  Does that mean that now they will be known as Jehovah's Whippets?

  I never wore pantyhose as a jw and still don't. I think I have some kind of allergy, as my legs used to break out in a rash when I wore them. During the winters I wore tights, but in warm weather, I just wore dresses well below the knee. No one ever said anything to me about it, even while I pioneered. Maybe the rule doesn't count for fat girls.

  Do Not Expect More Than God DoesOur view of others is very limited compared to Jehovah’s, who reads the heart. (1 Chronicles 28:9) Appreciating this will prevent us from becoming modern-day, self-righteous Pharisees, trying to press people into our own man-made mold of righteousness in order that they might fit our concept of what is correct. If we try to see people as God sees them, we will not require more of them than he does. We will "not go beyond the things that are written." (1 Corinthians 4:6) This is especially important for Christian elders to take to heart.—1 Peter 5:2, 3.

  We can illustrate this in the matter of dress. The Bible requirement—God’s requirement—is that a Christian’s clothing must be neat and clean, well-arranged and not betraying a lack of "modesty and soundness of mind." (1 Timothy 2:9; 3:2) Obviously, then, the elders in one congregation went "beyond the things that are written" a few years ago by requiring every public speaker in their congregation to wear a white shirt, even though pastel colors were generally acceptable in that country. Guest speakers who showed up with a colored shirt were asked to change into one of several white shirts kept in the Kingdom Hall for just such emergencies. How careful we have to be in order not to impose our personal taste on others! And how appropriate Paul’s counsel: "Let your reasonableness become known to all men"!—Philippians 4:5.

  I just asked to be shown a scripture or even something in the WT publications...won't find anything. Falls right into the rule against all non-white shirts.

  Billy the Ex-Bethelite

  "Now when we go door to door, the only ones we find home are the dogs."

  ... he said that the sisters should always wear panythose while in service.

  So, like, does he mean that the dogs are more likely to listen to the Kingdom Message(tm) if the sisters are wearing nylons?
