    Well, she's not the typical JW-woman, my friend. They use to look like this, which is also from the same braindead site:

    For some reason the "Meat in due season" is quite often about "Post-traumatic Stress" and other examples of the "Happiest People On Earth".

    I think it's the same woman. Take a closer look.

    Clearly it is THE HAT which makes her happy.

    Kent,

    From all appearances ``meat in due season'' isn't too dissimilar from ``dead meat,'' no?

    I was once "counseled" for wearing a really cute hat to the Kingdom Hall. That was back when I was still cute as well.

    Maybe JW women are going to be able to choose their own clothing for the pleasing effect from now own. NOT!!

    The Genuine Panama Hat--Made in Ecuador?

    By Awake! Writer in Ecuador

    WAS the customer duped? To an observer, it might have seemed so. Why, the fellow paid $300 for a genuine Panama hat. But the salesman took it out of a box that was clearly stamped "Made in Ecuador"! A fraud? Far from it. In fact, the true Panama hat is indeed made in Ecuador. But how did such a misnomer come about? And why would such a hat be worth hundreds of dollars?

    In the mid-1800's, gold seekers rushed to California by way of the Isthmus of Panama. There they purchased hats imported from Ecuador. In time, the hats came to be known by the name of their point of purchase rather than their place of origin. In any event, the Panama hat became very popular. In 1849, for example, Ecuador exported more than 220,000 of them! Then, in 1855 a Frenchman who lived in Panama introduced the hats to the world's fair in Paris. The fashion-savvy French were impressed with the delicate material, some even describing it as "straw cloth." Soon it was virtually unthinkable to wear any other style!


    Winston Churchill is one of many well-known people who have worn the Panama hat.

    The popularity of the Panama hat soared at the start of the 20th century when a photograph of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt sporting a stylish fino appeared in the world press. The demand for the chic hat rose. Prominent companies around the globe began distributing them. In Turkey, modernization laws banned the traditional fez in 1925 and mandated the use of Panama hats. By 1944 the Panama hat had become Ecuador's primary export item.

    By the second half of the 20th century, the popularity of hats waned. Yet, Ecuador's finely woven Panama hats maintained their mystique. Indeed, expert hatters throughout the world compete for premium-grade specimens. Famous people from bygone eras to our day have been captivated by the elegance of the Panama hat. It has graced the heads of Winston Churchill, Nikita Khrushchev, Humphrey Bogart, and Michael Jordan—to name but a few.

    Of course, there are inexpensive mass-produced imitations of the genuine Panama. However, many of these crack; others do not breathe. In contrast, the genuine Panama is light and airy, and it lasts a lifetime. Each is handwoven and therefore is one of a kind. Prices range from a few dollars for the coarser hats to over $1,000 for the rarest, the superfinos of Montecristi. Quality is determined by the fineness and regularity of the weave as well as the consistency of color. But always remember this: A genuine Panama hat is made only in Ecuador.

    The Making of a Panama Hat

    How is the Panama hat made? A palmlike plant provides the supple yet resistant fiber called toquilla. Ecuador's coastal lowlands provide ideal conditions for the growth and regeneration of this plant. The Ecuadoran hat artisans are considered to be among the world's finest weavers, and what painstaking work they perform! It can take them six months or more to weave the high-quality Montecristi superfino. The length of each fiber in the hat is quite short. Yet, in a genuine Panama hat, you can hardly tell where one strand ends and the next one begins. Furthermore, the strands are so tightly woven that even water will not seep through!

    The town of Montecristi is renowned for its excellent handwoven hats. The masters of the Montecristi area weave in the early morning or late afternoon so that the equatorial heat does not affect the pliancy of the fiber. They begin the crown by meticulously weaving circle upon circle of intricately laced fiber until the desired diameter is achieved. Then the crown is placed on a cylindrical wood block so that the artisan's hands can deftly spiral downward as he weaves the sides. After many weeks his weaving proceeds at a right angle to form the brim. A thorough trimming, washing, and bleaching coupled with sundry finishing techniques produce the famed Panama hat.

    Is this an example of "Meat in due season?" Is there nothing spiritual to write about?

    NO! These articles are only included so guilty JWs can read at least SOME pablum from the Borg. The articles of in-depth spiritual discussion are merely turned past.

    Then in the Field Service car group, someone will likely say, "Did you see that article on Panama Hats?" Thereby giving the impression of having read the WHOLE magazine! BWA HA HA.

    Hey Guys, and especially the Gals,

    You're missing the main message on their page. The doll on the left, gussied up is wearing a hat, a big white, pannama hat, she has been to Panana on a cruise ship or serving where need is great. The hat is white, purity, like Hopalong Cassidy, cowboy from the from the thirties. Bad guys wear black hats. She looks pretty fierce to me, someone I don't want to mess with. Must be DO's wife.

    The the burned out babe on the left, holding onto her head is not wearing a hat, she is not submissive, probably been visiting the apostate's board. Hence she is enduring pain. Probably pregnant too. Not making wise use of her time.

    The message to all you gals out there, wear a hat, be in style, wear a Panama hat, no kerchiefs or bandannas. and demonstrate submission, only then you get a cruise to the Caribbean.

    belbab, gotta hide this from the missus
