    Keep your oppressive meeting clothes on during evening leisure around convention time.

    Talking to the opposite sex on the phone is considered dating (WTF?)

    Those who can actually sing those dull Kingdom Melodies should show tact and not humiliate those not vocally gifted (not sure if this was an actual rule, but I have heard friends were counseled on this)

    • your not a really good witness if you don't answer at least once every meeting but if you do, only say what's in the lit

    Amen, sister!

    I have a pretty good singing voice, and since I had memorized all the Kingdom Melodies, I never used a songbook.

    Need I say I was regarded with suspicion?

    No national flags, or for that matter, nothing with a national flag on it was allowed, no matter how tiny it was.

    (I had a decal on my car... that "Had" to be removed pronto. )

    The bread and wine at the memorial is de-activated after the final prayer and it is OK for the non-annointed to eat it or drink it just to see what it tastes like.

    Lol, we did this all the time afterwards, I never thought of it like that.

    the PO actually gave a talk that
    "suggested" married women
    have their attire aproved
    by their "head"... including bending
    in front of said head to have HIM
    determine if there was too much
    cleavage.....

    single women were told to check
    themselves out by bending forward
    in front of a mirror ....
    and married women were too stoopid?

    then there was the "skirt slit" spirituality indicator....
    do i have to explain it to anyone here?
