On an e-mail group (Yahoo group) that I follow for fun it was noted from the wt study the following "In the tower today par 13 speaking about Job refusing to throw a kiss for fear if might be an idolatrous act. the question was ask "what would be consider a modern day parallel, to the throwing of kisses, that the par was speaking off" there were a number of comets but one being, the tipping your hat to a lady and also at a funeral procession. If any can recall of commert made at there hall I would be interested in hearing of them !!"
This prompted someone else to recommend the following reference from which I pulled this info. Notice how Satan used the "woman" to bring about the downfall of men dedicated to Jehovah.

But in his world Satan has reversed matters. Starting in Eden, he has pushed the woman ahead of the man, exalted her above man and used her to bring about the downfall of men dedicated to Jehovah. He has flouted God by reversing the position of the sexes. But he is very subtle about it, camouflaging his work under the guise of harmless custom. Many customs are harmless, but when they contradict a theocratic principle Satan is behind it to discredit God. He is a past master at such deception. (2 Cor. 11:14) In this particular matter of hat-tipping he appeals to the vanity of women and the so-called gentlemanly qualities of men, and any man who does not comply with the subtle custom is considered crude and discourteous, disrespectful of womanhood. So out of a fear of what others may think the majority fall into conformity.-Prov. 29:25.
