(for women) Measure hemline of your dress and make sure that your ankles don't show...or is it feet....
(for single women) Try to convince the only really marriable man in the entire congregation to NOT go to Bethel, but sound like you really mean the opposite, and pray to Jehovah that you don't end up with that doofus who keeps hovering around you
Only have family or personal "vacations" at bleak hotel rooms at conventions
Forget that the Smurf thing happened and deny all knowledge of alleged events to non-JW's
Forget that you believe that end is not near after all, and that all you really want to do is have some fun with "worldly people"
Forget that none of what you are hearing makes any sense
"Contribute" all your "extra" money, remembering this is especially important to do the more financially poor you are

Distrust establishment science, medicine, and the media except for when it reports how BAD everything is.

...obsess over every inane word of a bunch of barely-educated morons who represent 7 old men who claim to represent God.
...gush like an idiot over sitting in a stadium for 3 days, listening to the pseudo-spiritual babbling of printing company spokesmen.
...become inexplicably incensed when shown a scripture that denies one of your beliefs when you spend every Saturday morning trying to do just that to everybody else.
...believe "wait on Jehovah" means "wait on magazine writers to remove their heads from their asses".
...convince yourself rejecting God, Jesus, and the Bible to worship 7 old men and blindly obey a magazine as your holy book is the only way to be a "true Christian".
...be willfully ignorant and even deny the precious few things you do know when they conflict with the writings of 7 senile old men and their secretaries.
