Jehovah's Witnesses and Plastic Surgery?

  I don't critciize people for having plastic surgery if they don't feel good about themselves; heck, there are things I'd like to fix about myself. HOWEVER, I do wonder how JWs, who preach that the end of the world is imminent, can justify it unless they have some really good reason.

  So, the end of the world is looming on the horizon and you're going for a boob job? Shouldn't you forgo that and give the money you would have used for it to the org? Little children are supposed to forgo ice cream, but you can get a boob job?

  Very good question.

  one girl even got her legs lengthen 5 inches making her about five feet nine inches tall

  
  

  Actually that procedure has been around for years. Just Google "Leg lengthening" Several people have done that here in the past. It's expensive and painful, the process is slow and about a year's time for 6 inches but a lot girls want to be tall like models and it works. I live near Mexico so they go across the border. They know their way around.

  Wow, I never heard of that. Why on earth would someone want to do that? So, how tall will she be in the new order?

  Good question, what about Michael Jackson?

  Lots of nose jobs, breast implants, lip augmentation, tattooed on make-up, spray-on tan's, laser skin procedures, artificial nails and hair implants over the last 10 years in our area. JW's want perfection and are tired of waiting for it. I'm half expecting people to break down and start buying the pet Lions and Pandas they were promised as children long ago.

  Noses growing back will be the least of these medical problems. People with dentures, artificial hips, knees, pacemakers and heart valves will have to stay alive while they grow perfect again. What's it going to be like to eat when their teeth start growing back and they can't wear their dentures or what will they do with the metal hip joint that's bolted to their pelvis when their hip bone starts growing in ? What if you had a terminal cancer when the tribulation started and you somehow survived into the new system but died 3 months later before you had grown perfect?

  It's pretty common in my area. It's kinda a don't ask don't tell policy. A sister may show up one day at the hall looking "enhanced" but nobody is going to go up and ask her anything, they'll just don't what jw's do, gossip behind her back.

  
  

  When I was still going to the hall, a few years back when it all started, one sister comes to the hall with big boobs. No one says a thing. A couple of months later another sister, then another and another. Then a couple of years later a brother who was half bald stops coming to the meetings for a few months, no one know where he is. Finally when he shows up he has a full head of hair.

  
  

  Now when you go to the one day assembly, you see sisters with such huge lips, that they look like those sex dolls in comedy shows.with the "O" shape mouth. And when you try to get to your seat, it like running through a patch of over ripe pumpkins hanging on a clothesline.
