    I do think it is a ridiculous rule! But fellas you have to admit, there was nothing like a hot sister in a sundress pounding the service routine on a warm summer morning!

    The last memorial I went to in 2001 I wore a pant suit just for fun. Some were nice and others looked at me with disgust. It made me giggle a little to go in pants.

    I remember a sister out in field service, one hot summer day, that was wearing a skirt. She deliberately walked over a sprinkler in order to cool off. It made for a good fantasy.

    "Isn't there something in the bible about women and their hair too. I can't recall which scripture it is. I think it's about women not cutting their hair."

    "For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head." 1 Corinthians 11:6 - New International Version

    I've wondered that myself.

    Why do "sisters" always seem to choose to look like derelict, penniless, bag ladies? Any sister that looks pleasing in a modest well arranged dress (think high paid executive in a business suit dress) will quickly be scolded, given the evil eye, and otherwise made to feel like she wears a big red letter A on her forehead simply for dressing smartly, and being attractive.

    What a sad commentary on the insecurities of the males and females in the oh so "loving" org.

    I was encouraged to have mine chopped off as it was and still is very long.........

    That's something else that pretty well pisses me off about the org. The general feeling promoted that long hait on a woman is somehow ugly and wrong. It seems the reason they always give because they have to take time to take care of it and style it that otherwise should be used in field serve us. Selfish illegitimate sons.

    In my area of the country back in the day when I still engaged in field serve us we would go to some pretty big ranches.

    Got the hell chewed out of myself by a self-righteous eldurr for wearing black Wranglers. Sorry SOB refused to ever be in the same vehicle with me after that. One of the many little things that caused me to open my eyes and start seeing TTATT.

    women would not start behaving like men or imagining that they have a dick!

    hahahahaha!!

    Thankfully, this quote does not refer to the same body part as the one I posted above it.

    On a serious note, I cannot fathom how any female could be happy in that or any other xian cult. We are systematically subverted. Sick.

    Not much of a difference.

    And I bet it's even more complicated than it looks. I bet there are rules for those women about how many pleats are in their puffed shoulders and how many centimeters high their hair should be. They look sort of like animals, like a herd of goats or flock of chickens for a guy to take care of.

    No, not happy. Subhuman.

    because a man made the rule, no other reason.
