NO,NO. My wife also read it to me and shortly afterward she went to the store and called me. It was lunch time and she saw several JWs walking into a restaurant, and how did she know they were JW. Today it's around 100 degrees and the women had long dresses and the men in suits.

And I dare say probably not a young one among them.

What is this thing with suits? I queried it years ago and suggested that jw look ,like a bunch of 'car-salesmen' that went down like a lead balloon.

What's this thing with really long dresses? Sometimes I see them on FS and I can't believe how long their dresses are now, almost down to the ground.

Even if driving through an unfamiliar town, I can pick out the JW's by their weird attire. How different from Jesus, who simply melted in to a crowd once, he couldn't have done that dressed in anything that stood out as different !
On the issue of being preached at, this happened to me a few months back, I was tempted to cut the guy short, but it occurred to me that he would think to himself " He just does not wish to hear the truth", so I let him ramble on, and the said " Well, I cannot agree with any bit of that". That shut him up.

Xanthippe. Long dresses?
Once I attended a cong bowling night. So many of the sisters skirts were indecently short by any standards.. and there was idiot screaming every time some one got a strike.. behavior in the extreme , I left.
Suits. In summer here they still wear suits.. handling the mike --must have the jacket on-- any suggestions as to why?

I was told when you represent Jehovah in service or in the meetings you should wear your best gear. If you are invited to be a guest of the Queen or the President you would wear your best duds, soooo standing before Jehovah all parts of the body enclosed , your most modest attire. Jehovah loves it when the weater is hot and the brothers wearing suits, he demand it. Maybe someone can show us a scriptures where this is the case.
