Only wear stuff that is at least 10 years out of date so that you dress 'older' than you are. It is still being dominated by the worlds fads etc.....only 10 year lag!

May each of us show our reverence for Jehovah by our dress and grooming
How interesting! Thanks for alerting us, Minimus.
Isn't it strange how the "thought police" so easily take on the role of "dress police"?
And just to throw the "guilts" on the R&F they bring Jehovah's name into it! Funny though, I understood that Jehovah made man and woman WITHOUT clothes and later out of consideration for them, he provided "skimpy" coverings.
I wonder which fashion house is now theocratically approved?
Cheers, Ozzie

Baggy clothes are way less suggestive than tight fitting, crotch-advertising jeans...cum to think of it, ban the baggy look!
Until I read this, it hadn't occurred to me that we seem to have stumbled on some "new light" here! After all, it was tight clothing that the WT used to object to, not baggy clothing. Notice the "old light" in this quotation:
*** w66 12/1 p. 736 Questions from Readers ***
Of course, when individuals begin to associate with Jehovah’s witnesses it takes time until Bible principles really govern their thinking in all the matters of life. Even some who have been associated with the organization for many years may be careless in this regard. This is evident from the fact that nearly every week the Watch Tower Society receives letters from individuals who are shocked by the tight-fitting, excessively revealing or suggestive clothing that some who attend congregation meetings wear. Usually those who take offense are rather new in the truth, though not always. But, whether they are newer ones or not, we do not want our personal conduct to stumble them, do we? We feel as did the apostle Paul, when he wrote, at 1 Corinthians 10:23, 24: "All things are lawful; but not all things are advantageous. All things are lawful; but not all things build up. Let each one keep seeking, not his own advantage, but that of the other person." Generally speaking, Jehovah’s witnesses are exemplary in their modesty, but it is not good to become careless about it.

These experiences are hilarious. I recall the conventions being a really big fashion show with the sisters. It was all about outdoing the next sister. One could be frowned upon for wearing the same clothes they wore weekly to the meetings. For me I could not just wear what I had in my closet. The convention meant buying three or four new outfits for the occasion and ensuring I had my hair and nails done the day before leaving. Ah I am so glad I am done with all of that.
