Blondie said : "In my last congregation, the sisters were allowed to have 2 piercings in each ear; but other congregations in the circuit did not allow it. "
That is crazy ! So extreme..... The worst I had was when I moved to a small country cong & a young sis had a nose stud... that caused a ruccus. The P O asked me for an outsiders view. I said I thought The Lord was more concerned with hearts than noses......
This study perpetrates the myth that they, in the ivory towers of New York State can speak for God & reading the WT gives "Jehovah's thinking" on a matter. If that were true then Jehovah would be a vacillating God, always ready to change .. As Paul might say "Never might that happen!"
NB . I chuckled at the comment about a sister not buying an expensive pair of shoes because her husband would not like it...... In my experience J W wives are just as devious on such things as any other women . Us mere men just carry on ,wondering where the money's gone
