What's The Silliest Rule That You've Seen In The Organization Or Cong.??? (page 3)

I went to a cong. in Honolulu where everyone was required to take off their shoes, Japanese style. The MS would nag visitors who had the audacity to keep their footwear on. Once, a man w. an artificial leg got offended by this and left, and never came back.

Single men and women could not sit next to each other unless they were dating. So if I sat with my friends entire family, her brother was not allowed to sit beside me, he would have to switch seats with her or her mother so no one would think we were dating. This rule applied to situations like a 19 year old sister sitting beside a 75 year old single brother as well.

If that had been me, I'd have taken my entire leg off. That would have taught 'em!

Being legless at the KH was one rule in our congregation, (or was that to do with drinking - uummm)

It wasn't really a "rule" for everyone...but my hubby and I while dating were not allowed to sit next to each other at the meetings. Both of his parents had to sit inbetween us. Even when we were engaged, we got "caught" holding hands and he was counciled... He was not allowed to "Date" me until I was baptized, otherwise I was "wordly association"

...twisted "rules"

wow, so many... where do i start?

the whole "counting time" was ridiculous, remember out in service we would stop at some random door to "start our time" and wouldnt actually be out in the neighbor hood until 45min later but would count the entire hour?

any fashion considered popular with young wordly people is a no-no. my brother shaved his head and got counseled for that. my moms nails were too long so they talked to her about that. oh yeah! and my my brother and i wore baseball caps backwards and one elder talked to our parents and said we looked wordly

stupid stupid stupid stupid rules! grrrrr!

I remember a time when a hot little Jay-Dub sister was commenting on a certain brother (who shall remain nameless out of humility )... she said: "Wow, he's such a stud!!!" and her grand mother suddenly spoke up and said: "He's a BROTHER not a HORSE!!!"
