Then there's the constant critique of what you're wearing, especially for sisters. I was so concerned that, gasp, my skirt might creep up while seated, and horrors, my kneecap might peek out. I got told once to put my coat over my lap so I wouldn't have to worry. I was so worried about appearance that I barely heard the talks. A wardrobe malfunction at the Hall means your knees were showing!
You'd get talked to if you weren't dressed properly as a Christian sister should be. The stress began before you even arrived at the meeting, followed by the stink eye and loving counsel. Who needs it. Jesus wasn't all hung up on what people were wearing.
what can I say but to agree with all of the above and I was 'in' for a lifetime.
and I have observed that jw are as a group the un-healthiest of people.
The mental manipuation exerted with the passing years by the organization of Jehovah witnesses on their members to make them believe that they are living every day surrounded by enemies (the "worldly" people) inevitably brings them to face a constant stress.
