    A man in my congregation one time was publicly reproved for having cuffs in his trousers, and his wife for wearing a granny dress.

    ...these are so funny, but so ridiculously stoooopid!

    ...do not watch E.T., cause he is depicting the resurection, by bringing the flower back to life! But I loved that film

    ...do not do YOGO, it empties the mind and allows satan to take over!

    ...do not wear trousers to the meeting (girlies that is) cause its not modest, but a skirt down of proper length is fine!

    oh there are sooo so many things

    ...not to make more money than my husband.

    ...not to correct him (or any other man) in public.

    ...not to show too much leg during the meeting. (it was distracting)

    oh...and to immediately destroy the box of lucky charms I had on my fridge.

    Not to have Priscilla curtains (the criss-cross type) in my living room. The book study was held there and the P.O./Conductor told me that his mother was afraid someone would shoot at her through the window.

    1969. My mom ordered some cool clothes from the Eaton's catalogue for me, that I had been pestering here to buy. One of the shirts was a zipper up pullover, and attached to the zipper was a metal peace sign.was the cool thing about it in the first place.

    In league City, Texas back in the late '70s we used to go to a German restaurant, Hofbrau Gardens, after thursday night meeting. You could get pizza along with the usual German sausages and stuff, and they had a live band; that's where I learned the BOX STEP.

    One night we showed up and there were two elders at the entrance, towering there at the door like a couple of Nazi Gestapo. They informed my dad (who was an elder) that we shouldn't go in. I don't remember the reasoning, but my dad was pissed.

    Don't say "gosh"... it just another form of "god".

    Don't say "shoot"... it's just another form of "Shite".
