The rule on having "large gatherings" was stupid. Because SOME people abused a "Christian get-together" that had a lot of people, we could only get together in smaller groups.
Was There Ever Any Rule That You Thought Was Silly In The Organization?

Having to wear skirts and dresses. We walked both ways to our bookstudy and the KH was an unreliable busride away. Tights don't help much in the middle of winter.

Sisters had to have a dress or skirt--no matter what! Very silly rule. Another one is wearing a "handkerchief head covering".

Yup - the ' no trousers ' rule always got on my nerves especially in Winter, as Glitter says.
Not being allowed to say ' for god's sake' , not being allowed to be left alone with a member of the opposite sex, sisters not being allowed to take any responsibility.

Not being able to say, "Bless you", or "lucky". If you did say something like that you'd be looked upon as demonized.

Hated that. I remember finding out women couldn't be elders (about 6 or 7) and being astonished!
"lucky"
Hehe *fortunate*.
