WTS and showering with the boys!

On the WTS site is an article entitled: "Should I Get a Tattoo?" and the guilts are everywhere in this article! It doesn't take too much intelligence to work out early on what the WTS' stance on tattoos is, not that it seems to have much to do with "freedom in Christ".

Their cajoling of the R&F descends the depths when it comes up with this "reason" not to have a tattoo:

Consider also whether choosing to get a tattoo would enhance or undermine your claim of being a Christian. Could it be a "cause for stumbling" others? (2 Corinthians 6:3) True, some youths have had their tattoos placed on hidden areas of the body. Even their parents may not know about these secret tattoos. But beware! An emergency trip to the doctor or simply taking a shower at school could make your secret common knowledge! Better it is to "conduct ourselves honestly in all things," avoiding foolish deception.?Hebrews 13:18.

Who wrote that stuff?? For heavens sake? Getting into the shower with the boys has what to do with having a tattoo? And how will going to the doctor have anything to do with whoever it is that could be "stumbled"? Are they saying that doctors can be stumbled by seeing the human body? Good grief!!

Their bullying of the R&F knows no bounds; clearly they have no conscience!

Cheers, Ozzie

I got one of those fake tattoos that eventually peel off. Boy did the crap hit the fan. What idiots, all of them knew I hate needles but quickly decided it was real.

The WTS is concerned about appearances not reality. That is because they do not serve the true God who sees everything but men who see only the outward appearance.

Well, at least the Maori tribe is safe from their teachings. Not one of them would be approved. I guess those translation boys have been wasting their time.

Once I wore lime green nailpolish to a meeting and was immediatley counseled afterwards on how distracting it was. Oh and it was also distracting that my skirt skimmed the knees instead of covering them. I couldn't help but think that maybe his "distraction" would have been prevented if that elder wasn't a perv.

The same elder told me that a dance I did with my best friend at my graduation party had "lesbian undertones." I still don't know what lesbian undertones are...

And what a goofy picture is in the article....

Those earrings and tank tops are vintage 1985?

everyone here in canada took that article as saying that it was okay to get a tattoo, and now lots of kids have it and they do not get marked or lose priveledges, as far as i know. as long as it is nothing offensive, and not on your forehead or something, it seems to be A-OK up here

I dont know where you are in Canada but tattoos are still taboo here. I got a spray on tattoo one day of a dragon..mom didnt like the idea that it was a dragon and couldnt believe I would go do that. I put a temporary tattoo on recently too and was told I was too old for that sort of thing and she couldnt believe it

Hmmm... before I can comment on this I will need for you to send me a pic of yourself in said dress doing said dance with "lesbian undertones" with your friend.
