Whoa, Blondie, you're telling me that women's underwear has some kind of special sizing scheme? Men's just goes by waist size, and even there it's usually a pretty big range!
SNG
(...of the "I need some underwear...do you have any in size alpha-niner-niner-bravo?" class)
SNG, women's underwear has a mystical numbering system that has no relationship to anything.
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
what???????????????
women's = large
ladies = regular
underwear = all inclusive lingerie
underpants = not bras, slips, etc.
cotton = not sexy
You'ld think that jehoover would save the postage and use on of his messangers (angels). Maybe he was worried that the angel would get ideas.

Uh... maybe it's me but I sure would feel weird if a friend sent me any underwear in the mail much less 17 FREAKIN' PAIRS!
Hey jes a dang minute there ... Nos!!!
What will you do with 17 pairs of panties...?
They would be great for those intimate nights when I'm all alone, LOL!
Speaking of which, how the hell do you end up with 17 pairs? That's quite an uneven number. I find that most underwear (non-sexy type) is sold in packs of three or six. Shouldn't there be 18 pairs? Did Jehovah keep a pair for himself?
A few thoughts on this...
First of all... without having seen the entire article - it's difficult to tell, but it sounds like one of their 'continuing series' of articles about their 'old-timers', talking about 'the good ol days'.
I mean... 'full service' gas stations... haven't existed for over 30 years now - if not more. Twenty-five cents for gas? Nowadays, I probably spill .25 worth of gas putting the hose back onto the pump. Twenty-five cents won't get you too far down the road these days. It probably costs twice that much to get the car to the gas station!
As for savings accounts - now days, you have to have a 'minimum amount' to be able to even open an account, and there are usually service charges, etc. Yup... not a recent story.
Now for the fun part...
"...we could see Jehovah's hand in our life..." - more like his hand in your underwear drawer... and possibly elsewhere...
"...I received a package with 17 pairs of panties, a slip, a blouse, and other items! All from someone I hadn't heard from for a year."
This was either from a boyfriend who knew her sizes... or the stuff was from her ex-husband - and it was the rest of her belongings that she had left in his possession. He would have sent them sooner, but she lit out so quick after the divorce/break-up, and hadn't left a forwarding address, it took that long for him to track her down. They just don't tell you _that_ bit... as it cleverly got edited by the folks in Brooklyn.

Undaunted Danny's "experiences" in the 'troof'.
The saga of the,
COOLS vs. the GEEKS
The Jdub compulsion to be "COOL" at all cost.What it means to be 'exemplary'.Exemplary means that you '$how what you owe'.
In 1989 a leading elder {that I trusted} taps me on the shoulder and tells me how he has telephoned the WT$ H.Q. Ivory tower,to inquire on,"how much longer can it last"."It can only 'last' just a few more months is the ominous reply".
Yes sir, this is heavy on my heart. Just how will I be 'found in the day of Jehovah's anger'?Will I 'probably' be saved?How do I conduct myself with the horrific death of nearly 6 billion men women and small children on my conscience?Will I be found 'blood-guilty' for not serving Jehovah to the fullest.[Col.3:23]
Who, should I look to as an example?What about the resident'Bethelite'?He just did a stint at Brooklyn and was a ministerial servant,and is looked up to as "exemplary". He is also considered to be the 'coolest' guy in the hall.In fact he drives a 'cool' two door Saab coupe.{the sisters are drooling over him}.He also subscribes to 'worldly',Rolling stone and Spin magazines.So he can be current with all the latest coolest 'worldly'. trends.
In contrast,I have heeded the WT$'s directive to only purchase a modest,$1,500.00 four door family style sedan.it's very plain and ordinary (geeky) I think it s**ks,I'm a 4X4 pickup man myself.But the Ivory tower say's only buy four door sedans to facilitate,'car groups' for the sacred door to door 'field service'.
I'm making $50,000.00 a year and I drive a 's**t box'.because i am donating all my profits to the Watchtower $ociety.I am also at (age 29) still living with mom and dad, to economize on living expenses. I keep my nearly blind from birth mom,furnished with all the necessary appliances for sure.I even bought her a 25" color TV from K-mart.While the most popular( exemplary) family in the church has a wide screen TV.
I bought with cash, for a pioneer, a better car than I have.I am giving thousands of dollars to the Watchtower's world wide work,while my family and I lives modestly.
For all my sincere earnest toil and goodness,I am loathed and ridiculed by my brothers and sisters at the Rockland Massachusetts congregation.
Sneering at me behind my back.Yes,they tried to pin a 'kick me sign' on my back.Squeezed into their mold a dumb geek,"who is so dum,why he doesn't have the sense to be cool like us". 
This is the event that set me free.The god of these ass"wholes" is not the god i will serve. 
It must have come from Jehovah. Everyone knows that preaching in dirty underwear is unscriptural and dirty underwear attracts demons.

I don't know I have a hard time laughing at this... this cult mentality that she spent hours scrubbing floors to buy shoes so she could spent more time selling magazines and books (back then they charged) it's just sad make me want to weep...
wonder where she is now... did she ever wake up? Did she end up working until the day she died due to putting nothing aside for her old age?
yes a great example of a true servent of god... how can these mother f*ckers sleep at night...
So, the lesson I glean from this experience is that Jehovah does not want us going commando.
