  No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'

  by wizzstick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?

  )- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.

  wow.

  I suppose dressing like a pedophile will be ok then.

  In fact, isn't the pedo punishment more field service!

  I only see a win-win here.

  Elders harass certain individuals over their dress and grooming (nothing new about that.)

  Certain individuals get pissed off over it, wake up to ttatt and leave =win for the individual.

  If certain individuals do not comply they are not allowed to go in field service =win for the individiual (yaaay no fs!)

  Have you heard the one about "Back to the Future" Predicting 911??

  when somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.

  after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.

  at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.

  Just curious

  i remember that every time when my father and i came home from the meeting, my mother (who stayed at home for my disabled brother) asked us "who was attending and who wasn't attending".. and then, we took some time to drink coffee and went through the list who was there and who wasn't.

  there after there was an opinion made why someone was absent and what this meant in relation with his strength of believe.. just curious, do you recognize this?

  gorby.

  I think the reason why we can make similar observations re witness behavior is because we were all hit with same indoctrination stick.

  Shouldn't it have a satellite dish or at least an antenna.

  Plus, some bible-vision goggles.

  @Marvin Shilmer - "......top-down run organization..."

  Yes, as I would like to call it the trickle-down spiritual food economy theory that the WT love so much.

  All the "good oil" goes to the ones at the top and the spiritual wealth flows all the way down to the r&f -not!

  All I ever saw and experienced was the "spiritually" rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer!

  Whoda thought, Jehovah using the love of unrighteous riches of law firms to tear down the WT case by case.

  God really does work in mysterious ways.
