  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 wonder how "tight" is "tight"? Is there going to be a measurement of tightness that can be gauged?

  Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

  how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

  how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

  Taliesin, yes that is what it suspected. The doctrine makers of the WT had never heard of Genghis and that's why he didn't get a look in when they listed the world powers

Brutal and yet also revolutionary in its law making and society. And yet not mentioned in the bible or prophecies? It had a major impact upon the world to the extent that a large chuck of us are related to the man or his army.

  Yet how come the bible writers seems to see oblivious to this empire?

  They would all fit on the isle of Wight?

  by purrpurr in

  i remember once asking how the planet could possibly accommodate all the people who have ever lived?

  after the resurrection i mean.

  the answer i was told is that the gb had calculated that all the people who have ever lived could all fit on to the isle of wight?!.

  The isle of Wight for non UK members is a small island off the coast of Portsmouth, the south of England.

  At the time it didn't make sense to me but I just put that down to me not being intellectual enough to understand it. But now of course it seems so stupid! This can't be right surely?

  a strange urge is building in my brain... each time i see a jw literature cart on the street it builds.

  it is becoming a stronger and stronger thought in my mind.

  Got a couple of ideas: take all the literature, I mean keep doing it, every week be there as soon as they get there to set up and just scoop up the whole lot... And when they eventually try to start a bible study explain that you love their publications because they make such great cat litter liners!

  Or make up ways to spill stuff "accidentally" all over the cart and literature. Like coffee, or ketchup from a bottle, baby bottles full of milk squirted. Etc etc

  Or... Hit them at the source donate to the bored and cold jw's there some free coffee that you've brought them.... Just slip some high strength laxative into it first!!!

  i was just watching a documentary film about the amish.

  this one girl who left said she didn't leave until her early twenties because as a teen until then she had her eye on one of the boys in the church.

  she had a crush on him and hoped to marry him.

That was a big motivation to obey the church rules and try to accept the armish lifestyle.

  It made me think... I wonder how many teens in the WT stay and or get baptised because they have a crush on someone in the Cong that they hope to marry if they prove themselves "spiritual"?

  What do you think?

  exaggerations from the assembly platform or jw urban myths do not count!.

  Joseph made stripes in the bark of the trees where the flock watered. Seeing the stripes it appears really got the sheep in the mood and they humped right there and then in front of the stripey trees.... And get this... Because the lambs had been conceived in front of stripey trees... They were born with stripey coats!!!!!

  Seriously?! Seriously!!!!? Is it just me who missed this?
