Not exactly at the WT meeting, but a few years ago the elders had a meeting in the back after the watchtower with all the guys who were in their twenty somethings to talk about "reaching out for privlidges." Off the cuff, the CO said it's okay to wear dress shirts that have short sleeves. But that if we were wearing long sleeved dress shirts it was "wordly" to roll them up. There was nearly an instant mutiny amongst all the elders in the room and they stepped out for a few minutes and when they came back the CO said it was okay to roll up our sleeves if we wanted to.
After the meeting was over, one of the kiss butt guys said, "You know, if an elder doesn't want us to roll up oursleeves we should just listen to him. They are appointed for our protection."
It's bizarre looking back, what a deluded self righteous little brat I used to be. How I possibly could have thought at the time that there was "sprirtual danger" in rolled up sleeves is completely beyond me. But the CO really did like me after that comment . . . until he cheated on his wife and ran off with another woman not six months later. Typical witness behavior, strain out the gnat but gulp down the camel.
