I'm watching People's Court right now while I'm surfing the net. . . and perked up when I heard the words "Kingdom Hall".
Turns out the plaintiff, an elderly woman, is a JW and mentioned during her testimony that she was on the way to Kingdom Hall when her car started knocking and making noises. Judge Milian said "what's Kingdom Hall". The plaintiff said "you know, Jehovah's Witness". Then she went into more detail about how she returned to the car repair shop and when the mechanic tried to get in the car to look at the steering wheel, she said "move, I don't want you under my steering wheel, you're going to mess my car up". Then she said, "only, I didn't say 'mess' my car up . . you know what I said".
Judge Milian laughs and says, "well, what did you say? I thought you were on your way to Kingdom Hall? You'd think you could clean up your language when you're on your way to Kingdom Hall". Then the audience and the entire courtroom started cracking up!

Just got back. Suffered through the talk - but felt satisfied that I rebelled (even if only in small ways) by not wearing panty-hose, wearing a borderline skirt (it showed a little knee when I sat down), and by not bringing a bible or songbook.
I agree with 95stormfront. . .
One hour our of my life to keep the wife happy for another year
One sacrificed hour per year to keep my mom happy . . . not a big deal.

How did you like the movie? Think it is Oscar-worthy?

Tough day -- my mom died today
by cruzanheart inpoor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.
the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.
last weekend she actually looked a little better.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I understand what you mean about that sense of relief - I felt that when my Dad passed away.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts.

JWs and Clothing
by the_classicist inwhere i live, its not usual for people to "dress up," especially business people and executives, you are more likely to see them with a button up shirt, khakis, and one of those fleece vests on.
so, on the whole, jws look very out of place wearing their cheap suits (though a few elders didn't wear cheap suits and they made that known, "look at this, i got a spot on my new $200 designer shirt" -- really, something like this happened).
but what i did notice is that, in my area, dressing guidelines usually weren't followed, or enforced for that matter, for good looking women.

In my experience, sisters as a whole really got off the hook when it came to dress and grooming.
MungoBaobab, I have to disagree with your statement that sisters had it easier - dress wise. Try wearing pantyhose during a heat-wave, skirts/dresses in cold weather (your legs freeze), and don't even mention shoes for field service (if they were comfortable, they usually looked rediculous with a skirt/dress - if they looked good with your skirt/dress, they usually wern't comfortable).
And, in my opinion, being told that you HAVE to wear a skirt or dress is absolutely demeaning! I almost never wear skirts now - I can't wear them without feeling uncomfortable.
Am I the only person feeling this way?
