How much do members of the Governing Body get in monthly expenses? Surely not enough to afford gold pinky rings and expensive watches.

Esse quam videri:
The Watchtower said that about helicopters? Where would I find that?"
I forget which Watchtower or Awake article it was in but it was mentioned in Clint Eastwood's movie A Perfect World where a JW child tells an escaped convict, played by Kevin Costner, that his religion is against it. In the final scene the convict played by Eastwood makes the child's mother promise that she allow her son to fly in a helicopter.
The movie was accurate about JW beliefs with one exception (hell) and was considered to be one of Eastwood's best, though underrated movies.

The 1950s were actually more advanced in science than the Watchtower. That is the decade when they said that helicopters were of the devil and that rockets would not work in space. -

Notice the uncovered face, make-up and stylish glasses that seemingly go against the spirit of a full blown ensemble.

"It does strike me as a symbol of subservience and silence. It would be interesting to confirm this information from a legit source."
There is a great span in the attire of Muslim women depending on the degree of religiosity they have.
- Liberal Muslim women don't wear anything on their heads.
- Moderates wear a simple veil over their heads.
- Conservatives wear the full Hijab but not necessarily with their faces covered.
- Extreme conservatives wear the Hijab with a veil on their face as well.
- Even more so are those who wear the full ensemble with their eyes covered by a fishnet in a very narrow slit barely allowing them to see where they're going. That's intended for men who would look at their eyes in case they're beautiful.
Wearing the veil could be interpreted as a simple act of modesty projected unto their god. It is the more advanced levels of dress that could be considered a sign of subservience to men.
The purpose of the most extreme forms of Muslim dress for women seems aimed at the goal of turning them into a shapeless blob that would not allow men to see them and thus be the subject of fantasy. It's intended to keep men from jerking off at night to the sight of a woman they would just happen to see during the day. This would not be far from what Jesus said about those who look at a woman with lust as committing adultery in their hearts - Matthew 5:27-30. Conservative Muslims simply take Jesus' words to their logical extreme an save men from the temptations of a mere ideation.

Finkelstein:
"Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States .
"Republicans don't have anyone to match this woman and her experience in federal politics."
I wish but let's not get too cocky. Hillary is, in my opinion, the lesser of two evils (being too corporatist to the point that she won't offend them). That won't affect the Liberal votes though.
What will affect "moderate" swing voters will be a toss up of the Benghazi pseudo-scandal, on one side, and the predictable arrogance of Trump, on the other hand.
As for Tramp I've heard that he's actually rising in the Republican's poll. Not surprising since virtually all Republicans have become radicalized to an extreme. Let's hope he becomes the GOP candidate.
