This was in the early 80's. I came to the meeting straight from work and still had on my work uniform. Blue pants and a button down shirt. An elder approached me and asked why I was not in a skirt. I explained that I came straight from work and didn't have time to change. He told me I should have just stayed home. My husband and I showed up at the next Sunday meeting in our jeans. He didn't say a word to us. Idiots!

What immodest clothing have you got in trouble for wearing?
by Addison0998 ini personally have a very distinct sense of style and fashion which many of the fellow jdubs frown upon.
recently, i was told by a few specially self righteous ones that i looked like a prostitute in a pair of white boots!
a pair of 3 inch heeled, just a little taller than the ankle boots, with skirt that came down to my knees and a black long sleeve shirt that came up to my collarbone.

When my sister was younger she got in a fight with another young girl at the Kingdom Hall. The mother of the girl called my dad at home to complain about it. He ended up telling her that " every monkey loves it's own". All hell broke loose. She accused him of calling her daughter a monkey. He spent the next 10 minutes trying to explain to her that it wasn't a racist thing. People just need something to bitch about!

We all know that article is all lies! It's all about appearances. That's what they want people to think about them.

Org's "rearranginging deck chairs on the titanic" serving 2 purposes
by nowwhat? inin 2 weeks we will be announcing major changes in northern ohio congregations and there is quite the buzz in the area about it.
just talked to a jdub from the detroit area that just underwent similar changes, and they mentioned it has been "quite exciting" to get to meet new brothers and sisters.
so besides the cash benefit of selling a couple kingdom halls in the process.

They'll keep doing things like this until all of the older ones are dead. Then they will totally reinvent themselves. They have already begun that. But we know the outcome of the titanic.

Who's the poster on here that says "Let's review. It's a cult."

2018 Courage Convention video invitation
by Listener inthe video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.
i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.
next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

This looks like a Scientology video. They're starting to morph into them.

I said that I would never step foot inside a Kingdom Hall. But I just recently attended a funeral service for a family friend. I felt extremely out of place but I was paying my respects to the family. They looked up scriptures on their phones and played a song with words about the resurrection at the end that appeared on 2 giant screens. I haven't been to a KH in years. It was very "1984".

Kleenex Head Covering
by jwundubbed ingrowing up a woman in the cult was pretty bleak.
most of the adult women i knew were either depressed sad women or an embarrassment to me.
i was typical kid in that regard.

I remember one sister who put a diaper on top of her head to conduct the meeting for field service. A regular diaper....not a cloth one. How is that in any way showing respect for the headship arrangement, much less for yourself? We all thought that she looked like a complete fool! But she thought that she was obeying the arrangement.
