What's With the "Tattle Tale" Mentality?
by beebee inadmittedly i'm an outsider but i do not get why witnesses feel so darn compelled to "tattle" on each other?.
i do remember my friend telling me (as justification for the shunning) that when a witness is baptised, they understand that they are accepted into a special society that requires a commitment to the "rules.
" she went on to say that those that don't follow the rules are well aware of the consequences.

Interestingly, there is no mention of getting proof for your allegations before running to tattle
I think the ''2 Witness'' rule is applied when it is beneficial to do so - in my PERSONAL experience, an untrue rumour was acted upon.

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.

I have never understood why ''sisters'' are not permitted to wear trousers - what is the thinking / reason for this? In Western Society, trousers have been an accepted part of a woman's wardrobe for MANY years - both casually AND formally. How can it be deemed ''inappropriate'' for a ''sister'' to wear a very smart trouser suit?

Should we tell my sister in law she can appeal her DF'ing?
by AlmostAtheist ingina's sister and her husband haven't been df'd yet, contrary to what we were told.
she will be announced this thursday.. she's not aware of the "organization" side of the organization, gina and i both feel she is unaware of her right to appeal.
if we tell her, and she appeals, i think she stands a decent chance of having it overturned.

My Heart bleeds for you - what chance has your Sister-In-Law (with difficultires) got against a body of pre-programmed Elders (no offence) - they don't care, and they have the upper hand. They just rub their hands together - pathetic little men - did I say that out loud?
....get out of her my people.....where DID I hear THAT?

To be fair - why run around after pathetic men who are trying to prove themselves? Your nephews and nieces are being compromised into LYING, and they are innocents - not fair - think of the long term effects.

I just got access to a HUGE WT library...what do I want to get?
by wanderlustguy inmy brother and his wife (still very much in) just inherited a library of wt publications dating back to the 20's.
the best part is, it's complete with both the original watchtowers and bound volumes, in many cases there are 2 of each of the bound volumes, which i can have one of.
i plan on doing a lot of research on here to figure out what all i need...still a "newbie" you know.
