what argument is put forth that women must only wear dresses or skirts to the meetings or in service and are not permitted to wear slacks?
where does it say it's wrong for sisters to wear pants, and how are they convincing women in 2005 to buy into this?
i remember many bitterly cold chicago mornings with frozen legs running to doors and back to the warm car as quickly as possible, wearing a skirt which was ridiculous and inappropriate to the weather conditions.
Qcmbr - My favourite Mormon!!!
Seriously think of it from a girls perspective. If you are going out witnessing and its freezing cold outside and you are not allowed to wear pants that's horrible. Trust me we have very long cold miserable winters where I live. Why would God not want you to dress appropriately for the season.
Just so you know where I stand in light of this comment:
How we dress directly affects how we act and think - we seem desparate to show disrespect for God at every chance by dressing down and then arguing that God is no respecter of persons, we want to erase a God worthy of utmost respect and create some nice imaginary being who is impressed that you binned His commandments, is chuffed by down dressing, loves it when you bad mouth him, is satisfied that you look upon the death and sacrifice of his son as some fairly trivial act that gives an excuse for any kind of behaviour as long as you say the right things like 'I believe.'
Actually I still believe in God. I don't go about tarted up. I would hate to think I would do anything that would disrespect God!
Our grievance here is that the WTBTS applies this scripture to meetings and field service but not to normal day to day life. It is twisting them. Where is the consistency?
I don't think God would care if a female wore ladies pants...
P.S. Not offended...
right so for the last two months i've been exercising my ass off ..... literally !!!!!
i'm doing body for life.
i go to gym 6 times a week and train for no less than an hour.
Lou Belle that's great!
But trust me on this next bit.. Stay away from the scales....
Seriously if you are working out that much here is what happens. You burn off the fat but you begin to build muscle mass. So it appears on the scales like your weight loss is not all that significant.
Start measuring yourself. Keep a diary and measure yourself once a week. Your arms, legs, waist, bust etc. You will be amazed at the differences each week. And its really encouraging and a great way too keep motivated!
Good on you!

this really shows how the WT twist the scriptures. If its detestible to Jehovah to wear the opposite sexs clothes why is it only valid in the Hall and not when we are out shopping or socializing ?
You know what!? You are completely right!!
Seriously if you want to prove an instance of the WTBTS twisting the scriptues here is shining example!!
In my personal opinion I honestly believe its because the leaders of this organisation wanted to make a distinction between the sexes (yet again...). So its like some sort of honour to be able to wear pants or something... Good grief...

Ah huh!!!! FOUND IT!!
The scripture is Deuteronomy 22:5 from the New World Translation
5 “No garb of an able-bodied man should be put upon a woman, neither should an able-bodied man wear the mantle of a woman; for anybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah your God.
No doubt though the WTBTS have twisted this one completely out of context!!!
ok, so ive been reading this book called schildren of the matrix, which to be honest with you is alot of crock... except a few very thought provoking questions.... i have heard it said that the "founder" of jehovah's witnesses pastor c.t.
russell was a member of the illuminati... this author says that originally the bible students were called the "mind-control sect" by charles taze russell himself... and that he was a member of the illuminati and this was a new way to control more minds and more of the world by the aforementioned group.... what do you think???.
the infamous one
This is all new for me... What else you got oh infamous one....

Good topic Virgogirl!
I am most likely wrong on this but I remember bringing this up with an elder when I was in my teens. I can't remember if it was a publication or a scripture (but I'm pretty sure it was a scripture) about not adorning yourself in clothes that are typically worn by the opposite sex....
Damn I wish I could remember this clearly but its been so long now...
And too many good times has my memory shot to pieces!
the other day, my mom foun pictures of me getting a lapdance.
i was very embarassed when i saw it, but now she wants to read the bible to me so i won't go to strip clubs anymore.
can you say "pure hell"?
come now CRR... you can't just tell us the story and not reply to anyones questions...
Pull your finger out lad!
well i'm currently single.
was wondering if anyone knows of anything like this?
i know this is not a dating site but i would like to possibly meet someone who can relate to me when it comes to this...anyways thanks for the help in advace.
so many have always asked me (girlfriend and just friends) if I am going to go back.. after all I just told you do you think I am pyscho or something...must not have been listening
LOL!
Yeah I sorta thought the nightmares I have had about being back with the JW's sorta would've shown how I felt about going back...!!!! Or the way I go into panic mode when I see JW's about the place...
I mean yeah I'm a little nutty but I'm not insane!!!!

I hear you boys!!
My boyfriend has never been a JW and some stuff he just doesn't get... I can try explain things over and over and get no where. But he tries to understand and I love him so much for it.
It scares him though becuase he is always worried that one day I will go back. Despite me being so adamant that, that will NEVER happen....
