i was told by my former book-study conductor recently that a new 'dress code' had been handed down by the wts, because people had been 'getting too casual' with their styles of clothing.

one item he mentioed was a new rule for women prohibiting denim skirts.

and, when a woman wore a denim jacket, she was also told this was not appropriate for the kh.

Denim is still demonized

get a grip...they are not saying don't wear denim ever.

denim is fine in certain circumstances

other occasions it is not.

get dressed up people - it's fun

ok, i am on my 8th book this month - not too bad for this mommy.

anyway, i've gotten back to my previous life of indulging myself into books that you can't put down.

little children by tom perrotta.. excellently portrayed 2 unhappily married suburbans who's repetitive wrong choices impact a their dull lives, yet alter your own moral thinking of them being heroic in their quest to find happiness with a self imprisoned/trapped marriage they each lead.

Proof the GB don't know what the hell they are doing

by slimboyfat in

another poster (dozy) mentioned this briefly on another thread, but i don't think anyone picked up on it and it deserves its own thread i think.

you know how there was a special announcement a few weeks ago saying that book study groups are stopping from january 2009?

well take a look at these comments in the new book ("keep yourselves in god's love") released at this year's conventions, under the heading "be obedient to those who are taking the lead" on page 48:.

were you told that you werent "spiritually mature"?

you were "acting worldly"?

you need to "rethink your association"?.

when i told my jc that i was suicidal (effect of wrongful df-ing), the chairman tony boyland said 'well other people seem to manage'

i can still hear those words.

and every time i do it breaks my heart

Then there was a short, stocky Scot with a gammy leg/foot.... can't remember his name.

jim fleming...

he phoned me once to say he had heard that i was making fun of his gammy leg and in the time honoured fashion of dont go to bed in a provoked state he thought it best to speak to me about it. i said excuse me but who told you this. he told me that it had been reported to him by danny hollis - who was in fact the actual teller of said joke (but who was going thru a breakdown at the time)

i then said that in the interest of being open and truthful let me tell you that i dont go round mocking your affliction but in all honesty i dont defend you much either and for this reason - i dont much care for you. you have stayed at my home, eaten my food, been treated to anniversary presents and nights at the theatre...and i absolutely don't expect anything in return - because i do this to a lot of people cos i can and i want to - but i don't expect you to see me in the assembly corridor and put your head down and shuffle past me.

he said i didnt see you but if i ever do that again feel free to kick me.

i resisted the urge to say well i would do but you've already got a gammy leg.

wish i had now...see that was my problem - always thinking before i spoke - got me into a pile of trouble.

Most Haunting Voices in Music

by stillajwexelder in

ok - so after a few threads in the last few days i started listening to some of my old music.

some artists just have voices that are hauntingly beautiful and stick with you forever.

for me - the top three are.
