Horrible conduct by congregation Elders at my cousin's funeral.............

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

my cousin passed away last week from cancer at the age of 49. the cancer spread so fast it took our family by surpise.

we figured she had a couple of years instead of months.

she left 4 children(3 were baptised and 1 was disfellowshipped a couple of years ago).

That is just disgusting! No way in hell I would have put up with that treatment.

If anyone had tried that at my dad's funeral I would have shocked everyone by kicking the asshole elders out the door.

Please tell your cousin's son I am sorry that he was unable to pay his respects to his MOTHER like everyone else.

Who the hell gave them the right to do that? Ooh, this infuriates me.

My mom is still in. Her DA'd daughter (me), her DF's lesbian daughter and her never baptized son WILL be sitting in front and holding our heads high. I pity anyone who will tell us different.

Crazy mofo's.

no dark colored dress shirts).do not wear bright colored suits or suits with more than one color (not including pin stripes).tie should not be bright colored or have too many colors.pants should have cuffs (this was recommended, not a rule).suit jacket must be buttoned up at all times (although you may wait until you begin speaking to button up your jacket).never put your hand in your pocket, even for one second.legs must be close together (his exact words were "do not have a horse stance").heels must be together but toes should be slightly apartif you are holding a microphone, the microphone must be point just above the chin, not at the mouth.if you are holding a microphone, do not put the other hand in your pocket (i cannot stress this enough, they will get you for this).do not lean on the lectern (podium, pulpit).whew!

strict dress-code guidelines straight from the presiding overseer.

I really think dress codes change based on the hall you are in.

For example, in Utah it was common for sisters to go in service in denim skirts and sweaters or nice t shirts. Visualize Pentecostals. Minimal make up and simple hair do's.

But in Tennessee the sisters wear nice skirts, knee length but usually longer, blouses, hose and pumps, or sandals in the summer. And hair nicely done with make up perfectly applied. And jewelry out the wazoo!Can you imagine the dresses at meetings?

We went to church with our kids and most of the women wore nice slacks and pretty sweaters or blouses. Much easier and nicer in the cold, and juggling babies!

We are just starting to get it. It's been rainy all day, but just now starting to freeze. I could barely open my mailbox, it was frozen shut!

When you meet witnesses you know on the street...

...do you greet them, just to make them feel uncomfortable?.

i'm thinking i may even give them a hug to give them some of "the devils spirit", but maybe that's too evil.

momzcrazy

At my previous job, at a liquor store, I saw alot of Witnesses. I treated them as though I knew them and greeted them that way. Small talk, what have you. I'm not ashamed and I don't play by their rules. I am civil to anyone civil to me. I haven't had anything bad happen.
