drinking one's urine is not good for you. It is filled with the toxins that the kidneys have filtered out of your blood stream.

Hmmm then why did you tell us that you where 32?
Thank you for the support .... I am 32 years old, single, and i feel so lonely sometimes, i have seen this " spiritual " gilrs, leading a double life and then getting married with bethelites , after that they are saints :P yeah sure! Anyways, i dont like all the double standards, like this ex-elder who got married and after 2 years he came out of the closet (gay) ... Im so dissapointed about the boys in the organization!! They show to be one thing when they really are somthing else

How many current teachings have not been altered at all?
by Paralipomenon ina point in another thread about the organization being directed by holy spirit made me think of this question.. is there a single teaching from the start of the witnesses that remains unchanged to this day?.
i've spent a few minutes and haven't come up with a single current teaching that hasn't been altered somehow.. - initially there wasn't a paradise earth, all were going to heaven.
- door to door was more public protests.

hmm interesting ,What would Jesus think about these money changing/lending machines in God's house ?
[Jesus] made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
John 2:15

Why are Pantsuits not appropriate according to The Watchtower?
by VM44 inwhy do the jws consider pansuits worm by women not appropriate attire?.
pantsuits are considered appropriate attire in the conservative business world.. secretary of state hilary clinton wears pantsuits quite often.. would pantsuits be considered appropriate for a visit to bethel?
if someone showed up at bethel wearing them, would be be asked to leave?.

There are no written rules. The WT magazines are referenced to determine what a "Christian" would wear but no hard, fast rules are laid out. In a lot of conservative areas, the elders or older sisters will wield a lot of influence on the younger and newer sisters on what is acceptable or not.
if you search other threads here you will see how elders have used the type of underwear worn in their decision process in judicial committee meetings with reguards immorality. There is also a thread where an elder refused go to a wedding due to the fact the girl was noticed by him, wearing thong underwear while cleaning the kingdom hall .

I'm surprised they don't dictate what kind of underwear should be warn while on tour.
The scarey thing is they do. Women are not supposed to wear thong underwear
