Married to the Mob

Apparently Blackberry Messenger, Twitter and Facebook are being used to co-ordinate the looting riots.

Lining up to kiss the bride is not allowed. Watchtower Question from Readers.

2. beliefs
many, if not all, of the witness weddings i attended in the last few years had the 'tradition' of the bride and groom and members of the wedding party lined up to greet the guests into the reception room.. it was also a faily common practice to kiss the bride.

congratulations and thanks were exchanged.

the usual pleasantries, thanks for coming etc.. well here is a quote i just found from the watchtower 15th may 1952 page 319-320, questions from readers.

@ziddina - How do you know she has left?
@junebug - as a worldly married to a witness if want to talk pm and I am more than happy to answer any questions. I will be honest that living with a witness is far from easy at times as many others have said but it really is your choice what you choose to do. However your fiancee choices at times will at times be far from his own and more in line with that of the society even if it is not what would you would expect from him.
Please consider what is best for you and your child but remember you are always welcome here

Ont Guy - If it is getting you angry you should walk away but that might not be possible so just think about them sat on the throne with case of the big D!

Anony Mous - you have a very valid point in that they can feel better lording it over other in a small closed group because there is less chance they are going to get trumped! BUT, how does that help them? All it does it make them similar to ron burgundy from anchorman when he announces he's kinda a big deal!!
I should point out that that its not about the money or the name but more how it looks. an armani suit is great but if it doesn't fit you and makes you look like a greasy second hand car salesman then it aint working!
As for dropping money and it getting you somewhere that is common to all walks of life be it inside or outside the WBTS but remember that whilst money talks, talent walks!

I wouldn't waste your time! They are more than capable of doing that on their own!

Thanks for the enlightenment mouthy, but I am a little at a loss as to how one can be snobby and elitist when your dressed no better and have no more privelige than the brother next to you. Not everyone can be an ms or an elder!
Delusions of grandure?
If its a case of they are lording it over their job, business etc, well isn't that just pride? And we all know what pride comes before.........

Mary, As a worldly person I can't really comment on how the cong behaves as I only go to memorials and they have given up on lovebombing me! But I have made the following observations!
Someone seriously needs to take the elders, nay the whole male congratation to a decent tailor! Bad fitting suits, poor quality and as for the shoes well there is not much hope.
I have not even started on the ties.
There is occasionally the odd exception but it is a rare event!
If these lot are snobby and elitist then I am big trouble! My wife calls me a snob but I call it standards!
Suits - Tailored or a decent name that has shape and fit and doesn't look like a square box.
Shoe - Churches, Loakes, boss or a baker but leather soles and properly sized.
Shirts - no buttons on the collar and no pockets on the chest plus french cuffs.
Tie- Double windsor knot.
As for the rides I have seen a couple of benz but nothing special and most of them seem to be drive cheap american cars or toyotas with the camry being the car of choice! I suppose they don't suffer from insomnia!
