so what silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?.
back in my early 20's, i had a pair of comfy old jeans that started to tear in about 3 places on the leg.
it was the fashion at the time so not only did they feel great to wear, they also looked 'in', not that i cared for that, but it was a bonus .
Just heard of a new one:
A JW sister had to rush from work to make a JW funeral, she had no time to go home and change. She was dressed well, only thing was that she had slacks on (no skirt/dress). An elder after the service had to come up to her and tell her that her attire was not acceptable in the KH!
Such loving counsel during someones funeral Can't we all feel the love....

3Mozzies Hello from Australia :)
i was almost as worried as if i was giving a talk instead of my wife last night.
i parked and they went in well before me.
i gathered my thoughts and realized that it was only proper that way.
Thank you for sharing SD-7, I really enjoy your posts.
I think perhaps the agnostic in me wondered why we meet in buildings and bow our heads to a being that we have never seen or heard and that indeed no one has heard from theoretically in 2,000 years--back before people even knew bacteria existed.
...socializing with Witnesses was something I mostly avoided even when I was one. I think the burden of having to do it again, of being afraid to talk about whatever's in my head knowing it'll be judged if not in line with 'Jehovah's standards', all that...it wasn't worth it then, and it's not now.
I feel the same, I almost feel sick when I am with any Hard-Core JW, they can say & be who they want to be, yet I am not allowed the same privilege without them judging me instantly for thinking 'worldly' and being 'bad association'.

Welcome Totally ADD
Isn't it just amazing when our mind opens up and we see things so clearly yet we wonder: "Why didn't I leave earlier?"
Looking forward to your experiences.

is this an occurrence in the 21st century?
I feel the world is to sick to ever heal itself.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Moshe - So damn true, they screw the JWs hard and yet the R&F continue to take it all as you said "without one iota of proof" This still gets me to this day, when I have shown certain ones proof that discredits them (586/7 BC) they just don't care! The mind boggles
Retrovirus - Excellent, I was trying to work out how to add something like that yet my brain was blank. Love it.
GLTirebiter - Another great one, thanks, why couldn't I think of these?
