It was announced that it was inappropriate for sisters to wear 'cullotes' ...i mean just how much more 'modest' could you get than wearing cullotes which actually looked like I really full skirt??? ( you remember the style?)

i remember one time when i was about 17 years old, i wanted to arrange a costume party for the young brothers in the congo around my age.
i suggested it to one of my friends and was told that the elders had advised against it because it could be construed as pagan and masks have their roots in demonism.
of course, i was never shown any biblical proof of this but just that response took the wind out of my sails and i decided to just not go through with it.

Merry Christmas to everyone! From snowy UK
i've been looking in the watchtower library all morning and can't find anything.. i know that jws have this rule (is it unwritten??
) where a brother and a sister should not be left alone in a car, a house, or any private place.
but my jw father says it's not so, and he spent a part of yesterday installing a computer program at a jw couple's house while the man was at work and the wife was at home.
I used to take this JW rule to heart and alway's felt uncomfortable if I was alone with a guy...sigh!
You guys are soo funny!
me and hubby stopped attending around 2000, and for some strange reason i have stored all the books we were using at that time.
i am so tempted to light the barbeque ...and burn the lot...as it is soooo cccold here in the north west of england!
lol.

Thanks for your suggestions!

i am not the oldest but have 3 years here!
restrangled.. how about you?.
Latte checkin' in!
9 1/2 yrs...and still HAPPY!
Great to see some familiar names on the line up...hugs to you all!
ok....when i left i was bewildered.
i still strongly felt that a right and a wrong were what made people feel safe..and we needed that.
the following news article ...for me is beyond belief...it fills me with all sorts of feelings.. .
Thanks chickpea... what great job you do!
I guess some news items are just too hard to comprehend...hence very few comments...
I don't think I will look for God somehow...kinda had my fill I guess! I do miss there not being any moral guidelines...seems to me that really 'anything goes' in this world... these days. I have my own kids , and news items such as this make me see red.
If anyone had touched any of my children in an inappropriate way...God help you!
It is sooo devastating as you so pointed out. Keep up the good work Chickpea!

Could we be entering a Soddom and Gomorrah period of time? Should I begin looking for God ?
This is the second news article where a usually trusted woman has been found to be utterly untrustworthy.
I feel that I am beyond words….these were her OWN children!

I am so…so utterly disgusted in what some despicable humans can do to one another. ANY CHILD is bad enough! but HER OWN CHILDREN!!
