Thank you OneEyedJoe,
He began the talk saying he was going to back it up with scripture. That is why I wondered exactly what scripture!
just wondering if any one has heard from ones still asleep, what their feedback has been and what comments have been made by the rank and file??.

Were ANY scriptures given to back up the parts that are now being made fun of?
Specifically, the tight pants, colored socks and spanx?
i love celebrating something with goodness at its' true core, even christmas.
some would condemn me for this but that is their concern, not mine.. i think satan is real and i think father christmas and santa claus are like satan's claws at this time of year 'coz we all go bonkers and buy everything in site and overdo things totally.
but that's not christmas to me.
WTWizard,
What good advice for a long successful life in general.
Thank you.
haven't contributed much here in a while.
it's not modest and it's certainly not sound of mind.
you be spiritual man enough to tell these young fellows 'you don't go out in the ministry looking like that.
Question.
Were there ANY scriptures used to back up the
colored socks
tight pants
spanx
if your kids leave - its your fault?
for a religious group that has become more and more reader's digest vapid across recent decades, whose ability to defend its doctrines and policies depends on punishing independent thinking and whose meetings are sleep inducing snooze-fests, a talk about sexy clothes is about as desperately arousing as it can get without unzipping one's pants.. but among those who know the religious organization behind tony morris's attention-grabbing address to the faithful, this is anything but surprising.
when you've harped on for long, unforgiving decades about the nearness of the end, whilst simultaneously shoring up treasures on earth - some ear-marked for completion in 2017 - expect even your more loyal followers to shuffle their tired, bedraggled feet and barely stifle forceful yawns.
hell, they may even contemplate tighter fitting clothes because all else is miserably bland - except for the razzle-dazzle of an alluring, colorful world intent on arousing you out of your sad slumber.. so these self-appointed emperors or governing body member focus on anything that threatens a straying spirit.
Good analogy Steve.
The Emperors New Clothes is perfect!
i find it curious that so many are offended at the comments used by anthony morris iii.. when he publicly states that colourful socks, tight pants and spanx are not part of a christians life, he is teaching a lesson.
the lesson for the flock is not to wear colourful socks, tight pants and spanx.. however,.
the lesson to all the congregation elders is to ensure that these lessons are driven home in their respective congregations.
this raises a good point I hadnt thought of...
I wonder how elders feel about this talk he gave?
Any elders here that can comment on that?
the news stated this week that blue jeans are not fashionable any longer.
a fad that got started as a working mans pants is being replaced by yoga pants.
or, sweat pants.
Those pants
argh!
Its Hammer Time!

I suspect you are right Legacy.
NO one is going to admit that the meeting was a 3 hour bust.
After all, how would that sound?

What are people saying they liked about it?
I dont have Facebook so I dont know and believe me....
I CANT imagine what anyone actually liked about it....

I love hearing this Balaam.
I know my family are diehards - they would be the last man out for sure...
but I am glad to hear what others are getting as feedback.
I was reading over on a pro JW site and one person said they didnt think this was much for a big meeting and there was not any verbal support but no one could say the poster was wrong either!
For a fair sized website its got very little posts on the subject.
