Well, when I was over in Italy and Greece and went to meetings there, ALL women were in long skirts or dresses. Even going out on the town, most of them wore skirts and dresses...pants were frowned upon by the older generation (their parents). But, whenever they could, the women would sneak out wearing pants.
It comes down to regional norms, and almost nothing to do with what the WTS says...even though some gun-ho elders in specific congregations may try to enforce what the WTS says.
Just my two cents worth,

Some thoughts on the "library card" d...
by Trevor Scott inwith its "library card" defense, the wts tries very hard to minimize the significance of their relationship with the un.
according to the wts, this was actually a very trivial association, analogous to obtaining a library card - something very non-political, and something most of their members will relate to (as library card holders) and view as quite innocuous.
most jws will have no difficulty dismissing this completely out of hand.. also, without actually lying about it, the wts implies that the "criteria for association" changed.

"freedom to change his religion"

DA'd myself today
by Pierced Angel inwell, i did it.. it's official and i'm relieved.. the elders wanted to try talking to me once again, but after awhile it was obvious that they were only interested in changing my thoughts not answering any questions.
so, i just calmly asked if i could disassociate myself.
they acted stunned and they got tears in their eyes, but i told them that i had already grieved and was ready to move on with life.

Here's hoping,

Hello, Hello Kitty!
Welcome to our boards...where differing opinions are (for the most part) welcome...and not silenced...very much unlike the WTS.
I understand that you want to keep your identity a secret since you're still a JW...a few of us here in these boards (myself included) are also officially still in good standing with the WTS.
Why not get yourself an anonymous Hotmail e-mail address you can post in your profile?
By the way, which country R U in?
Chat with you later,

Positive Name For ExJWs...?
by ISP ini don't like the word apostate.......because it simply is not the case in so many cases.
i think the term 'truthseeker' would be better and quite annoying to jws who think they are!.
come on you truthseekers!.

Wow...I'm stunned...I didn't think U were that close to finally making it official and coming out (sorry guys...not that kind of coming out!)...it took a lot of courage though! [:-)]
Lots of hugs from me Angel!

Apostacy!!!
by Bill Parker ini intend to show with this article that the man of lawlessness is the anti-christ and that the activity of this composite person is what constitutes the abomination of desolation.
this shows the anti-christ and the man of lawlessness to be one and the same composite person.
we have seen that the anti-christ exalts himself {not appointed by god} then we learned that the man of lawlessness takes his seat in the temple of god.

Hey Pettygrudger,
I read & re-read Bill's comments...and I still can't see how you got the sense that Bill believes that the JW cult is the alleged "truth".
Bill is humble enough to remember 1 Cor. 8:2...but the WTS sure isn't. They keep elevating themselves up high over all mankind.
Keep up the good work Bill!

I'm bringing this back to the top...because although the article Bill wrote is lengthy...it's also (in my humble opinion) very good!
