No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'

by wizzstick in

in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?

)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.

wow.

- Brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up

Many posters have strayed somewhat from the spirit of what is written in this leaked information, if it is in fact accurate. The above quote shows the entire thrust of the information is all about CONTROL and outward personal appearence, and only minimally about clothing styles.

As I stated in a earlier post a circuit oversneer named Henry Turner was one of the most effeminate acting men I have ever met in the (B)Org. Even most women in the cong. were of the same opinion. Yet considering his upbringing it was understandable that he had those mannerisms and speech habits. So does he have to change his personality? Will he be kicked to the curb? This has little to do with clothing choices and much to do with control. How can people not understand that?

I'd like to hear Henry Turner say this. He is as effeminate a man as I have ever had to suffer listening to. Last know to be in California, of course.

If there is anything to bible prophecy, keep an eye out on Israel

by EndofMysteries in

what will be the end game whether in a few years, our lifetime, or hundreds + years from now.

bible prophecy did say israel / jews would be scattered then eventually brought back.

russell was declaring that and it was believed before being changed shortly before it happened.

Ah, I see our resident PMSer is here, right on schedule!

Beaten, stoned, or disfellowshipped. What is the difference?

Another Resolution

has anyone on the board been at the recent meeting where they are asking for more money to help out the co's, insurance and health and travel??

this is supposed to go into a general fund???

they can use it for anything they want..... oh, and also, if you can give more, it would help as many congregations may not be able to give - based on number of pubs in each cong.

OneFingerSalute

It was passed unanimously in our congregation as well, no one dares not to -- no one dissented can you imagine the feedback to not put your hand up.

Here they NEVER ask anything other than, "All in favor?" Then the next thing out of their pie-hole is "Okay, it looks unanimous."

Idiots!

Exactly! The way it was read where I am it sounded a lot like that general account would be used for things like. . .um . . . lawsuits.

It was passed unanimously, even though some of the hands in the air were kids not yet in school, and I sat with a steady stare into the eyes of the eldurr reading it and purposely crossed my arms in front of myself when he asked "in favor?"

How to?

by OneFingerSalute in

i cannot use the "quote" feature.. if i click on the quote marks it does the hi-lite of the quote i wish, but i cannot under any circumstances get out of the yellow quote box to create my own post.. i would like to know how other posters are able to do this.

i use both ie and firefox.

the same thing happens in both of them.. also hi-liting no longer works as it used to.

OneFingerSalute

So, you:
- paste the quote,
- hit enter button,
- mark lowest line with a period,
- go back up and drag mouse across desired text (while holding left button).
- After that, click the "quotation mark" button in the tool bar above.

Thank you to all who replied!

It works. And I didn't even have to be told, "Well brother, you need to go home and do personal study then meditate and pray about how to make quotes. Then wait on Jehovah to reveal that information to you in good time."

Any ideas?

Family fun

by redvip2000 in

went to over to family gathering at a cousin's home in upstate ny over the weekend.

in the late afternoon, several bet-hell constructions workers arrived (some family, others just friends), after a nice day of slavery at the construction site.

endless bragging ensued while we gathered around a bonfire, from how "the construction is going forward in seamless way", using "the best techniques and materials in construction" to the fact that the obama care website doesn't work properly and how it's "complete garbage when compared to the jw.org.".

I noticed too that when the Sunday video was to be shown all that came up was the "temporarily unavailable. Check back later" error message. I started laughing out loud when three or four tries didn't work. When I was asked afterwards what I thought was so funny I said, "The un-useable video from JDubya dot org just gave me a sudden mental picture of Jehovah's Chariot coming to a screeching halt."

"If you are teaching intolerance, we WILL shut you down!" English Prime Minister David Cameron

by stuckinarut2 in

the prime minister of england made the above statement yesterday regarding any schools that influence youths in a negative manner.. he went on to say that if youths are influenced in a negative manner regarding religious teachings that promote judgement of others (including same sex relationships, etc ) or that look down on other peoples free choice, the government would take action.. i cant find a newspaper article sorry...i just heard it on the radio news.... very interesting though...it may have a bearing on how those who learn ttatt are treated by the organization??

In my experience the most intolerant people are those who have their version of tolerance disagreed with.
