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.

On the contrary, the outline subsequently focuses on "effeminate traits … in one's bearing, body language and manner of speech" referring to such as "gender-blurring characteristics."

This is only superficially dealing with outward appearances. It is indeed an attack on the behaviors and identity of individuals who may or may not be gay, but are perceived to be by intrusive, overzealous elders who have now been given permission to go on a crusade against anyone that dresses, acts or talks in a way they don't like.

Again Oubliette, you are 100% correct. But still there are some, well ONE anyway, who insists that it is only about a dress code. I would bet that person either did or would make an EXCELLENT JDubya elder with that kind of stubborn refusal to understand the finer points of this discussion.

Ultimately, it's not critical of their clothes, it is critical of who they are.

EXACTLY! And yet there are some, well at least one, who insist that this topic is ONLY about clothing choices, and they assume that calling out WTB&T$ on their control issues is somehow self defeating.

I personally will not address them directly, as engaging in any debate with them is like engaging in a battle of wits with a half-wit. Totally pointless!

- 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?
