Here's an example of a "Dorothy Dixer"* I found in my spam folder today:
Ties during meetings are only required in certain parts of the world where it is the normal standard. Women can wear trousers whenever it is appropriate. Men can wear skirts if that is the local custom. Most brothers in Fiji wear skirts to the meetings. If that is the standard for your area, then thatβs fine. Many women are on construction where it is a requirement to wear trousers. Any casual time is fine too. The key is decency and modesty. Disregard Ex JW rants. They are usually Ex JWs because they donβt listen to what is taught. They choose to disregard the advice from the scriptures which is purely about decency and modesty and think their own standards are all that matter. They have left of their own accord. Nobody gets disfellowshipped for not wearing a tie.
Any men willing to wear a skirt to the Kingdom Hall? π
* A Dorothy Dixer is a question asked by a backbencher MP on the government's side in the Australian Parliament during Question Time. It is used as a platform for the Govt Minister to brag about how great the government is, and how well they are doing. π
