Back when cassettes were still in circulation, an acquaintance of mine at Bethel couldn't stand listening to Kingdom Melodies so he taped over the gaps on the top of the cassette that prevented erasing and taped Metallica songs he liked. Problem was he kept the tape on the Kingdom Melodies cassette and someone found it. When he got back to his room, they were going through all his possessions and he was sternly taken by his arm by a brother and kept under guard, forbidden from re-entering. They threw him out that night, all they gave him was his wallet and this babble on how he insulted Jehovah's house. He eventually got the rest of it back, but they must have really put his reputation through the ringer as no one would speak to him and the rumour about him by the time he got home was that he was involved with demons. Yeah they don't play around there, and if they want you out it's quick and efficient.

No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'
by wizzstick inin 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.

Ultimately this is going to be something the individual JW is going to have to see for themselves. No one can make these people change their dress codes and no media outlet besides the exJW ones are going to think that it's a newsworthy event that Jehovah's Witnesses have a policy against tight fitting and/or revealing clothing. As has been mentioned, this is a policy that is hardly exclusive to JWs. You can put the info out there, but for a gay or closeted JW to see the light and get out of the JWs, it's going to have to be something that makes them realise that JWs do not have the truth. I don't see many exits primarily based on 'why do I have to wear these silly clothes?'. Being indoctrinated to the point that you honestly believe that the GB has the exclusive channel of God and all these directives must be adhered to is the root issue. Once this is removed, then they can realize how silly it is for a religion to dictate what you can wear, and eventually that the Bible's anti-gay rhetoric originates with the cultural taboos of some desert nomads thousands of years ago. -

This just in - that strange American-based sect known as Jehovah's Witnesses hates gays. You can't be gay, nor can you adopt clothing styles that they discern as being 'gay'. If you despise homophobia, stay the hell away from those fuckers. If you are still in, think about how your own religion stigmatises and mistreats not only gays but people who dress and act differently than them, otherwise known as 'worldly' people. And I agree, let them have those rules. This is the 21st century. Homophobia is for the most part not acceptable in western countries and they are going to scare away any potential converts and the homophobia ingrained into the minds of the born-ins is going to get themselves rightfully ostracised. -

by umbertoecho ini don't know if this is already posted so sorry people if it is.
cedars site has had a request to take down the leaked letter regarding changes to the theocratic ministry school and other issues.. the reason given by wt is that it is a "copyright" issue.
of course this validates the letters authenticity even more.. have a good day or night people.

On a side note, you would think they would place a few control words in there that differ from several copies that were internally distributed so as to catch the source who is leaking. Perhaps they have already done so with this letter and have narrowed down their search. -

My opinion - Mismanagement. WTS has always been reticent about bringing in outsiders and exposing them to such confidential items as financial documents. Whatever educated JWs who were advising them on financial matters were in way over their head and the problem was discovered too late. I do agree that this is a symptom of a much larger problem that is related to their contraction policy of late, but it's hard to connect the dots on a notoriously penurious organisation being this far in the hole and it's all to do with falling donations. The sale of the Brooklyn properties should have been enough to at least keep them temporarily afloat. -

I thought about him when I went to Glasgow last month. Even if he didn't want to talk about anything JW-related, I'd imagine he'd have a few things to say about the SNP sweep of Labour earlier this year. Sorry about the referendum though. Take care.

So when her kid fools around in a grocery store and breaks stuff, they automatically claim phantom voices calling out of the evening using the N-word, and they ran into the store in fear. The only running that people do when they hear the N-word nowadays to toward the source in order to confront it.
Some mother. Evidently her children know how to manufacture fake hate stories in order to get out of trouble.

If she had fake cancer, perhaps she identifies with real cancer patients and so as a result we should just view her as she views herself - a cancer survivor.

What a quack. I read the part of where she contacted the police about the envelope delivered to the NAACP post box with threatening images of blacks with targets on them, pictures of actual lynchings, and pics of guns directed at the camera. Only problem ... in every postal jurisdiction on the planet, to postal workers cancel the stamps and there is usually some sort of marking indicating where the letter originated from. This envelope showed up with just the stamps. Police said the only people who could have done it were postal employees or anyone who had a key to the box. Absent some Nazi postal employee conspiracy (who would have had the ingenuity to conveniently mark the envelope to mask their trail), I'm going to say there's a pretty good chance that it came from her. What a sick f**k to pull such a stunt in order to drum up publicity!? And what a waste of police resources and huge liability to any organisation she is affiliated with. No one is saying she can't be an advocate. But putting on blackface and pulling off racist stunts for publicity is one good reason why this woman should be mopping floors.
