  New rules for dress & greeting disfellowshipped: It's even worse!

  by neat blue dog in

  i know they're panicking and trying to gain favor with governments, former members, prospective converts & those who are teetering, all for financial worries.

  still, the latest update in some ways made things worse, and if there's any jws watching it who are beginning to wake up it should be very disturbing.. starting with dress codes: they say that suits, ties & skirts are no longer required, but in so doing they admit that they were required, something not often appearing as an explicit command in print.

  (similar to how lett referred to the "policy on beards" in his video, even though this direct policy wasn't made available to rank and file.

  Howzabout a spare tie and jacket and a velcro looong wrap skirt in the back room. Just in case.

  Locally the last 3 elders with any sense died so theclowns run the show now.

  Bigger changes coming? I think these things are sleight of hand to keep the sheeple from noticing something else.

  As for committees they are still most times kangaroo courts. The"shepherding" calls will be fishing expeditions. Very few who have been through the"loving"privision will welcome a visit at 6 months

  Rat

  Goodwill polyester suits and ties are not dressed up. They are joke among the world.

  The standard should be business attire

  Local standards? Bank tellers? TV news---the anchor or the idiot standing out in the blizzard. BTW what are chinos? Polyester pants unsuitable for dress up but not work?

  Of course these are the guys who work on cars in a necktie and play volleyball in suits

  someone else posted something a similar experience, this is one i had regarding my mom.my mom died last year.

  she had been in failing health for years, but the last 2 year were pretty rough for her, with lots of visits to the hospital.

  the last 4 months, it was the hospital, a skilled nursing facility/rehab unit, and finally, a nursing home.

  Elfdalian - a minority language spoken in Sweden

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  just found an interesting little video (älvdalska förklarad = 'elfdalian explained').. elfdalian is a separate language spoken in dalarna, sweden by a few thousand people.. in swedish, the letter w is rarely used, and when it is it is pronounced as v. but elfdalian has w and it's pronounced just like english w. so, 'white' is vit in swedish, but wait in elfdalian, pronounced like english white.. elfdalian also has the letter ð, ð, which features not in swedish but in icelandic and faeroese.

  how cool is that?!.
