You've got a really flimsy and shallow knowledge of JW culture or beliefs (and the bible itself) which when mixed with genteel self-righteousness is a comboniation that generally all of us here at the forum hates.

Looking for a certain image
by magotan inhey, i'm looking for a certain image.
it's one of the more dopey series of images from about five years ago.
about a "sister" who goes off the rails and she gets counseled and she's dressing all "immodestly" which is really just a streak of color in her hair.

What is the monthly stipend that the bethelites receive every month?
by StephaneLaliberte inwhat is the monthly stipend that the bethelites receive every month?
does any one has an actual number?

It's like $45. It's insulting and does absolutely nothing for such an expensive city like nyc
Bethelites finance themselves from either savings, or parents/friends sending them money from home. Or they do work under the table. (Rare)

Then she's trying to study and get back and she has a baby and her unbelieving "husband" is on the couch passed out.
thanks in advance; i know I've seen them here a few days ago but I can't remember where

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.

People on the outside will care, body and behavior policing is not the thing to do these days. -

Like I said, it's not a dress code issue. It's a behavior policing issue. Young men and women are always thrown to the wolves, and locked out of social circles, or platform assignments and told they aren't trying hard enough when they're doing their best because of some arbitrary gauge of masculinity or femininity. It's very much cult like; everyone is to act and look the same. -

It's another way that the GB uses control to make people fall in line.
its a serious issue, maybe not as big as pedophiles or blood ban, but a very big issue nonetheless.

Simon, i think you're off base, and I generally only lurk on this site and I literally logged in after a year to comment
- growing up queer/gay, I often was policed on not only how I dressed, but how I walked, talked, and acted. I did not intentionally act more feminine or masculine, but I simply did things that the JW's considered "feminine". This meant that despite any sort of "spiritual qualifications" i still was passed over for assignments, and had limited contact with other members of the congregation because of the PERCEPTION of my sexuality due to my mannerisms.
It ruined my teens and made me feel like I was not enough and made me hate myself.
Its more than clothes, in fact, it's not about clothes at all. It's about image, and it's about control. Clothing isn't the big deal. Policing someone's being is.
