  No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'

  by wizzstick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Simon, I think you're missing the point.

  Both the language and the intent of the letter are disturbing for their vagueness.

  Who determines what are "effeminate characteristics" and how? What is the standard?

  Correspondingly, what is a "masculine hairstyle or type of dress" in reference to women?

  Who gets to determine if a man has "effeminate traits" in the "bearing, body language … [or] speech"?

  How "tight" it too tight?

  How "extreme" is too extreme?

  This is just going to encourage the already overly intrusive elders to become even more obsessed over things that frankly should be none of their business.

  On the other hand, it is yet even more evidence of the overly critical nature of this cult. It's control freakery on steroids.

  "Asia, East Africa, and the Middle East."

  Significant. Troubling. But not "global."

  JWs see the world through the tainted lenses of shit-colored glasses.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  No longer qualifies to share in the ministry?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. beliefs

  i heard that co's were provided with a talk outline in which people who dress and act too "gay" could eventually "no longer qualify to share in the ministry", should they not change the way they look!.

  has anyone else ever heard of any other reason for which someone would be disqualified from the ministry?.

  Who would you like to hear of leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses ?

  by wozza in

  2. friends

  i'll start off with this one:.

  some years ago when i was formulating my exit, i employed for some time an ms brother from another congregation.. i'd had a couple of young "worldly" lads work for me but they proved unreliable as they used drugs or alchohol and consequently would'nt arrive at work and such like.. so when i was was contacted by this brother and spoke to him and heard he'd worked at the australian bethel for some time on construction and wanted an opportunity to learn the trade of bricklaying ,i thought ,"great someone to finally trust and be reliable".

  he was in his 40's at the time and he worked like a trojan ,was honest ,really likeable and interesting ,could play the classical guitar beautifully ,had a beautiful family.

  Generally, I'd like to hear of everyone leaving this fucking cult.

  But in particular, I really wish my two adult children would smarten up and realize that they are in a sham of a religion that only takes and never gives anything but empty promises and deceptions.

  Everyone else can stay in it for all I care. Honestly, at some point we all have to face the fact that any adult without severe cognitive deficiencies that has been in this religion more than a few years and still can't see that it is nothing but lies and hypocrisy deserves whatever they get.

  Jan 2016 study WT attempt to keep control of professed anointed ones, brainwashing in action!

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. beliefs

  a really great example of wt pulling doctrine out of their heiney that nowhere exists in the scriptures!

  when i started waking up to ttatt, i remember in my own reading the tons of scriptures that speak of god, the holy spirit, etc teaching directly.

  tons of scriptures that go against the wt doctrine of only able to learn through them.

  Please quit trying to make sense out of nonsense.

  The Bible is a collection of internally incoherent beliefs and contradictory teachings.
