  I remember how one sister used to let my mother drive her car. My mother is terrified of driving. She went the wrong direction and yelled "OH SHIT!" out loud in the car. Priceless! Oh, and the time she rammed into the parked car behind her.
  
  I remember the time she told me about how she stopped in the middle of the intersection because the light turned yellow. Just stopped and said to herself, "what do I do?"

  Can a Woman be DFd for wearing a pantsuit to meetings?

  by LovesDubs in

  im wondering if they are still so tight assed in the organization as to make issue with such matters that they would df a woman who preferred to wear pants to dresses but still came to the hall.

  do you think they wouldnt allow her to enter after awhile?

  i wore a skort once and gave a talk back in like, 1986 and was soundly reprimanded for wearing apparel that was "masculine and improper for sisters to be wearing".

  We had a woman in our hall who wore pants that looked like something MC Hammer would wear. At a quick look, you couldn't tell they were pants. She wore them multiple times to the meetings. And that witch had the nerve to tell me not to use the Kingdom Hall chair piping as garbage receptacles :D

  I see this primarly as a way to prevent loss of members. The more members they have, the more donations come in.

  Venting about new BS arrangement

  when i was a teenager (especially when i wanted out of the org) i made up excuses to miss the meetings.

  i always made sure i brought home lots of notebooks, textbooks, etc so it looked like i had a load of homework to do on meeting nights.

  i sat on my bed doing my homework (or writing in my journal) just to get out of another night at the meeting (this didn't work on sunday).

I always made sure I brought home lots of notebooks, textbooks, etc so it looked like I had a load of homework to do on meeting nights. I sat on my bed doing my homework (or writing in my journal) just to get out of another night at the meeting (this didn't work on Sunday). I desperately needed relief from the burden a typical JW must carry.
  
  Now, they've eliminated one of those nights, and it kinda pisses me off.
  
  I was in for 13 years which means I wasted somewhere around 676 hours at the bookstudy (or faking having homework). Put them alltogether, and that's 28 days. That may not seem like much, but for someone who's been in the org for 40 years, it would come out to 86 days or roughly 3 months. And that's just for the one hour bookstudy, nevermind the time it takes to get dressed for it, drive there, socializing afterward, and driving home.
  
  Just thinking about all that wasted time pisses me off. And even though the entire JW experience was a waste of time, the fact that they NOW decide to eliminate the BS makes it seem more like a complete waste.
