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.
"""Over on JW Survey, there's a great leak regarding tight pants from a new CO outline for their meeting with the elders during congregation visits.""""
Love your choice of words here of course ! I guess the outline could not contain itself any longer !!! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol !
so, if lying or being deliberately misleading is a "disfellowshipping" offence, why haven't the brothers who lied to the australian royal commission been brought before a judicial committee?
?.
if so why?

sorry to be so blunt, but you only have yourself to blame if you realize something is wrong but allow your cognitive dissonance to kick in.
if you are confronted with facts which are reported by reliable sources which are hard to dispute and deny, and you choose to dismiss these as "apostate lies" rather than looking at these from an objective point of view, it's your fault and you deserve the consequences of willful ignorance!.
Divergent - Respectfully.... your comments betray a lack of understanding of Cognitive Dissonance and the associated Psychology of the mind attached to that and - are without doubt a little too heavy to put it mildly - -
While its true that ultimately only we individually can change our position / situation in life - the person locked in by his CD at any point in time cannot see that otherwise he would not be in the situation he is in.
Please bear in mind that many of us here have been along some difficult paths in life. Some are here to find solace - some bear the scars and wounds of severe trauma in life - eg the loss of their own children etc
Regards.

i remember hearing the sounds of the train horn blowing on january 1st 2015 and remembering, "another year and no armagedon".
and i was so disappointed.
i hated to hear that train whistle blow.
LevelThePlayingField the effect for me is the same - Its liberating piece of music that I have to confess [ and I am a "tough" guy ] gets me choked up at times - I see in that train humans striving - struggling with their proverbial torture stakes - I also see the "worldly ...doomed....people " who everyday all bloody-well getting off their derrieres and striving to make a difference in the world and in the lives of their fellowman - while JW.CULT does sweet Fanny Adams ! ..."Oh we just wait for the Big Guy to press the big red button of Doom - solve the problems in one Big Genocide "
Stay well !

LevelThePlayingField / Beth Sarim - Listen to this music by Pat Metheny - Its a wonderful metaphor about life's struggles and strivings:

pandemonium broke out at the headquarters of the watchtower bible and track society as hundreds of former bethel workers protested being released from their assignments and told to vacate the premises.
the governing body members barely escaped the wrath of the mob, some without the shirt on their backs.
