Some of the rules we've seen over the years, some of which have been directed at us from time to time. We would just roll our eyes and say, WHATEVER
Two door cars, can't use them in the service
Too many gatherings - why they couldn't be called parties who knows
No wanking
Skirt length inspections by some over zealous elders
Various hair length inquisitions against the young brothers
Not enough gatherings
Having too much money
Too many autos
Too big a house
Too many vacations
Dangling earings or earings that were too large
No hose or panty hose, even in the heat of summer one CO told all the sisters he wouldn't work with them if they failed to wear hose in service. My wife told him to "get the hell out" of her car. Wish I'd seen it.
On and on and on... rules of the week keep on coming

The one who had the most influennce over the last two song books was Karl Klein. Very much a Salvation Army horn man. There was a fellow named Vern Duncombe (sic??) who was part of the last song book assemblge. Hece the umpa feeling of most of the songs. He was a Klein favorite.
There are some talented writers among the dubs, but generally they are kept on a tight leash. Folks we knew back when that were involved in the music arrangments
Tommy Mitchell , Drew Wasko, Ted Adams, Danny Baker, Harol Blanchard. Doug... forgot last name... from Florida some were, Mark Nevejans. Several of these guys were / are really talented. Perhaps if they were given more latitude the songs wouldn't be so mundane.

Recently certain Bethelites who were deemed at risk because of their weight have been required to engage in special exercise programs. These are programs that place during the regular work day and are not optional for those individuals. The word that came down was lose weight or go home.
A test program is underway using several target groups who will have regular one hour exercise programs tthree times a week as part of their Bethel service. The word from my Bethel healthcare contacts is that too many of the "family" are much to sedentary and something needs to be done to help them. Read that "e need to keep down health care costs."

Where's the beef?
by rockhound injehovahs witnesses look to their watchtower magazine each week for new light that would set the course for current "truth".
in looking back over the last 40 years of my association, "new lights" batteries ran out many times and had to be replaced with even newer ones.
some how this made sense to me at the time, but as time past, i began to wonder just how these "new light" articles could be called meat in due season.

What does the Society have against jeans?
by truthseeker inrarely will you find a picture of someone in the awake or watchtower wearing jeans.
even in there so-called paradise on earth illustrations, men can be doing dirty work in the farm, and be wearing slacks.. for example, in the november 15th wt entitled, "do you want to live forever?
", page 7 has another paradise illustration, which has to be one of the most socially-engineered pictures i have ever seen.. the caption, "love for god and neighbor will make living forever worthwhile".

The same as some of the other things recently being foisted upon the brethren:
Don't wear any kind of denim to the meetings.
Sisters at Bethel who work in public areas, i.e. lobbies, etc. must wear skirts never ever pants, even if they are doing manual type work. So I guess this means sisters picking apples must wear skirts while on ladders, as they are working in areas visible to the visiting dubs who might be offended. 'course we all know that this is an edict from Ted "J. Edgar" Jaracz the head of the Bethel CIA (aka Service Department) as he's afraid these sites will lead to a serious outbreak of wanking among the Bethel boys, and that would never do.
A long standing rule: Brothers at Bethel are not permitted to wear necklaces as this is a direct imitation of the homosexual community.
Bethelites are not to leave any Bethel home dressed to go in-line skating as this would be a major imitation of the world. If one absolutely must go skating, kindly hide that fact while in the vicinity of the Lord's house.
Should you have the desire to visit the Bethel facilities you must be dressed in appropriate meeting attire, never mind that you will be forced to walk your little feetsies off while taking in all the sites and passing contribution boxes at every turn.
