What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

    Not to question the brother's off the cuff comments regarding the text reading at the field service meeting. She was an elder's wife but couldn't have children, which somehow gave her license to criticize me endlessly. She did take me out once to show me how her office cleaning night job was done. So I could pioneer and support myself and hate my life, yay! One of the truly sad individuals I grew up around.

    Seriously? Ankle bracelets on women?
    Sounds like a dipshlt named Prouton. From the ASSembly platform he went on a rant about sisters wearing ankle bracelets concluding with this bit of asswiperery, "Whenever I see a sister with an ankle bracelet my first thought is 'tinkle, tinkle, here comes Jezebel!
    Lol!!! So he considers them Queenly, royal, yes? Jezebel was a Queen (albeit an evil one), not a prostitute. Now Rahab, King David's great gramps & Christ's ancestress, was a prostitute. Maybe he meant to say Rahab.

    not to go to the pub in the middle of the meeting if your bored

    That reminds me, I once went to the pub with a mate in the middle of a quick build. Came back two hours later after being on the double vodka-and-cokes.

    I accepted the counsel and, looking back, I guess I was a bit out of order.

    My older brother who is a prudish die-hard JW and his just-as-prudish JW wife got bent way out of shape because, while at a gathering at a couple's house, I made a comment about their dog's nipples. You would've thought that I said the F-word. I asked, "What's wrong?". My brother responded, "You said 'nipple'".
    I asked him, "Since when is nipple a bad word?". He and his wife covered their ears and made sounds to drown out the word 'nipple'. "Argh! NO! You said it again. Stop saying 'nipple'!".

    By the way, how do I highlight text that I'm pasting? Thanks!

    After fading for a couple of years I get a call from a brother asking me if the following rumor was true "We heard that you and your boys are watching pornography together, is it true?"

    My response,...

    "It certainly is not true!!!! You people think that a person has to have some insidious vice to be the reason to leave the organization. You don't think that there is a valid reason to leave. You think that everyone that leaves is into SEX, DRUGS or ROCK AND ROLL if they leave!!"

    I go on to ask "Live action is not considered porn,.. right?"

    We were told by a crazy right wing elder that we couldn't use heating at hall due to society worried about greenhouse affect.

    I am so happy that this thread has been revived!

    Keep sharing your accounts!

    I have lost count of the times witnesses were "counselled" for buying 2-door cars...because they "are not appropriate for Service"

    I was told by my study conductor when studying as a young man that having a beard is equivalent to a man having long hair; and the bible condemns men for having long hair?????
