    Aren't women in FS teaching others?

    The teaching in the WTS case is teaching baptized people in the congregation. That is why though they have convoluted rules if a baptized brother is along on a study.

    They also cite that Priscilla (Aquila's wife) taught Apollos before he was baptized. Acts 18:26

    Isn't it also true (via WT logic) that no woman can perform any sort of public "teaching" if a baptized male happens to be present? So exactly WHO is the head covering supposed to be for, anyway?

    No Teaching - except, of course, for "training excercises" in the KM school or being in some sort of skit during an assembly.

    Actually, JWoods, several older jw sisters brought just that point out that their "talks" and "demos" were teaching.

    JWoods,

    They'll use sisters if they need to teach the brothers a lesson. Look at a thread I started I think called "ALllTimeJeff- When you get a minute, your take on this would be appreciated."

    I don't know how to make this clickable.

    ...just focus on her hands.

    Soooo - that is one of those infamous "sun dresses" which were banned from the conventions...

    In the fullness of time Sisters will be required to wear the full Burka.

    As you can see I always cover my head when criticising the Godless Watchtower Bible & Tract Society.

    I wonder if some crumpled aluminum foil would be appropriate for this purpose?

    Or some leather chaps?

    JWoods,

    Silly, aluminum foil is only good for repelling aliens.

    Just noticed this on a video of a JW deaf convention on jwbrothers.org.

    http://www.jwbrothers.org/play.php?vid=1470

    Towards the end are shown interepreters for deaf/blind. The women interpreting are wearing headcoverings. So, apparently, this has been in place since at least the convention.
