This might be when I get forcibly removed from the congregation because I still intend to put my arm around my wife and also children during prayer. They'll be reading my name off from the platform as "no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses" for not cooperating with lame-ass rules and regulations that don't have a damn thing to do with worshipping the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I hate them.
EDIT: Furthermore, how in the hell do you misinterpret, say, a child putting both of their arms around their parents' waist? How can somebody be stumbled by this? The text clearly indicates that while they won't outlaw "handholding", they still don't prefer it - based on the military style photograph in the corner. Still, even if you concede to them that husband/wife embraces are inappropriate (which is completely idiotic, but let's keep moving), how do you deny a ten year old boy from wrapping his arms around his mother or father? What then, pedophilia?
This is an example of an organization that is full of itself to the extreme and it's clear that they don't have anything else to do. I guess they've run out of false prophecies and inane eschatology.

So what would happen if you kissed your wife during a prayer and one elder saw you? If he came up to me, I would ask him where his second witness was. Then I would ask him why his eyes were open. Then, if I was feeling really lucky, I would ask him why he was looking over at my wife and me.
JW's are working for the debil!

AE is right it doesn't condemn holding hands. But as Jehovah is the third strand in marriage surely the other two parts of the cord have the right to entwine when in communication with him during public prayer.

Next there will be a rule about opening your eyes during prayer.
Reminds me of a former Catholic friend who told me he left the church after the priest told him he would sin against the blood of Christ if he even accidentally bit into the communion wafer..................
Didnt Jesus warn against this kind of stuff?

You never saw my PO's wife. A prohibition on feeling her boobs would be a blessing to all mankind.
