    Over the years, I've hotly debated the beard rule.

    In a priceless discussion some years ago, someone with great exuberance asks me " . . . do you think Jehovah would want you to grow a beard????!!!!!"

    to which my equally emphatic response was "are you JOKING? If Jehovah didn't want me to have a beard, HE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ONE GROW ON MY FRIGGIN FACE"

    In regards to dress code folks. Remember this, " if you were invited to dinner at the White House , would you not wear your best. You are in the house of the most high, you should dress appropriately. Wonder if a tuxedo is acceptable.

    For sisters if your being raped call out Jehovahs name and make sure you scream. (If you dont scream you will be DFed) I told this to my wife and she said that is really BS. If my wife was in that that situation it would be a douple tap in the heart and two in the head. Then she will call 911. She is really good with her Sig Sauer.

    In France I've seen elders with moustaches but never with beards.

    When I was counselled about holding hands with my fiancee, the elder compared that to wearing a beard. It's not clearly written in the Bible, but it doesn't make it OK....

    I think having to wear a jacket whatever the weather when passing the mics is probably one of the crappiest rules.

    No getting an education.

    No beards for men.

    You must never mention any negative experience you've had with other jws or congregations.
