My wife and I had to laugh when we saw that Awake cover.
The idea that Witnesses are slaves to fashion just seemed too ridiculous - overweight elder's wives in sacks, badly fitting polyester
suits, hairpieces that look like roadkill, etc. Maybe things are different in California but most Witlesses I know need lessons in
fashion.

The thing about this question is this: You can be a so-called "slave" to today's fashion, or you can be a slave to YESTERDAY'S fashion; or DAY-BEFORE-YESTERDAY'S fashion; but you're going to be a slave to SOME day's fashion unless you go naked. Where do you draw the line? How much like the Amish do you have to be? No zippers? Buttons only? Hell, that could get you in trouble; you can't HEAR buttons you know. This argument is circular; it has no end. When you bounce out of your house dressed up like C.T. Russell are you welcomed to go door-to-door, or no?
If you're dressed like Da Judge, are you welcomed? Prolly not.
How 'bout if you're dressed like Fritz Franz? Nope. Still too out of date?
We can wear clothing as long as it's not TODAY'S CLOTHING? How stupid is that?
How far back do we have to go, then?
So who is going to be the arbiter of what's OK to wear?
And MOST important of all: where in scripture is there the authority to set up a congregational clothing gestapo? WHERE?
And while we're at it: where is the scriptural authority to set up a facial hair gestapo? A hemline gestapo? A steel-rimmed glasses gestapo? A wide tie gestapo? A YOU NAME IT GESTAPO? (HINT: THERE AIN'T NO DAMNED SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY.) When pressed, they say, "It's not scriptural, it's hierarchical." FINE. Now show me where in scripture you get to ride roughshod over my scriptural rights and my bible-trained conscience with your hierarchical rules and regulations? What? Speak up! NO ANSWER FROM YOU GLIB BASTARDS???
Filthy little cult.
I wanna be around when The Master says to the WTBTS, "Get away from me you workers of lawlessness. I never knew you."

Oh my, oh my, oh my!!!!!!
Really, this is the cover, not a joke?????
My teenage daughter's JW ex-boyfriend was giving her a rough time on MSN lately about how much she likes trendy clothes. He doesn't pay for them, I don't know why he is complaining. She was getting quite annoyed with him, and I don't think has even spoken to him since. Not hard to trace where his little mind gets his ideas.
