  2007- Witness Meetings= Why can't women wear pants/trousers??

  by Witness 007 in

  2. beliefs

  when my mum went to her first meeting she was dressed to perfection, she wore nice ladies dress trouser/pants.

  the witness stuying with her told her it was "not apropriate" to wear this to the meeting...in 2006 i was in a congregation where a sister would put a skirt on over her pants she wore to work.

  it looked weird, but the pants ban still is in force 2007.

  In Australia it is hot..damn hot! I remember one meeting....45 Degrees C inside the Hall. The rule was no jacket, no part on stage! The Elder taking the Watchtower was always a bit trendy and cool in my eyes says: "Look I'm Sorry Brothers, but I'm gonna have to take my jacket off!" He was sweating like a mule. I wonder if he was forgiven.

  I agree with bonnie/clyde most Witnesses of that era were kept poor due to the truth and had no choice. Someone published a Macmillan letter on this site in which he tells how he "has no money" at the time.

  Faith of the March p.34 A.H Macmillan {later on the Watchtower board of directors} says "..At 16 I decided to be a preacher. I wen't away to school some distance from home. For some reason not clear to me now I suffered a nervous breakdown and had to quit..."

  My brief story

  by 4mylove in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  growing up i had a friend that was disfellowshiped for premarital sex, marrying someone out of his faith, and pretty much being a free thinker.

  to see what he went through at such a young age was painful to watch.

  years later i meet this wonderful man, who was raised as a witness.

  Watchtower reverse spin white wash time folks!

  Watch.93 12/1 p.18 "EXAMPLES OF HUMILITY TO IMITATE - Rutherford ....when he prayed with the Bethel family, he sounded just like a small boy talking to his daddy, thus giving evidence...of humility."

  Watch 04 8/1 p.12 "At the convention....50 year old Rutherford gladly volunteered as a bellhop, carrying luggage and escorting conventioners to their rooms....he was genuinely humble..." {I thought he was sick and had to live in California/Bethsarim?????}

  Faith on the March p.73 "Rutherford's background...he had no youthful life...his Father was a strict disciplinarian, which deprived young Rutherford of any emotional life....Rutherford was very kind hearted."

  Klien also says at Bethel he suffered "a broken knee cap, fractured vertebrae" also "Both my own failings AND THOSE OF OTHERS have kept my life from being smooth sailing." Regarding not getting along with Knorr his wife told him;"It's not to be expected that an efficent executive {Knorr} and a very romantic musician {Klien} would see eye to eye." Klien "served at Bethel for 38 years as a single person." {From 1925-1963 Since marriage was frowned apon} He admits ; "thankful to Jehovah that when I was spiritually weak the opportunity for yielding to temptation did not lie close at hand and when it did I was spiritually strong enough not to yield...the inclination toward wrongdoing and the opportunity for it, never coincided..." {lucky!}
