  by navytownroger in

  2. beliefs

  i was told by my former book-study conductor recently that a new 'dress code' had been handed down by the wts, because people had been 'getting too casual' with their styles of clothing.

  one item he mentioed was a new rule for women prohibiting denim skirts.

  and, when a woman wore a denim jacket, she was also told this was not appropriate for the kh.

  Pantyhose

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something that has facinated me since i started reading and posting on this board was the whole "women must always wear pantyhose" idea... .

  the thought sometimes crosses my mind as to whether or not there were any differences in the borg from country to country - but the only issue i have come across is the pantyhose one.

  in south africa, to the best of my knowledge, while i was "in", this was not a requirement - we only wore stockings if the weather required it.

  Do JWs miss having large parties, pot-lucks, etc?

  by navytownroger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as has been stated before, large congregational get-togethers, cook-outs, baseball games, etc are now greatly discouraged by the society.

  back in the 80s in san diego we had parties, night-time beach bonfires, pool parties and frequent restaurant meals with 10+ people.

  do current jws seem to miss these sorts of social activities??

  by Alexia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a few weeks ago, there was a thread started on jw funeral talks and how horrible they are, but what about those wedding talks?.

  talks that has nothing to do with the couple itself, but an advertisement about how wonderful marriage in jehovahs organization is.

  *eye roll * the worst is when they have to bring up sex in the marriage in a wedding talk *barf*.

  THIS, my friends is KILLING the Watchtower Society....RIGHT NOW!

  by RedPill2006 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  canadian archaelogist zhichun jing, writing about the decline of the highly creative shang dynasty, said "...after a century the shang vitality slackened.

  the initial diversity and creativity devolved into a dull sameness.

  by the end we see that things like their pottery, architecture and artwork had become standardized and simplified.
