Sisters told they strictly can't wear slacks to Meetings to keep them submissive! Why?
by Witness 007 inyes slacks and pants on women are evil.....the first step to wanting to be elders or even worse lesbians!
so the watchtower in it's wisdom put a strict bad on women wearing pants at meetings, even in siberia or alaska where it is freezing cold....i qoute the governing body who said: "we need to show these sisters who wears the pants in our congregations...literally.".
in the 70's when it was all the rage, my mum tried wearing slacks to the hall....."go and get changed" said the sister who studied with her.

Zen Living part 23 (summarized): Loving Kindness: What the World Needs Now
by JimmyPage inlove really is the answer.
zen living reveals that loving kindness, compassion, and the desire to relieve the suffering of others emerge naturally from a zen practice.. as the world experiences struggle, conflict, and pain, zen living can teach those who practice it how to release fear, hate, and the delusion of difference.. loving kindness can heal emotional, political, social, and spiritual separation.. we can help spread strength, power, and unity through loving kindness by practicing mindfulness every day.. .

Birthday V Anniversary -I don't send JW family an Anniversary card
by artemis.design inwhen i was growing up in a jw family, i always resented the fact that i had to save up my hard earned pocket money to buy my parents a wedding anniversary gifts, when we, as kids, never, ever had a special day.
i don't mean the usual, not celebrating birthdays or christmas, but we had no special day at all.
we didn't lack for toys, but that idea of looking forward to a certain day and have a wrapped gift, is something i don't ever remember experiencing as a kid/teenager.. forward fast to 16 and leaving home, i decided i didn't want to celebrate anniversaries.

When Did You Stop Saying Amen
by BroMac infor prayers from the platform.. i've "said my own" for a few years now if i find i cant agree with what the brother is praying about.
i'm constantly amazed by the same old repetitive ramblings and just nonsense that some brothers feel is an acceptable way to pray for a congregation.. once i've finished saying my own i'll listen again to what they are going on about, and round and round they go.
the worse ones are those who can hardly speak english and i cant understand a word thats said apart from the "...feffull slive... bless bruders sis not here..." blah blah.. and everyone has gone through the public talk prayer.
