Does anyone remember that old book about dress and grooming?
by IsaacJ22 ini'm working on an article for my site, and i can't remember what the name of that old book about dress and grooming was called.
we had an elder who had a serious "thing" about how you were dressed, and he carried that book around at every meeting with all the "good stuff" underlined so he could show it to you just before he smacked you with it.
it looked like it was about a hundred years old.. anyone remember the title?.

In-laws are here for my wifes District Convention
by SAHARA inas i've stated in my previous posts, i am not a jw but my wife is and it's that time of year when the conventions are going on.
my wife's parents and sister/husband live in az while we live in ca.
they haven't come to visit since i've had a little falling out with my inlaws last year about studying with my son by phone behind my back when normally we would visit each other at least 3 - 4 times/year each.

Bible Students/Jehovah's Witnesses
by StAnn ini hope i'm coherent here as i have a question.
from what i read somewhere in the numerous ex-jw publications, the majority of the bible students who followed c. t. russell were appalled by the changes that rutherford forcefully imposed and they refused to follow rutherford.
because rutherford was president of the corporation, the bible students could not keep the names of the watchtower and the ibs but left the organization under rutherford and have continued to this day, following russell's teachings, and still calling themselves the bible students.

by Simon Morley inparagraph 17 states: "how should we respond when rumors about fellow believers are circulated by gods enemies?".
what about: "how we should respond when rumours about fellow believers are circulated by fellow believers?
my family was continually a victim of sewer level slander (not even gossip that resulted in murder - not physical but a character assassination.

Circ. Ass. Last Weekend...oh boy!
by tresdecu inso i had to suffer through the ca last weekend, it was rough at 1st, i was actually sick to my stomach the night before, fortunately my little boy kept me occupied during the session and i got to walk around a lot.. the do cracked down on 'true christians' watching vampire movies aka....twilight.
i know this series is hugely popular with a lot of teens and 20somthings, even a young elder and his wife (mostly the wife) are really into them.. he said true christians just don't watch such things.
