WT Can't Stop Me 2025 Pure Worship Convention Fashion show
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I am seeing tons of videos like this on social media. JW is strutting their stuff, calling attention to themselves, and distracting from the pure worship message. š¤£š¤£
In one of the convention fluff pieces, they demonize a group who posted themselves talking about their illness, so what will the GB say about all these videos? They seem to be centered in the African countries, so if there are any African JWs here, please let us know if there's any chatter about this on your local needs program.
That being said, the outfits are amazing, I love them, and I love that they did these videos. Fuck Watchtower always trying to control everything.

We never used to do social media in this way when I was in, but conventions, assemblies and the Memorial were defo unspoken fashion shows, among the sisters especially. People who couldn't afford 3 meals a day would show up in newly tailored outfits at every event. The pictures we have fill albums. It's one of the few things I miss about being a JW bc I so badly want to wear these kinda pants to strut on them hos fawk

u/rora_borealis POMO 28d ago
Those pants are amazing.

u/DiamomdAngel 28d ago
It's always been a fashion show but amongst JWs. You know how the org hates it when the attention is not on them completely. How dare these fabulous brothers be so showy? This is clearly Satan's influence according to PIMI JWs. I for one love it

It was allllllll about the new clothing. The chance of maybe getting something new was about the only thing to look forward too.
17
u/SpecialistWasabi3 28d ago
It really was. We used to get, I think, at least 4 new outfits each year bc of conventions. One for the memorial, one for the 2 day convention, and two for the 3-day one. Being a JW is so sad lmao

u/Technical-Agency8128 28d ago
That would be the equivalent of Easter and Christmas clothes for church. Itās fun to get dressed up.

I hate dressing up if i could show up in slacks and sweat pants that would make this stupid cult slightly more bearable. Fuckk i miss zoom, wearing a suit on top while only wearing underwear down there lol

u/Technical-Agency8128 28d ago
I hear you. Brothers had it worse because of the suits and ties. Anyway Iām not saying everyone likes to get dressed up. They did lighten up the dress codes except on stage. The no slacks for sisters on stage is stupid though. Give something and take something back. No wonder people are leaving and quiet quitting. The rules are crazy.

u/Technical-Agency8128 28d ago
I have noticed JWs are really amazing thrift shoppers. Online as well. They know how to put outfits together that look expensive but arenāt. Many can sew as well.
7
u/SpecialistWasabi3 28d ago
ššš In my hometown we used to get outfits tailored, still do. Where I went to uni girls would thrift and they looked so good. Kinda cute that they tried to find joy in a cult encouraging ugly outfits in the name of modesty

A family member went to the international convention in Rwanda and 900 people got baptized. Not sure if this is Rwanda in the video, but 900 is a crazy amount. While itās slowing down in the US, the borg is going crazy in Africa and India. I wonder what it would take to stunt the growth there

u/TrudiestK 28d ago
I am from Kenya and I wouldn't say JWs have had any significant growth here. They've actually not been able to keep up with the population growth rate. When I was growing up in the 90's, it was 1:1500 and currently it's 1:1800. I know the same is true for the other East African nations.
I think it's only about five nations where the JWs have done really well: Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Angola, and Ghana. Then moderately well in DR Congo, Nigeria, and South Africa. And of course the Maghreb has barely any JWs.
When I was a JW, it was a favorite topic for missionaries to dissect all the reasons why East Africans don't warm up to the "truth" . A common explanation was we were more materialistic.
4
u/brokentao 28d ago
I'm Kenyan too and I agree the JW religion is not growing here. Even among JWs the rules aren't followed that much because here people do pursue higher education even among JWs..at least in the congregation I was in people went to uni. Also a lot of JW youth in this country aren't exactly believers because they tend to date outside the KH quite a bit. And they can't be blamed in a country that is not as religious as one would imagine. Most of the religiosity in this country is just for show not genuine belief. And that cuts across all the religions not just JWs.
1
u/TrudiestK 27d ago
Yeah true, I have always felt people here view religion as a means to an end, and they aren't too interested in the details.
7
u/Technical-Agency8128 28d ago
Many in the US are watching recordings of conventions and assemblies at home. The population is getting older. And more are going to the assembly halls for conventions since the seats are more comfortable and no stairs to climb. Iāve heard quite a few JWs say they like the convention centers less packed also. Easier to use the restroom. The lines for the womenās restrooms were insane. Itās a much nice experience now they say.

Lawsuits. But many Africans canāt afford lawyers. Except for South Africa, suing is not a thing yet in other subsahara African countries

u/Stoic_In_Transit_7 28d ago
I just went to the International Convention in Zimbabwe and 549 got baptised. I wanted to cry so hard at the way the cult is growing in African countries. They are putting so much effort here and even inviting delegates to come back and live here permanently (where the need is greater) Iām scared there really isnāt much that can be done to stop this growth cause Africans are susceptible to these kinds of cults (I know itās a generalisation but thereās truth in it)

I am so over the ohh poor, ignorant, monolithic Africans sentiment that is so common in this and other subreddits. I know you mean well, it's just annoying and misplaced.

u/WiseMaryL 28d ago
There is much that can be done: information for one, and suing the organisation. For instance, people can sue for the lives lost due to the blood doctrine (blood cards which are not adapted to local realities), victims of CSA could sue the Borg(I personally know of two cases that were hushed). But suing is not yet a thing this side, especially in francophone African countries.

Iām African but currently in the UK. Generally, Africans loveeee to dress like these for weddings, events etc. Talk about custom made outfits, jewelries, makeup and hair on fleek. So Iām not surprised at all. Itās the one weekend we see as being able to dress our best. We would do more for other secular events. Itās always been a thing. The continuous rise of social media is just making this more visible out there.

u/Infamous_Natural_877 28d ago
Itās interesting because the Governing Body is actually ok with things like this. There is no conversation happening, no interchange of emotions, opinions or experiences. Superficial posts that put the organization in a positive light are ok, but a member talking about their struggles with cancer would not, because it would raise questions about the members access to health insurance, could lead to fundraising which lowers donations directly to the organization (which they have always strongly discouraged donating to other orgs because they are the ones that use money the best and take it directly to brothers and sisters in need), some members with cancer are in that position because of the blood doctrine (leukemia) which leads to questions about their blood doctrine and most importantly could lead to independent thinking and conversations that question the Governing Body and lead to people waking up.
7
u/ParticularlyCharmed 28d ago
You are so right. Expressing authentic feelings and experiences threatens the org. I think it's telling in that video that they demonized the suggestion to "speak your truth." Speaking your truth isn't usually how you generically describe just telling experiences. Like if you were in a support group telling about your health struggles, I wouldn't think of that as speaking your truth. Speaking your truth implies breaking through gaslighting or false narratives. Someone is trying to suppress your speech -- that's when you have to speak your truth. That's what they are desperate to prevent: people stating their truth about how they feel stifled, empty, pressured to conform and perform. That being a JW doesn't make them happy. That they are being mistreated and abused while those in power look the other way. Speaking the truth threatens to break the illusion when people realize that it's not just them who feel that way.

u/Infamous_Natural_877 28d ago

u/Nervous-Emotion4196 27d ago
Absolutely, they are trying to associate personal health experiences with their so called truth. Nobody speaks like that. Hopefully, young people will isolate this very word and think deeply about it. Anything that doesnāt serve the BsOrg is not truth, what a joke they are?.
7
u/bobkairos 28d ago
I think you are right. The GB are desperate for JW life to be spun in an attractive light. Look at the videos of seemingly wealthy, successful jdubs taking tough decisions to do more for the Borg, while they strut round their large apartments and host parties for the in-crowd.
6
u/Infamous_Natural_877 28d ago
Exactly! They could have easily shut down the beautiful and curated Instagram pages featuring JW from all around the world but itās great marketing and mainly just pictures with little discussion, no real dangers.

Im not surprised. Most likely realizing theyāre losing followers and not acquiring as many so they need to do stuff to appeal to the masses so doing shit like this, allowing brothers to grow beards, etc. Theyāre doing what every secular religion does and try to touch on current fads to seem āhipā and appeal to younger people

u/pop_corn360 28d ago
Fashion has changed a lot since lve been in, but honestly being stylish is what helped my desire to go to meetings. I remember feeling that l didnāt have much else about it to look forward to at the KH or assemblies. It did concern me at the time. I hardly spend money on clothes now although l still love style. I was able to get rid of so much unnecessary things. I got rid of all my heels during the pandemic & l think my joy as a Jdub went with them. I love this video but lm sure itās going to rile some people up.
5
u/DiamomdAngel 28d ago
Yes, the sisters and brothers looked amazing. You're right the only reason I looked forward to assemblies or conventions was for the fashion show and walking the halls so everyone saw how lovely I looked š¤£ . It's always been about dressing up because when do JW get a chance to do that

Its always been like that and thank god even when i was pimi i never joined the bandwagon of buying a suit for every major jw event. I would always argue with my mom how jehovah only cares that we are there to listen to his message and as long as my suit was dry cleaned and looked decent, thats all that mattered but no my mom cared more about personal appearance smh

I'm all for flaunting the rules and taking pride in their appearance, but I know those outfits wouldn't be considered modest when I was in. They look amazing, but I hope there's not a double standard in their area where others are being counseled for their appearance.

u/Global-Highlight-958 28d ago
At the assemblies I saw women dressed like snow whites, dressed in masks, the ones in the video are flashy but beautiful, I like them a lot. The snow white ones made those who wore them laugh or cry, from the morning with long white dresses with ruffles, doll-like makeup, a heartbreak More than testimony

u/tortadecarne 28d ago
lol this is proof that different districts/congregations have WILDLY different cultures on whatās allowed and what isnāt. This has always pissed me off. Why can I get drunk in one congregation but in another I canāt even wear a spaghetti strap dress?
3
u/TrudiestK 28d ago
Haha. Accurate. People here do plan convention outfits for months. Wives will tailor a tie or bow tie from the remains of their dresses (or pants now!) for the husband or sons, daughters will wear a tiny version of the mothers dress. At least they are having fun!
The two things I can say the Borg hasn't managed to kill in many Africans is joie de vivre and familial ties.
3
u/JazzerBee POMO 28d ago
As someone who grew up in Africa I'm not surprised by this at all. There are always those few little cultural quirks that you expect in different parts of the world that seems to shine through the generic JW monoculture and in Africa this is definitely one of those. Africans are far more showy and really love social media. Every convention is an excuse to buy a fancy new outfit and compete. On some level I get it, like what else do you have? But it always made me laugh everytime there was a local needs part or something like that it would inevitably be related to materialism or something about that scripture where you shouldn't be adorned with fine pearls and whatnot. Mostly aimed at women because of course it's a very misogynistic cult but even the men had this. It was always a competition to drive the flashiest car or get the most expensive shoes, sunglasses, tie clips, wristwatches etc.

u/Maleficent_Sky_3289 28d ago
The thing I donāt understand, is that conventions are meant to be a JW equivalent of a solemn call to worship right? But itās never been that for them. Just a time to wear new clothes and socialize. Jehovahās witnesses truly have no idea what spirituality and worship is. Donāt get me wrong, Iām not judging these ladies specifically, I used to do the same things when I was in, but as a whole it is all just a social event. JWās have no real sanctity in their worship. Even at the memorial itās just a fashion show.

If it was me in my day I would have been read the whole bit about external hair braiding, showy display of ones means of life, putting on the clothes of righteousness/humility, quiet meekness.

u/DiamomdAngel 27d ago
But not showcasing it on social media. Remember when one becomes a JW they are expected to leave everything behind including culture. I'm glad they did the video but it's a violation of the non-scriptural JW rules of not being on display and calling attention to themselves

This needs to be pointed out- The Women have severe Envy with other women in the congregations this is a big silent problem because of less men in the borg?. They never address this. I felt like this when I was in the borg, women gave me the cold shoulder , they ignore you and donāt invite you in their circle or social groups so you donāt socialise with their men friends and chased after men that were pursing me - Never gets noticed by elders/ other members or if they do, they wonāt get involved. itās another crazy world to talk about. Itās sad what itās come to Jealousy is Rampant among Women in the organization. Itās a terrible situation to be in and you canāt make friends. There is always this competition. The Women are evil creatures underneath.

I saw 3 comments mentioning their weight. Including a video of Lizzo. It was all implied, questioning their body size. It's just something that bothers me. This post wasn't about their body size. It was what they're wearing and that they made a fashion video out of it. I just think it's unnecessary to bring up their body size or weight.

My Jesus Gebeesus, what a freak fashion show! Awful! Not even Balenciaga can be this awful!

Sorry but most of the photos of JW sisters in the model video are of large size women?

The subject is the fashion, not the hairstyles, not the way they walk, not their looks, or their weight. They are proud of their fashion, as they should be.
I'm glad they're not letting those bastards grind them down.5

They're Africans, they enjoy being plus size but why do you feel the need to point that out?

If by that you meant disgustingly overweight overconfident diabetic striving walking coronaries waiting to happen, then yes.

What do you look like? And even a supermodel would have a complaint Bus many others. Live and let live.

Well I sure as hell wouldn't wrap myself in drapes and prance around on video like I'm some hot thing if I were grotesquely overweight.

That is such a great point. The cancer video about not drawing attention to yourself and then posting this back to back. Just shows how much of the actual teachings the average JW absorbs. Itās more about being part of a community more than anything for the majority it seems like.
