I dont believe in this cock and bull story,all male withnesses at night going to an hotel to preach,withnesses are very wise and intelligent people,they technically avoid such places as it may bring reproach to Jehovahs name,people should based thier post on realistic evidence and concrete facts.....this story is baseless and need not too much of the racking of brain..........proud to be one of Jw.

Hmmm maybe God is showing or telling you that u need to be more moderate in your makeup have you thought of that,your overmakeup can scare your potential husband.Solution:if you have a male confidant why dont u ask him ow you look like when you have dress property and to the best of you applying your makeup,hear is response and make the neccessary adjustment if need be.
