Collared shirts, polo shirts, or plain shirts without writing may be worn. No shirts and sweatshirts with writing other than those with Bible verses. No clothing with other pictures, writing, or symbols may be worn. This applies to brothers and sisters. [Please read: Watchman Nee, Messages for Building Up New Believers, vol. 3, chapter 37].
