Check this out below - if her husband is an unbaptized publisher, she must wear a head covering when studying with another man while out in service; however, with any other male unbaptized publisher she does NOT have to wear a head covering. But JWs arent under nutty mind control, trapped in a marriage ruining cult: THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) FEBRUARY 2015 Questions From Readers Does a female Kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a Bible study in the presence of a male publisher? In a “Questions From Readers” item published in The Watchtower of July 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a Bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not. Further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate. If the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established Bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering. She thus shows respect for Jehovah’s arrangement of headship within the Christian congregation because she is fulfilling a role that would normally be the responsibility of the brother. (1 Cor. 11:5, 6, 10) Alternatively, she could ask the brother to conduct the study if he is qualified and able to do so. On the other hand, if a sister is accompanied on an established Bible study by an unbaptized male publisher who is not her husband, she would not Scripturally be required to wear a head covering. Nevertheless, the conscience of some sisters may move them to wear a head covering even in such circumstances.
