Chess!!??

Lilycurly

I just read from the Quotes website that the WTS discourages people to play Chess! I never knew that!lol They compare it to actual war and say it can make one competitive and aggresive. I've never read such bullshit, if I didn't know better, I would have thought that this was a mock article.

That's old light, Lily. Chess is now OK as long as it doesn't take away from time you could be preaching.

Alright, then...still think it's a very strange way of thinking. (Because they still have the same type of reasonings about almost anything.)lol

Did you catch these:
Tic-Tac-Toe -- Harmless Fun?
"Operation!" -- Don't Let it Take Over Your Life!
"I Was a Hungry, Hungry Hippos Champion, Then I Found a Better 'Hunger'!"
But seriously, the chess bit was real. Interestingly, it was about the most ignored 'conscience matter' I've seen. The only ones that said 'the Society says chess is bad' are the ones that sucked at it!

Dont take this the wrong way, but that is hard to believe. Do you have the ACTUAL article it came from? Id like to see it.

I understand your query. We should make sure. But I think you're a bit, very typically, paranoid.
