Ha ha-no there will not be any competitive sports in the new system (which we've all already established there is no such thing)....Oh my gosh-that was another thing that was so cult-y about witnesses. That just seems to have come about in recent years-the whole "No competitive sports thing." ITs' crazy man! I remember some CO or something got up there on the platform and was like, "Now, there have been reports of young ones getting involved in competitive sports. Now recreation is fine here and there, but to get too into it w/ our brothers and sisters-well, we could start contentions that way, ya know!" OMG-ARE YOU serious!?
A few of my guy friends had started some basketball teams (JWs only) and I thought it was apretty neat thing for them to go and do that-the tiny tiny tiny bit of fun witnesses get to have, and the CO was basically talking about THEM in his talk. But it was like they were only JWs on the bballt eam anyway! I don't know if the CO doesnt get that sports involve COMPETITION.
I can just imagine him playing (if he could)-it'd be like "Oh pass me the ball please." THen you pass it and he just stands there asking everyone "Did you get the ball too? Oh, Mark did you get a chance? WHo hasn't gotten the ball yet?"
I swear, anything with the slightest bit of passion or vigor in it in any form of LIfe is totally shut down by Witnesses-anything involving real EMOTION or PASSION....ugghhh,
By the way JH, you are a cutie! :) You look all emo and indie-cutie pie!

There will be no new system as the JWs perceive it but if there was an ideal system there would still be competitive games as long as no one gets hurt which means no violent sports like boxing. Sports and exercise help the human spirit develop.

Competetive sports that sounds like too much fun. After armegeddon their is going to be a thousand years that you will have to toe the line. If you make it through that who knows what kind of tribulation Jehober will think up or has thought up to put you through. Your competetive sport will be staying alive with a mad God.

N/A-no new system, therefore, no competitive sports.

Surely reasonable Christians will realize that all that corpse cleaning will become tiresome and macabre, thus allowing for some friendly competition to liven things up a bit and provide motivation. I foresee events such as the corpse toss, hole digging, lime spreading, and wheelbarrow racing. Initially, it is possible that bird shooing and scarecrow building will be acceptable, until the local elders pass on the New Light from the Governing Body (received via pony express) that after careful consideration, and due to the scripture reading "do not bind the mouth of the kine that tread the grain", birds are no longer to be shooed away from mass burial sites, but allowed to participate in their Jehovah given task of helping to clean up the mess of Armageddon. (After which, of course, Jehovah in his infinite wisdom will wipe certain species of birds off the face of the planet, specifically the carrion eaters, since there will be no more carrion. Just as the dinosaurs outlived their purpose after 'mowing' the planet, so too will crows, vultures, etc, have done their duty, and no longer be needed.)
