    I was in the school chess team for five years. My elder father didn't seem to mind.

    I was in the school football team too - again I got no flack about that, Lucky I guess.

    I think it's all about control - they don't want you doing ANYTHING outside their mind numbing, repetitive brainwashing sessions.

    Wow, just about any kind of recreation is bad "

    • What principles can help us to avoid letting recreation crowd out spiritual activities?

      • For instance, some allow a desire for food, clothing, and shelter to crowd out their love for God.

        • Most people today have allowed the normal pursuits of life to crowd out spiritual pursuits: Add secular education and employment.

          • Let us take to heart the lesson that even family-matters, such as marriage and the raising of children, should not be allowed to crowd out our sense of urgency as to Jehovah’s day.

    Sea Breeze, is that for real? There was an article? Not just a zealous elder persecuting the flock at a higher level than usual? 🤔

    Edited to add:

    This was the best I could find at the WT's site:
