  Bethel writer see's a fatty bethelite take the last bread roll at lunch...should he vent his feelings thru Jehovahs holy Watchtower magazine...why not!!

  Watchtower 1974p.167 "...by over indulging in food....he fails to show love for Jehovah God...is food a big thing in his life? Does he selfishly ignore others needs and take more then his share? Is he grossly overweight but shows no restraint habitually gorging himself? ....he has NO PLACE IN THE CONGREGATION OF GOD...HE WILL NOT INHERIT GODS KINGDOM..."

  (Four years later the "fat-racist" continues) Watchtower 1978 12/15 p.9 "...he may make it impossible for other diners to eat to satisfaction. For this reason he may be dispised...he isolates himself from others...THEY MAY SHUN HIM...GODS KINGDOM WILL BRING LAW-DEFYING GLUTTONS TO AN END."

  Our Cong.- pizza hut all you can eat is cancelled this week.

  he may make it impossible for other diners to eat to satisfaction. For this reason he may be dispised...he isolates himself from others...THEY MAY SHUN HIM...GODS KINGDOM WILL BRING LAW-DEFYING GLUTTONS TO AN END

  This sounds an awful lot like some WT writer had a peeve with someone at his Bethel table hogging all the fried chicken for himself.

  As noted above - if enforced, the count of JWs would drop by half.

  For a truly enlightening experience, drop by a Golden Corral or similar all you can eat buffet on a Sunday afternoon....and be careful not to stand between the JW table and the container of macaroni and cheese glop.

  WT takes a dim view on exercise as well, especially bodybuilding. So what's a fat f**k supposed to do?

  Jacking off burns a few calories, especially 20 times a day, Oh no, they ban that as well.

  Bodybuilding

  I had started to do muscle exercises so as to have a good physical appearance. I began to take hormones to develop faster (a common thing among weight lifters). I trained four hours a day. But as I developed physically, I became stationary mentally. Then I read that article (“Young People Ask . . . Should I Go In For Bodybuilding?” December 22, 1986). I never thought I would give up that sport, but now I realize the need to build my mind and not just my body. So I have given it up. Thank you very much.

  can't look at himself in the mirror

  hasn't seen his Johnson in a decade because of his beer belly

  Thank you, Watchtower! Such awesome advice you gave me 26 years ago. I'm so glad I quit taking care of my body.

  Maybe Botchtower should stop using the 'meat in due season' phrase. Gets people thinkin' too much about food. Meat... like B-A-C-O-N! Yuummmy!

  And let's not overlook the inevitable exercise/health/homosexuality connection:

  .

  *** yp2 chap. 28 p. 233 How Can I Avoid Homosexuality? ***

  Shun pornography and gay propaganda. (Colossians 3:5) Avoid anything that will arouse immoral desires. This would include pornography, certain TV shows and movies, and perhaps even fashion or bodybuilding magazines that feature lightly clad models. Change negative thoughts to positive ones. “Whenever I have homosexual urges,” says one teenage boy, “I meditate on my favorite Bible text.”
