Yoga Anyone? (page 2)

LDH

The biggest crock of shit.

NOTICE, however, JWs embrace acupuncture!!! This form of 'healing' works on the EXACT SAME PRINCIPLES as yoga does, LOL.

Yoga postures are found everywhere....under the guise of a warm up, or gentle stretching.

Yes...we all know that everyone uses the corpse pose usually at least once a day (that is laying flat on your back)

I was always interested in yoga and wasnt allowed to even have the books in my room..as they might bring in the demons....yet my mother does accupressure and dabbles in the uses and combinations of herbs.....hypocritical..NAH just a dub way of thinking. Now yoga has increased my flexibility, health and confidence level...is that really so bad. According to the dubs, yes, because when people are feeling better and have self-confidence then they don't need evil cults.

Amazing

Hi LDH:

Ignorance and demon hysteria still reign in regard to Yoga.

Yep, well said. As long as they can, the Watchtower will be chasing demons until they run out of paper and ink.

Francois - You know your stuff! Kundalini or "Serpent Fire" (there are other names for it I think... is all about the human body & mind, attaining inner peace, and the truth of unity in being different. It promotes that all life is of one singular energy and is bound with each other through "love." Although, much of the meditation techniques I use are just Moe stretching, closing her eyes and relaxing to some good incense and music. It is all about conforming techniques so that you feel totally at ease...

Kisses,

Moe

What a load! Ok so they kept saying "Does this sound like it is from Jehovah?" How do they know it isn't? Hinduism, and Buddisim were around before Christianity, maybe God told them to do yoga...grrr...it just makes me mad.

Well, this explains something!! I thought this Yoga business had long since blown over. BUT-when I hurt my back recently and told my Mom that the Dr. had said that yoga would be an excellent exercise, she seemed to get nervous. I've done yoga before-with no concern on her part-but she suddenly seemed uncomfortable. I'd bet she's read this article but knows what I'd say if she started telling me that yoga will "open my mind to demons".

What bunk!

I can't believe that crap. I love Yoga, in fact I will be in Yoga class after work tonight. I think the WTS is against exercise that promotes mediatation with the pretense that it leaves the mind open for demons, when, in actuality they just don't want to lose their grasp on the "mind control".

SpiceItUp.....You are so correct in your statement about the "corpse pose" that we do once a day. That is why a person wishing to be a true Christian would want to watch how he/she sleeps. The "corpse pose" could be construed as a form of Death Worship, something a seeker of truth would want to avoid. We must therefore strive to sleep in a way that is pure and unadulterated by the God of this system of things. Yes the Devil is always working hard to deceive us. That is why something as innocent as sleeping positions can leave us open for demonic influence. Take the "embryo position", also commonly known as "curling into a ball." We know from ancient texts that many Babylonians slept in this position, no doubt as part of the Mother Worship to their false God, Mumma. And Egyptian hyroglyphics have shown pagan children using a circular device in their daily activities. We should therefore take great pains to sleep in a spiritually correct manner....maybe even having our mate observe our sleep habits and reporting them to the loving elders who would then provide us with Bible based advice. Remember the words at Leviticus 21:20-21, where the Bible writer stated that ...."....if a man has....pimples...or imperfect testicles....he is not permitted to offer fire sacrifices....". How much more important then, is it to keep free of demonic influence in the way that we sleep!

Seriously...I took yoga for my blood pressure. It lowered it. Oh yeah, we did exercises (stretching) and we meditated in the form of trying to clear our minds of all negative thoughts...which is pretty hard when you're raised a Dub. What's next...Are they going to condemn nap-time in Kindergarten?
