Just hide it from other JWs, like many hide it from other JWs that they post on JWD (me included). The point is not to get caught by humans...because God doesn't matter. (Not that I think he cares...if wedding rings are all right with the WTS and they're pagan).
It's so silly really.
Blondie: Interesting point about wedding rings. I even remembered in the Revelation (was it 88 when that was released?) book one of their quoted sources they used in their research for that book mentioning wedding rings, etc. being of pagan origin but they never speak against it when those in the cong use them in their ceremonies, hmmmmm
Makes you realize that the WTS has started their own Talmud....even the Torah only has 600 laws...I wonder how many rules (contradictory and otherwise) the WTS has?
xjw_b12: Well if you signed up for a class at the YWCA, I'm sure they'd have something to say about it.
True, true. But so long as you took a class offered by the UN/DPI it would be a-okay.
under the caption Not a Choice for Christians the Watchtower of Aug 1 2002 states on page 22:
"The choice of what physical exercise to pursue is a personal one. Christians, however, would not allow anything?be it bodily training, eating, drinking, clothing, entertainment, or something else?to mar their relationship with Jehovah God. (1 Corinthians 10:31) For those exercising simply for the sake of their health, there are many avenues available that do not involve exposure to the dangers of spiritism and occultism. By keeping clear of practices and beliefs that are rooted in false religion, we may look forward to God?s blessing of a righteous new system of things in which we can enjoy perfect health in body and mind for an eternity.?2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:3, 4."...Yoga?Just an Exercise or Something More?
I would say, matter of choice yes, but a huge no no none the less. Like everything else.

We had our circuit assembly at the YMCA Hall in Chowringhee, where it was good for me to meet the Bengali-speaking brothers for my first time.
So joining the YMCA to lift weights and swim is BAD.
The Watchtower renting it for an assembly on a one time baisis is GOOD.
Now I can see the difference, as I split one of my hairs.
I am of the impression that the Organization is so f***Ked. they seem to have double standards for themselves and tell the witnesses that its wrong and yet they will utilize whatever is at there disposal so long as things are hush hush.
Oh how long will it be before the witnesses catch on to the lies and deceit??
Orangefatcat.
My jdub sister was into belly dancing if you can believe it. That was until someone became offended and she decided the origin was sexual. I can't believe she couldn't figure that one out on her own! She had groups of sisters coming to her house to learn belly dancing! LOL I was really cracking up at her for that one.
Anyway, if someone finds out you are into Yoga you will be in trouble.
I mean really isn't most dancing sexual? In fact isn't everything sexual?
I have a job so I can pay my rent, so I have a place to have sex...therefore my job is sexual.
Belly dancing for your mate....wrong...might inflame him with lust for her....just pull out the big ole grandma panties size 18 that'll turn him off. Remember sex is only for squeezing kids out of that womb not sex!
Frikkin tards! May those old farts of the FDS die a most unpleasant death by deep paper cuts from the trashy magazines they publish.
