Yoga Anyone?
by dobby in
1. jw

i just read with interest an article entitled yoga - just an exercise or something more?

in the august 1, 2002 watchtower.. i know that growing up a witness i had always been told that yoga was related to spiritism and the occult.

however, with the popularity of yoga among the mainstream in recent years as a means to keep fit not as a means to find spiritual enlightment, i thought the society may have lightened up a bit.

I have a theory...

here it is:.

think of somebody you love, or *think* you love.

give them a list of ten things (or five things, or three things, or one thing) that you wish they would either start doing or quit doing.. they react by: drawing a line through one, two, or all ten of the things on your list (meaning that these things are important to them and they'd rather not give them up), or they rip the list to shreds right in front of you and call you a new fool for thinking up such a thing since every item on your list is too important for them to stop/start doing.. regardless of their reaction, if your love for them is totally unaffected and stays where it was before, you love them.

Sifted As Wheat???
by VioletAnai in
1. jw
2. friends
i was just pondering the scripture, but i'm not sure if it's satan who's demanded the 'faithful' to be sifted as wheat.

i can't remember where the scripture is either.

my question is: why did jehovah give in to his demands?

How do YOU deal with it??

hello all- recently joined, had some probs getting logged in, but here at last.... anyway, the question is: for those that can relate, when your heart feels heavy from the hurt, pain, regret, sorrow, bitterness, anger... and the lost years, stolen time, forsaken friends, broken relationships, wasted energies, abandonment, and lost love weighs on you --> caused by wt org.

stress.... how do you get past it?

what heals you, brings you relief, rescues you from total worthless feelings of inadequacy, comforts your wounds, keeps you from jumping on the train tracks?.
