  Yoga Anyone?

  by dobby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  Dannyboy....Thank you for the compliment. I was offered a witing position at Brooklyn headquarters but I took my current position instead. Mad Magazine pays much better.

  SpiceItUp....Be very very careful. I think Brother Rutherford stated it best we he said, ..."those who wish to sleep on their stomachs are leaving themselves open for demonic possesion by the God of Ur-anus. A true believer would take precautions to guard against this very real threat by sleeping with a Bible between their legs." - taken from, DEMONS, (1928).

  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?

  I believe Woodinville is in Washington state. I read about the incident on this forum. Apparently a local MS hung himself in the kingdum hall parking lot. I'm hoping to find a newspaper account although I know that sometimes they do not cover suicides. Thankz.

  I was there in 1958...although only 7 at the time. Travelled with family all the way from California. I remember a lot more about New York than the convention. Travelling that far in a car on a limited budget is not the most fun. I do remember as we got closer to New York, there was much excitement because the majority of people had some sort of bumper sticker that identified them and the ones who didn't have an official sticker put Watchtowers and Awakes in their windows, so there was a lot of waving and beeping going on as we got close. That was fun. I remember being stuck in the Lincoln Tunnel during rush hour...not fun. I remember seeing rats at the delli where I had the best pastrami sandwich I'd ever had...and other stuff. It was definetly memorable for a little kid. Of course we were supposed to have a real vacation too but there really wasn't enough time because my dad had to go back to work.

  Treating the pioneers "Just So."

  i was reading jjrizo's thread about elders who take advantage of the kh, and i had a memory i'd like to share.

  all my life growing up i had heard about how "jehovah takes care of those who put kingdom interests first.

  " and all of those experiences on the platform about getting an envelope "with the exact rent amount due the day before we were to be evicted" and so on.
