  Sport and JWs!!!

  just wondering what your experiences are.

  were you "encouraged" not to devote time to personal exercise, gym or sport in general?

  i remember this one time co gave a talk how "we do not need sport" then he proceeded to explain how walking up the stairs in field service was exercise enough for our legs, then how we didn't need any stretching exercise as making gestures while explaining the bible verses would do the job, and so on.

  Sick ... mind-control ... bulsh*t!

  I remember one sister being discouraged from getting massages ... others sis's thought it was immoral to have a man touching you .

  I don't recall off-hand hearing anything as bizarre as 'fs is all we need' lmao. The certainly didn't ENCOURAGE health and excercise. Armygetton was right around the corner (must be one hell-uv-a long block!)

  Luther was not just a singer he was an entertainer and he always turned a concert OUT!

  One of the things I liked most about him was his ability to remake a song and compliment it with his smooth, sexy voice and inject his personal style. Nobody does it like he did.

  He will be missed.

  thank you for letting me post this un-sent letter to my father.

  i am writing this to voice my opinion; this is not open for discussion.

  i find if upsetting that you feel its appropriate to invite my husband into your home and demean the religion he was brought up in, not only have you done that in your home but youve also done it in his home.

  We often discuss mental illness among the witnesses on this board. I doubt the prosecuting attorney would follow up on this if they did not have credible proof that this is in fact a hoax. How easily people accept the guilt of some over others . If this DID NOT happen to this young lady from where whould her help come?

  Watchtower and UN?

  is this issue of the watchtower being part of the un department of public information of any significance?

  at the district conventions of jehovahs witnesses there are flags of the united states and other sovereign government such as states or other countries hanging from the buildings.

  the governing body and the watchtower society rent buildings which become the equivalent of kingdom halls for the weekend.

  Hi Rambaldi - Basically if it's not an issue to YOU then it's NOT an issue.

  Nothing more to see here ... move along, move along.

  Wandering during the meeting is it getting worser? Or maybe betterer!?

  i was forced to go over to the hall near my house to pick up my g-mother in laws wheelchair for the assembly.

  she keeps one there that reclines for when she goes to the hall (usually once a year or so!

  ha) anyway she needed it so i had to go get it!

  The women could use the kid excuse to get up and take a break. If they don't have one, they could always borrow somebody elses, on the excuse of giving them a break

  That's right Satanus ... I had four children while in the b0rg - that means for YEARS I could take a break in the bathroom or mother's room ! Sometimes they were sooooooo fidgety I could spend almost the entire meeting in there talking with the other 'sisters'. Of course I breastfed too - imagine whipping out a tig-ol-bittie in the main hall to feed a baby .

  Can you refute these?

  by Mary Phooty in

  1. are jesus and michael the archangel really the same person?.

  one of the most peculiar of the wtss teachings is their assertion that jesus is actually michael the archangel.

  " in acts 10:19-20, this "impersonal force" considers himself to be a person.

  i haven't been here much for the last 6 months or so because... (drum roll please) my wife has pretty much called it quits!

  she's not been to a meeting now in over a year!

  (well she went to visit a gung-ho friend for the weekend and went to one sunday) no service in at least twice that long!

  I've noticed that women will go through changes at pivotal ages/stages in their life. At 29 is when I began to question the choices I made and the direction my life was going (I had also done so at 20 and 25). That's when I was ready to leave the b0rg for a better life.

  I think the most important thing is for you to just BE there and LISTEN to what she's going through. Don't push her right now ... you may push her right out the door if she feels her freedom to choose is hampered. She'll figure out what she wants to do as far as education, career etc. in her own time. It's a process - she has to find HER true personality as she discards the psuedo person she's cloaked her self in for conformities sake. Now that she's disconnected from the b0rg the world is her oyster. Make sure YOU are the pearl inside .

  I wish you and your wife the absolute BEST! Please keep us posted.

  LOVE is the sign

  in my jc meeting i kept on at the elders about love.

  that there was no love being shown in the congregations & even toward me on how they were dealing with the whole situation & towards my mother.

  i mentioned that there were only 2 commandments given to us - 1. to love god & 2. to love our neighbour.
