  Yoga - Not a Choice for Christians

  by 5thGeneration in

  my wife wants to start yoga for her joints.. what do you think in light of the counsel?

  http://www.watchtower.org/e/20020801a/article_01.htmnot a choice for christians.

  whatever health instructors may say to the contrary, yoga does not stop with physical exercises.

  yoga does not stop with physical exercises. The book Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies relates the experiences

  This is where the Awake! Goes amiss. Yoga is not Hindu. You can apply Hindi customs and religious beliefs to yoga, but yoga welcomes that from any belief system.

  So this quote becomes a classic red herring argument. Do not drag the reader into believing that strange Hindi customs such as holding breath until hallucination is yoga.

  Anyone who practices yoga would scoff at the quote anyway because breath control and flow (deep breathing techniques) are essential to the practice.

  Just a publicity update here: "Watchtower Comments" now dominates it's Google search and YouTube Search. Just type "Watchtower Comments"...

  The Introduction Video (see here) is about to surpass 5,000 individual views and each of the studies currently released (see post above) has climbed over 1,000 views.

  All in less than two months!

  Thanks for supporting Watchtower Comments by your positive ratings and comments. The few apologists out there are immediately hammered down, and have not been able to assail the content.

  I encourage you to post links on other boards and embed the videos where ever you see fit. The information war is on.

  Dispelling JW Myths: Governing Body

  by AuldSoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  according to jehovah's witnesses, acts 15 shows a gathering of older men in jerusalem convened for the purpose of deciding about the issue of circumcision.

  they teach that this gathering demonstrates that the older men in jerusalem exercised doctrinal authority over the congregations throughout the known world.. let us examine, from the two perspectives of luke and paul, what really was going on.

  during the course of the discussion we will examine peter's testimony as well to decide whether god was using this group of men as the ancient version of the modern day governing body.

  Big time watchtower art dept. jest

  by cultswatter in

  2. beliefs

  look at the following nonsense.

  look at this link http://www.word-sunday.com/files/b/passion-b/a-passion2-b.html.

  mark stated the crucifixion almost as an aside, since his audience already knew the fate of jesus, and since the methods of crucifixion were well known at the time.

  This picture just goes to show the ludicrous nature of the stake. On page 5 of this Watchtower is a black and white full-size of the same painting, showing the two criminals on stakes as well. They are hanging from their palms and there is no foot support.

  Being attached only by the hands and feet by nails would simply tear through. Is the Roman soldier below about to be drenched with blood when the nail goes in? How is the soldier supposed to have any balance when Jesus starts writhing in pain? How is Jesus supported when they put the nails in his feet? Two soldiers with a ladder each? All the weight will be on his hands--that won't hold.

  JWs have speculated that the impaled person was nailed while the stake was lying on the ground. Then the stake and person attached was placed in a post hole. Maybe, but this impale-in-place-on-a-rickety-ladder-while-being-hoisted-by-Roman-soldier is farcical.

  Denied re-instatement

  by MMae in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am curious: how many of you also experienced this, as i did?

  prior to my own experience i had never known of anyone who had "served their time," attended meetings regularly, and in everyway demonstrated a good heart, being turned away.

  but then, i guess i wouldn't have, would i?.

  Momz statement is correct.

  You will usually be denied on your first request. Writing a letter to request reinstatement is only the first step in "testing" you to see how you react to the rejection. You are expected to continue meeting attendance anyway. If you run away too soon, you obviously were not "honest-hearted," now were you...

  If you want to continue playing their game, I suggest a squirt of K-Y Jelly in each ear. Mind jobs hurt less that way.
