  Is practicing Capoeira wrong/bad/discouraged by Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by aikichristian in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my girlfriend used to be an avid capoeira practicioner for over year.

  she has reaped many benefits from it: increased physical fitness, flexibility, some self-defense skills, and stress-relief.

  she enjoyed it.. unfortunately, an article came out in the spanish version of the "watchtower" ("atalaya" in spanish) essentially saying that capoeira should not be practiced because it has some spirituality stuff in it that was wrong.

  Spiritism is to be shunned.

  Lables aren't always useful, as you remind us yourself.

  Neither the chickadee nor the crocus are made in God's image, the way man is.

  to Junction-Guy [and the by-standers]:

  I was baptized, though I hadn't qualified properly. The elders in that congregation knew it, but said it was the only way they could help me. Since I was baptized, I and others called me a JW, and was even appointed as a Regular Auxiliary Pioneer. A few months after I was baptized, there was a JC. After a year or two, I was re-appointed as an RAP. After another 2 couple years, the local body removed their sponsorship from me as a publisher. Then I moved congregations and, after a few months, was assigned to the Pioneer Assist Others program and published while I was on it. Then there was another JC and I was removed again from publishing. After a while they allowed me to comment again. Then there was another JC in December 2005, and the announcement was made that "... is NOT one of JWs", validating the conclusion I had come to myself, that I should have be DF'd back in 1992, when the first JC was formed.

  It's hard enough to follow something in one's own life, so I'm not surprised if some can't keep everything straight, given the various threads and whatnot. Life isn't always easy to understand.

  We all need supervision. That's why everyone's accountable.

  When I feel I am meek, I will seek Jehovah.

  That pretty much sums up why Satan's world is in the mess it's in.

  They may have a false idea as to what false is. Humans are fallible, after all.

  I'm a Liar

  so, i'm downtown quite early the other morning while still dark and i see a man holding an awake.

  so, i pull over and wave him over.

  after a few words of cordiality, i ask him why jehovah's witnesses teach that jesus returned invisibly in 1914 when jesus himself said this:in matthew 24:.
