this was partly discussed in this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4853755331739648/these-common-jw-beliefs?page=2#!#5701815683252224 but i wanted to delve into the topic of yoga even further.. it seems watchtower have no clue what yoga actually is, or what it can achieve.

i myself dont practice yoga, but i do meditate and see the benefits of that.. here is an artical from watchtower 2002 with my commentary:.

I remember around ten years ago The Williams sisters had a reality show, on one episode I remember Venus's coach or whoever had mentioned to her about doing some yoga and Venus kept saying "my religion doesn't believe in it" or "I can't do it because of my religion!", she said it quite a few times as the woman was trying to convince her it would be good for her. Amazing how they stand up for Jah's principles and probably haven't stepped foot in a KH in decades.

HA the good life --Cart witnessing

on my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.

two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.

the two carts were a number of feet away.

ShirleyW

you should see them in the subway system, they're sitting down at least 4 or 5 feet if not more away from the cart, just gabbing away tearing up the other sisters in the Hall I'll bet, some stations they set up a table instead of a cart which allows five or six Dubs to get their time in standing around it, while they run their mouths as the people just pass by paying no attention whatsoever, what a racket, yet they think they're so blessed to be able to get so many hours in monthly . .SMH

Anyone Heard Any Good DEMON Stories Lately?

by Cold Steel in

i saw this recent account on youtube recently and wondered if anyone had any good spook stories?

haunted books?

ouija boards?

ShirleyW

I don't hang around with Dubs anymore so I'm not in the loop about the latest bright colored cartoon character walking down the aisle at the Hall cursing all the way, or whatever new thing some elder made up to keep the folks in line.

GrreatTeacher = Belmont Park has dark memories for me, certainly not for the races, but because I remember the assemblies we used to have there, I live 5-10 minutes from Belmont, but the only time I've been there is for the assembly, never saw a horse race, like all the times I've been to Yankee Stadium, but have never seen a sporting event

Would This Be Adultery?

by FedUpJW in

i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.

the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.

considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?

wondering what picture Outlaw will use for this thread !!

Sleep Habits

by snowbird in

this thread is inspired by a beloved poster who said he managed to sleep all through yesternight.. how about you, do you sleep through the night?.

each morning, around 2 am, it's as if a hand shakes me awake.. i became accustomed to arising at that time to take care of my semi-invalid mother.. she passed nearly 12 years ago, but my body?

mind?

ShirleyW

I guess I don't require to much sleep because I can tell you the rundown of TV shows, at least my favorites from midnight on thru the night

3am - Make Room Daddy 4am-HEre's Lucy 5am Our Miss Brooks, then I switch to the I Love Lucy reruns then after those Golden Girls comes on, then also at 7am the Sundance CHannel will sometimes run some good repeats like Mary Tyler Moore, Mayberry, Barney Miller, etc.

Sometimes I will sleep thru it all, but that's not too often

Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

ShirleyW

Only if I was told that's where I would have to pick up my jackpot winnings from Powerball or MegaMillions, but we know that will never happen (btw just imagine all the dubs that play the lottery on the side, can you imagine when they win the big numbers and their picture ends up in the paper?)
