  2. current

  every year this news item was published in the km.

  but i've noticed that i've never heard of it anywhere else, ever.

  how do most young men in the world know that they're supposed to do this?

  Yoga?

  i never have been able to get a satisfactory answer to my yoga question (even though now it's irrelevant to me, but i'm still curious): .

  does yoga have religious elements?

  would it really violate a jw's belief to practice it?

  Did you understand doctrine when you were "in"?

  did you ever actually understand most of the doctrine when you were a jw?

  or did you think that you didn't understand it because you didn't study enough?

  that's what i thought about paradise earth.

  your memories of COs?

  by halcyon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i keep having this memory, and i don't know why it recurs.

  i remember sitting down with a co one day, one of my last years there, in the back school of the kh, and i don't remember if i was out in fs that day or if it was after a meeting, and i don't remember my "status" in the hall at the time, but apparently i was "weak" because he was trying to encourage me.

  it's quite possible that i requested a little chat with him after a bookstudy.
