The fact that there are no quality heavyweights anymore doesn't help, either.
LOL, there's Klitschko, and everybody else who all shall remain nameless.

Mr. Falcon Asks......What's so bad about boxing?
by Mr. Falcon ini love boxing.
it kicks arse all over the place.
although it has lost some of it's prior glory and has waaaay too many classes that are televised and billed as "main events", it's still better than mma (sorry to any mma fans; i actually don't mind ufc, i'm just saying that i prefer traditional boxing).. anywho, what is the deal with jws hating on boxing?

Do people praying out loud in public disturb you?
by Mad Sweeney ini am sitting here in a study lounge.
when i got here around 15 minutes ago the only ones here were two young ladies and a young man, sitting around a table with their eyes closed.
the young man was talking.

Matthew 6:5 is ringing in my head like a cowbell right now.
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full."
There's times I'm out in public at a fast food joint or resteraunt, and I'll pray silently and discreetly. I figure its a private affair, between me and God at that point, there's no reason for me to share it will everyone else in the joint. Another thing I've been doing lately is simply just saying thanks to God and Jesus for my life and anything I'm partaking of on this earth since it comes from them. I don't say amen and I don't pray in Jesus' name because I'm not asking for anything. (John 14:13) I'm simply saying thank you.

I think that's the problem with uniformity falsely labeled as worldwide unity. They've regimented faith and turned worship into robotic functions lacking genuine oomph. Simply put, meetings are repetitious get togethers going through the motions. It's like being in prison and the guards open your cell and gruffly say to you, "You know the routine Misery." Institutionalized faith.

JW's have NO right to criticize the destruction of forests
by stillstuckcruz ing90 3/22 pg 8: deforestation is much the same.
humans enjoy the forests, depend on them, in fact.
but they keep killing off the equivalent of the players: the individual species of plants and animals, whose complex interplay is what keeps the forest alive.

Disclosure: I worked in the Brooklyn factory for more than four years. At peak production, we used 100 rolls per day. Each roll costs $1,000.
whoa......... 100 x $1,000= 100,000 $100, 000 x 365= $36,500,000 You're kidding right?

and who here, will not be watching the pacquiao/mayweather fight if it ever happens?
Man, I'm gonna be struggling bruh!!!!! I already have to force myself to turn off the average Showtime Boxing After Dark specials, and the MMA recasts, especially when Anderson Silva is fighting. I want to see the Pacquiao/Mosley fight. There's a side of me that feels that there's a possibility for an upset, but Mosely doesn't have the speed like he used to. I see Pac winning by decision.

I don't recall hearing too much about 'boxing is bad' while a JW. Think it was my father, a devout elder, that got me into it...though unintentionally I'm sure. Remember him watching Ali fights, and vividly remember watching Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Hagler. Though wasn't something he broadcasted, kinda one of those secret pleasures. Like drinking.
Hagler was robbed right?!?!? I still get angry over that fight till this day. When Tyson was at his prime, I remember going to JW boxing parties. Brothers would have all kind of food, and brew, kids playing, it was great back then, some very good memories. I can't remember when, but somewhere around when Tyson got knocked out for the first time, right around then the WT must have put out some magazine, or sent some letter, because the parties stopped at that point., Boxing still had some popular folks even after Mike's fall from grace, so there was no reason for the gatherings to stop. I can only imagine, the orders came from up high that boxing is a no-no for JWs.

I love boxing too, would have loved to try my hands at it, and I still shadow box for exercise purposes. To keep it real with you, it is violence though right? Psalms 11:5 is ringing in my head like a cowbell. "The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and anyone loving violence his soul hates." Not to mention, beating each other's brains out for entertainment doesn't excactly jibe with Christian love and all that jazz. I kind of lump boxers who talk about Jesus within the same group I throw rappers with violent and misogynistic rhymes yet wear diamond encrusted crosses, and hypocritical fundamentalist war mongers such as George W, and General William G. Boykin. Plus, what do sports like this say about us as people? Are we really that far removed from the gladiator days in the Roman empire? What message do sports like Boxing, and MMA send to our young people?
Granted the argument can be made that its curious that The Lord doesn't like violence, yet at the same time is preparing to unleash the biggest slaughter in the history of man if you believe in that doctrine. Also, God's chose people were pretty darn brutal when it came to their neighbors.
