this is news to me, despite somewhat following the steelers.. http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2015/03/11/steelers-free-agent-jason-worilds-announces-his-departure-from-football/stories/201503110155.
with all the surprises that were delivered around the nfl tuesday, jason worilds has pulled another.
the steelers free agent linebacker announced early this morning that he was leaving football.. and the steelers believe he means it.. steelers sources told the post-gazette today that they believe worilds, who became an unrestricted free agent on tuesday, is serious about walking away from football at the age of 27 to work for his religion, jehovahs witnesses, and that there is no hidden agenda involved in his decision.. i appreciate all of the interest from the organizations that have reached out to us the past few days, worilds wrote on twitter.
I used to talk to Guy Pierce (Governing Body) when he was alive....we had several private conversations over lunch....he loved football.
As a PASSIONATE football fan, I was found that really odd......... but he was a big football fan.
Now he watches from heaven judging NFL players, right?

got this bound volume from my dad.. .
The funniest thing about this....that as anyone was reading that sentence, they would have realized it was a lie........with each passing second staring at the page....... the reader was getting older.
They are so embarrassingly stupid.
when i first came to this forum i was of the belief that those of us who were still in due to family reasons were few in numbers perhaps one in a thousand in the jws.
soon i came to the realization that there were many more.
we have dozens of posters here who are mentally out but still in.
I believe there are many that continue to 'associate' due to family ties, etc........but they don't believe it, couldn't tell you anything about their 'religion'.....and aren't really hardcore 'apostates'....
......they basically just hang around ... they know it's absurd and will even tell you it is..... but just keep hanging around due to social of family connections.

married woman, 36, who had sex with 15-year-old schoolboy breaks down in tears as she is told she faces jail .
married mother of two broke down in tears at merthyr tydfil crown court.
And there were two elders present to lend support???????
Wow
have lurked here for many, many years.

my fate is to continue to play the game 'till death do us part because the very strong and tangled web of friends, family, business, etc.
i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.
the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.
the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .
I'd say the fact that he claims he 'just knows' he is going to heaven to judge us....... pretty much makes anything else he says a moot point.
Lunatic.
as a witness, i knew several men who attempted to grow beards.
when they did, and attended meetings, it did not take long to be talked to by elders and told, "as spiritual men, they should not display an outward form of rebellion.
" why was this a form of rebellion?
Sorry, shamelessly sharing a link....too lazy to type out my thoughts:

it's funny that in ancient times the jews had beard and had to grow their hair and the egyptians were the ones who shaved.
.
so shouldn't shaving be considered just like birthdays and holidays to the jws?
Haha.....I love it....YES, very pagan....I discuss it in my two blogs:
