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?
The fact that there are no quality heavyweights anymore doesn't help,
this is true. Many times you tune in hoping to see a good fight and are forced to watch two scrawney mexican guys whose names you can't even pronounce duke it out.
hey keyser, you can get an emulator for your computer for free. Play Punch-Out and see if you still "got it." Do it for Mickey.
i 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.
praying discreetly is one thing, but praying out loud could mean that you're an asshat. Your faith is YOUR business. I'm trying to eat my onion rings over here.
Praying openly is only appropriate if your 18:1 horse just fell 2 lengths behind. Then, by all means, pray.
once again , i couldn't resist sharing this wt study article from this issue.
it was just too good, or bad - depending on your perspective.
you will see the use of fear and guilt in this information - laying it on witnesses heavy as the title says " christian families - " keep ready " indicating armageddon is so close - so don't get wrapped up in materialism.. right from the get-go in the 1st paragraph fear tactics are used .

Vachi, all those things that you mentioned make up the "spirit of the world".
you know what else makes up the "spirit of the world"? Sofia Vergara. nuff said.

MMA is to boxing as Nascar is to F1.
couldn't say it any better than that, mi amice. It always starts out like your gonna see a cool Street-Fighter, Mortal Kombat kinda fight with dudes spin kicking and what not..... but then it ends up being 5 minutes of two men hugging and caressing on the ring floor, nuzzling in each others necks. Mr. Falcon was not prepared for that.

unshackled - it was on sale. a pox on this economy. One day you and I will share a bottle of the finest scotch. And then we will proceed to shoot each others balls off.
Hey Terry, I'd be interested on your thoughts on the whole MMA vs. boxing thing. Which do you prefer and why?

Inkie - that's an interesting point. I guess I wouldn't consider boxing any more or less violent than some of "creation" (bullet ants, anyone?) But you do make a good point.
Terry - I wish that I had something better in my glass in which to toast your comment than Canadian Club whiskey, but it will have to do. Nicely said.
berengaria - So the JW's have a problem with boxing violence, but they have no problem whatever taking your family away from you if you make a mistake, or shielding pedophiles. Go figure.
devestating logic, right there, folks. Like being led into a southpaw left hook.

I can't watch boxing or UFC.
It makes me cry.
That's okay, Palm. You can stick to jell-O wrestling.
Morbidz, I've heard that stuff too about gladiator fights. Unfortunately, there is a big difference between scoring points in a rough competative sport and actually BEING PITTED AGAINST ANOTHER MAN IN A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
J. Hofer - What exactly does the new book say regarding boxing?
dgp - Although I don't agree with your ethical standpoint on boxing, I do see where you're come from and respect that.
pika_chu - well said haha
undercover - you're right. It's amazing how things vary from elder to elder. Some go overboard and "strain out the gnat".
misery - God = Tyson, world = Robin Givens
unshackled - it is sort of a secret pleasure of mine. I love watching the Friday Night Fights. Occasionally you get some good matches. I broke out a NES emulator recently and tried Punch-Out..... couldn't get past the second Piston Honda. Fail.

Anywho, what is the deal with JWs hating on boxing? I even heard that you can be in big trouble if it was found out that you watch boxing. Now if this is the case, then why do JWs at times use boxing illustrations, likening our spiritual battle to how a fighter must prepare and train. (Or am I the only one who's ever heard of this?) I've had at least 2 CO's who go up there and give talks where they make some illustration pertaining to the ministry where they mention how they "used" to enjoy boxing when they were younger. They are always careful to state how this was when they were "younger" and now they have the peace of Christ. And didn't Paul write something about likening our spiritual warfare to boxing or fighting or something?
Give a shout out if you think boxing is awesome and this is just another thing that JWs blow out of proportion.
Also let me hear if you've ever gotten to Tyson, let alone beat him. I never got to Mike because Mr. Sandman always made short work of me.
