I stopped a few years ago - i also refused to wear the stupid JW pins everyone was making and giving out. I chucked 5 of them in the trash when a brother gave them to me for the family.

I think the WT not coming out and saying the Football is not christian is a giant hypocrisy.
We hear all the time about how Jah hates violence, and that kids playing violent video games is unchristian.
Or how watching Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings is demonic.Really?
Video games and books and movies like Harry Potter are FAKE. NOT REAL.
The latest long term study show that there is NO correlation to violent video games and increased aggression or violence.
But Football is REAL and very violent. It is a 60 minute game in which about 10 minutes are dedicated to actual play, in in that short time how may injuries do you see? Football players have a significantly shorter life span, they acquire neuralgic diseases significantly earlier than the population.
Football is violent - promotes violence and aggressiveness (go to a game - watch one with friends - play it with "brothers")
I agree with Malcolm Gladwell and the overwhelming statistics.

Watch fooball or dont watch fooball - but dont be the Moral Police and not call it out while calling out Disney, or Harry Potter and the like.

I think its funny that people don't see Ruth as a Gold Digger. Like in talking to Naomi she would not have found she had a rich relative. And like it would not cross her mind that she could change her life by sticking to the old nag to get close to Boaz. And like she snuck into his room to warm his feet, and not to have sex with him.
During the BS lesson on that - did anone notice the AMAZING contradiction in paragraphs 17 and 20?

Why does it seem to be unhappy people who are attracted to the JWs?
by new boy ini have had time to think about this........... i was an attendent for many years.......... and looking up and down the rows at every family that was seating there in the khs........... no one was happy!.
i think of my mother (who brought this religion into our house)......she was one of the most unhappy and miserable people you would ever meet!
she was a spiritual orphan with few friends and no real family to speak of.. she got the "good news" back in 1950, that "the world" was a bad place and god, would soon be killing most everyone......she was thrilled!...............

Not only unhappy, but predominately poor or lower economic class, with very little hope of improving life status.
Almost always uneducated, and low information people. Thats what I have noticed in the past 10 years.
I don't know 1 college grad with a decent career who has converted in at least the last 10 years in my area.

Living as Christians at the C.L.A.M this week
by Truthexplorer inthis weeks meeting under the section - living as 'christians', starts off with 'repentance makes a difference', which is a talk given by an elder taken from w06 11/15 27-28 par 7-9. in a nut shell it discusses those who have been disfellowshipped and then show repentance.
it then goes on to discuss reinstatement and how a certain amount of time must pass by before this can take place.
it makes the following point in the paragraph.. 'a disfellowshipped person is not automatically accepted back into the congregation after a certain amount of time has passed.

So far I see no correlation to the CLAM with how to actually follow the lifestyle of Jesus. Do any of you?
