i'm wondering if the majority here were seriously conservative squeaky clean dubs?
i took the whole thing very seriously.
there seems to be such a fun element here - i can't imagine everyone being those dull folk all decked out in their wt uniform with accompanying plastic expressions.. marilyn
OOPs Im in the wrong room. heee
I was so bad that everyone assumed I wasn't a virgin when I was around 14 or 15yrs old
I was so so bad I let them think it. The other girls would ask me advice about sex and stuff...ha ha ha ha ha
I was a virgin till I married at 19 yrs old. Of course he was a really worldie guy

WonderWoman and badwilli That just SOOooo sucks. I'm sorry you gave up so much
I'm pretty sure that some of Abraham's seeds were pretty athletic and they participated in more dangerous sports than basketball and football.

Idaho I was reading bits and pieces of the history of Of the Olympics
not to long ago in either the Isiah book or the Daniels prof book. knowing more about the orig Olym. made watching them on opening day more interesting. Back then the Olymps was a form of worship, really BIG worship. Oh and golf can be a dangerous sport, did yoy see "Blind Date"?

this is and excerpt from the 2/22/97 awake!:.
members of the christian congregation can do much to be of support to both the child with adhd and the parents.
by being reasonable in their expectations.
From what I can remember, That was why the women had bigger rest rooms, Otherwise there would have always been a long line of women waiting to go in and beat thier little ones.
I especially remember this one, I still /.;;p--0o08098-o when I think of her.She had a little baby, 2 or 3 mnths at best when she began the meeting training. She would be in there A LOT and she would always pull down the diper first and then WAK his little bottom till it turned red. Have not a clue why

I didn't see it for myself in writing except for
the artical in one of the Watch Towers But,
the sister who informed me of this said that it
came DIRECTLY from the "GOVERNING BODY OF ELDERS"
and all the other sisters in the area were in
complete agreement with that.
I have been studying martial arts for going on
my ninth year now and I was told that I would
YES have to stop before I could be baptized.
But at that time I was under the impression
it was because of the "spritual", xcuse me,Karma
that surrounded it.
Then when the parasailing thing came up, well WoW
I know of some JWs who are very actively involved
in sports still but honestly I thought it was
because they had celeb status so they got more leway

thinking about all the things that really bugged
me about the WTs. One of the last things I heard
the society added to their list of do DONot's!
was Most Sports!?!! Especially the really fun ones.
I was at a book study a year or so ago and the
sisters were talking about some sport activity and
it prompted me to mention that my son wanted to go
parasailing. I was thinking of asking if anyone
new anyone that does that because I new nothing
about it other than it looked really cool.
Then I noticed they weren’t really smiling anymore
and one of the sisters directed all her attention
to me and began telling me (like I was a little kid)
“You know, the society frowns upon any kind of
sport or activity that is reckless and unnecessarily
places your life in danger” “Some sports are listed
in one of the awake magazines”(I think)”and among
them listed right at the top was parasailing”
“Their view on the subject is that Jehovah gave us
the wonderful gift of life and by foolishly and
recklessly putting our bodies and even our lives in
harms way only for a good time is being selfish and
disrespectful to Jehovah, and as true Christians we
are obligated to head the advice of the GB because
its through their knowledge and guidance we are able
to remain in harmony with Jehovah”
I think I was dumbfounded for several minutes.
I think the last thing she said about it was”
of course you are not baptized yet so you’re
free to decide for yourself what is best for you”.
But if you were baptized now you could count
on the brothers wanting to discuss this with you”.
Or something like that.
BOY! I don’t remember Ever someone telling
me I couldn’t participate in most sports!
Except maybe my mom, when I was three!
How a bout that. I wonder if the society
has filled all the animals in on this?
Sorry bears, no more wrestling, you could get hurt”
Any sports buffs here?
Has anyone been told they couldn’t ski anymore????
What about golf?
Is that still ok?

have peeked in for the past several months and find this a very diverse (kind of) and interesting group.
i'm not an ex anything, (not jw either...if that's ok)... but i've learned a lot from you.
hope to be able to bring another point-of-view that can be at least half as interesting as most of yours are.. poetic overview of me (if anyone cares):.

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride!
