  Yoga: The Watchtower's View

  what a load of crap!

  i copied and pasted this from watchtower.org.

  this just goes to show how they will stop at nothing to maintain the mind control over the poor blind people who still believe.... yoga.

  I don't know much about Tai Chi myself.

  Hopefully, the WTS won't come out with anything about Tai Chi, but I do think it's possible. Do they allow other types of martial arts for JWs? I'm not really up to date on things like this. However, the little I do know about it is that Tai Chi is based both on the practice of Qigong and the various martial arts....in fact, it is the "martial arts" segment of Qigong, which has principles similar to Yoga.

  My daughter has been attending a Tai Chi class, and she has found it very helpful for both exercise and relaxation without being strenuous.

  I wonder, however, if someone was confusing you with James Penton, who I am told is a pretty strong leftist.

  No, no confusion. The whole "communist" thing was a supposed joke by one of the regular JWs who post there. He considers himself quite witty....he is only half right with regard to his wittiness.

  How has this board changed over the years?

  by Strawberryfieldsforever in

  because i haven't been here too long, i was wondering what this forum was like a couple of years ago.

  the reason i'm asking is that i've been noticing alot of new ones joining.

  has that always been the case or does it seem like they are increasing more rapidly now?

  The major change is that new members are no longer obligated to bring Krispy Kremes. (sigh) Damn, we had a good thing going there for awhile. (sigh)

  RHW, it still amazes me that the dubs continue to "go for" this never-ending "shat-stirring", just to be disappointed when it always winds up stinking.

  It doesn't surprise me at all. They have a very visceral need to identify "signs" that indicate that their lives (in the New System) will finally be able to begin. Right now they're all just treading water and not really living their lives.

  I find it so sad that people are willing to forego any dreams or aspirations for most of their lives in order to sell religious books and wait for God to give them their lives in some nebulous future.

  I think that this was probably a hoax. The Formulism site is gone, and has been unavailable for several days now. He got things stirred up, and then left.

  But it is funny to see the reactions of the JWs to this supposed "fulfillment of prophecy."

  it is with a sad heart that i am rolling on the floor and laughing my ass off.

  for those who have read know you's many threads where he played a jw apostate basher and fooled many of you/us it's now time to hand his ass back to him with a pretty pink bow on it.

  in his last thread i tried to find out if he was an impostor trying to mimic our old friend you know aka robert.

  So, let me get this straight......

  You threatened to leave.....and I missed it. You threaten to come back, or not leave, or whatever it is you are/are not going to do, and I almost missed it.

  I really need to start coming here more often. Anyone want to adopt me so that I don't have to work or have a life, and I can spend all my time here so as not to miss anything? Any offers? Anyone?

  What Motivates You to Expose the "Truth About the Troof" to Active JW's?

  by imallgrowedup in

  while responding to another thread, i was thinking about how so many of us talk about trying to help "believing dubs" out from the clutches of the wt, while at the same time, it occurred to me that we probably all have different motivations for doing so.

  as for me, i am motivated to get my parents out because i think they have the right to know "the whole story" - not just the candy-coated version the wt espouses, so they can make better decisions about how they want to live the rest of their lives.

  right now the wt makes all their life decisions for them - including whether or not they should look at what the "other side" has to say about them.

  I spent quite a few years as an inactive Witness just simply minding my own business and believing that, although I could no longer be a JW, it was probably fine for those who were still "inside."

  Then I began researching on the web and I joined a couple of boards. I read about all of the trauma that they had endured, which mirrored many of my experiences, and I was shocked and appalled. I also began to learn of some of the horrific experiences that former JW friends had gone through, and I knew that I had to speak out.

  If I could somehow, by relating what I experienced and what I knew to be true, prevent someone else from suffering in a similar manner, I felt that I would be accomplishing something useful. I spent enough time trying to get people into that cesspool....now I wanted to help some get out before too much damage was done.
