Would the powers that be at the WTS say it's OK to glorify sports teams if they were named after books of the Bible?

Animalistic Qualities of God
by RubaDub inis it just me, or did it ever bother anyone else about the treatment of the names of organized sports teams in the publications?
especially in books dealing with revelation, they invariably make the point that sports teams are bad because they use names such as rams, cougars, panthers,etc.
the implication is that they are thus acting like "animals" and thus debased.

Bye the way, welcome to the board GotJesus!!
I don't see it as a contradiction. A holiday is just a holiday, a cheque is just a cheque. Both can be accepted as long as they don't conflict with whatever doctrine the old farts in Brooklyn(TOFB) are vomiting out this year. Most of the witnesses I know are sincere individuals who try earnestly to follow their leaders. There are exceptions to every rule.
The bigger issues at hand are the inconsistencies and contradictions handed down by TOFB. The more you follow this board, Gotjesus, the more of these you'll see.

What IS Gods name anyway?
by NikL ini am sure this topic has been brought up many times here but i don't always have the oppertunity to read all the posts so i am going to raise it again.. i went to the meeting the other day with my wife and this came up in the talk.
the speaker saying how improtant it was to have the right bible to get the most out of bible reading.
the right bible being the nwt of course because it uses the divine name which we all know is jehovah...or yahweh.

Putting Something Back Into Society Now You're Out
by Englishman ini saw the film "pay it forward" some weeks ago.
now, whilst most of us stoical brits will snort somewhat at the emotional hokum, nonetheless the movie featured many salient points, not least the theory that humankind needs to put something back into society if it is to retain it's own sense of worth.. as it happens, i agree with that theory.
also, since leaving the jw's, i find that i have much more concern for the welfare of my fellow man than i used to have.
