i was curious to see how many pagans were on the board and what form you practiced.
i myself am newer to the pagan scene and am studying witchcraft...something i secretly did when i was a teenage jw.
any way looking forward to hearing your comments.
Hi
I'm pagan. I'm currently studying with an Alexandrian Wiccan coven, although I wouldn't say I was necessarily "wiccan".
Blessed be,

i just read with interest an article entitled yoga - just an exercise or something more?
in the august 1, 2002 watchtower.. i know that growing up a witness i had always been told that yoga was related to spiritism and the occult.
however, with the popularity of yoga among the mainstream in recent years as a means to keep fit not as a means to find spiritual enlightment, i thought the society may have lightened up a bit.
OK this really p**sses me off. Why?
My 50 odd year old JW mother has numerous health problems, including angina. She attended a really good yoga class with a highly qualified Yoga instructor. I attended once too. Basically it was purely excersize - only a very simple relaxation excersize was done at the end and that was not meditation. They would stretch their body (pure and simple). My mother was enjoying it and it was the only real excersize she was getting.
Enter jealous, craggy old strict JW woman. She approaches my mother with old mag, showing that Yoga is devil worship. My mother was really upset. I tried to say that the type of Yoga that is religious is practiced by some, but that what she was doing was stretching. Would she listen? NO because of a bloody magazine. OK so now my mum doesn't excersize at all because cardio stuff is too tiring and dangerous for her. She walks the dog, thats about it.
My sister and I were really annoyed at all of this. She was not practicing false worship! she was excersizing.
What I want to know is if Yoga is so bad, are JWs going to eliminate all Yoga moves from their excersize routine? I don't know of any routine that doesn't involve, say, touching your toes. Or stretching up to the sky. Or stretching calf muscles. Yoga postures are found everywhere....under the guise of a warm up, or gentle stretching.
wails of despair .

on 2 recent occasions i have been joined for breakfast by 2 separate individuals, both ex-witnesses.
stunningly - to me anyway - both were absolutely appalled when, for my "choose any 7 items for 1.99" brekky i opted to include black sausage.
just love the way those black bits mix into the egg-yolk, mmm!
NOOO! YUK.
i know we just got a new format to post in, but why are our singnatures are not posting?
yes, why is the sig not posting?
Also, how do I use the emoticons? (I just get a smiley face only when I use the icon)

question for ex jws.......what do you really enjoy doing, now that you have the freedom to do it?
I enjoy freedom of thought. As a JW, I used to 'monitor' my thoughts 24/7. That lead to tremendous stress and even depression.
Now, I'm not depressed. I can read what I want, think what I want, and explore the entire world without guilt. Its absolutely fantastic.
I can be friends with anyone I choose.
