I used to get a lot of crap for working out and taking care of myself.
"Body training is beneficial for little but spiritual training is beneficial for much" blah blah blah
I have also noticed that many elders dring like fish.
please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.
i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.
i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

obviously i'm having ex cult issues, family still in and a wife that's all kokoo for cocopuffs as well as our marriage isn't good.
i would like to leave her, she has never been the kind of wife i wanted.
anyway the stress is getting to be to much, thinking about things all the time and its effecting my work as well as otherthings.
Dump the wife and get on with your life. Then you won't need the meds. Your not getting any younger.
i know this has been talked about in the past but im new here..
They create more atheists than any other religion.
i won't be lengthy on this.
i have been in the org for about 20yrs.
now & woke up about 2yrs ago.
Welcome!
during my last meeting i was approached to see if i would be willing to switch to the electronic version of the km/watchtower.
i thought to myself "i'm way ahead of you here, buddy.
been doing it for almost a year.
Elder's wife: "He is the head, but I'm the neck."
some souls here may feel i was a little harsh.
if so, i am deeply sorry.
i was abused by a handful right from the start, presumably on the basis of the avatar picture (and 2001 vintage).. when visiting dubland, i often find that others start fights with me - for whatever reason, and i provide quite a supply of them - and when it doesn't quite go the way they expected, they cry persecution.
Norm Hovland; Farkel = Doug Checketts (R.I.P.); AlanF = Alan Feuerbacher and dozens of other excellent researchers and writers like Amazing, COMF, Quotes etc
It was these early researchers and contributors as well as PB, JANH & FOCUS that greatly assisted in my escape from the WT cult. I owe a great deal of respect & gratitude to these early appostates. I often wonder what ever happened to AlanF & Amazing.
My objective was always and solely removing the Whore. With maximum prejudice.
I like your passion. let's kill the WT Whore! Anything short is just allowing the Whore to continue to swell her pockets while raping the gullible.
i've been given permission to post news of our friend.. kate hasn't been very well.
not well at all.
i think much of it has been a delayed reaction to her df'ing, the general fallout when leaving the wtbs and family issues.. i just wanted to give you guys the heads up and give you a chance to show how much we care about her.. thanks for listening..
Best wishes for better health.

hello, i am focus.. yes, that focus.. is there anyone here who remembers me from the "good" old days?.
my sig may provide a jog to the memory.. my vision is undimmed, my views unchanged and my claws are sharper than ever.
the filthy old whore is to be taken down with maximum prejudice.. focus.
I remember you FOCUS! Back in the early days when JWs would try and come on here and defend their faith. It's rare these days. I remember you busting the balls of poster named 'FRIEND'.
I'm surprised you remember your password after over a decade of not being here.
Not sure if you saw the news the Doug (FARKEL) passed away recently. RIP FARKEL!
Welcome back.
i hope they lock this guy up for a very long time!.
