  when New Light is released from above, thus allowing just the page with the old view to be removed & repaced with the new page

  .

  Wouldn't it be easier to use disappearing ink?

  And let's not overlook the inevitable exercise/health/homosexuality connection:

  .

  *** yp2 chap. 28 p. 233 How Can I Avoid Homosexuality? ***

  Shun pornography and gay propaganda. (Colossians 3:5) Avoid anything that will arouse immoral desires. This would include pornography, certain TV shows and movies, and perhaps even fashion or bodybuilding magazines that feature lightly clad models. Change negative thoughts to positive ones. “Whenever I have homosexual urges,” says one teenage boy, “I meditate on my favorite Bible text.”

  *** g88 10/22 p. 28 From Our Readers ***

  Bodybuilding

  I had started to do muscle exercises so as to have a good physical appearance. I began to take hormones to develop faster (a common thing among weight lifters). I trained four hours a day. But as I developed physically, I became stationary mentally. Then I read that article (“Young People Ask . . . Should I Go In For Bodybuilding?” December 22, 1986). I never thought I would give up that sport, but now I realize the need to build my mind and not just my body. So I have given it up. Thank you very much.

  100# overweight

  diabetic

  high blood pressure

  a heart attack waiting to happen

  can't look at himself in the mirror

  hasn't seen his Johnson in a decade because of his beer belly

  Thank you, Watchtower! Such awesome advice you gave me 26 years ago. I'm so glad I quit taking care of my body.

  Awake 1973 banned Witnesses playing Chess..why?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are all articles from jehovahs thoughts or do personal biased views poison the watchtower articles?

  imagine a brother who hates chess observing in discust two bethelites playing chess...would it be right to use jehovahs "spiritual food" to push your own warped view....yes!!.

  awake 1973 3/22 p.12 chess- "...the spirit of compitition between players can lead to unplesant circumstances...most families can keep comfrontations to the chess board...but for some the tension lingers long past checkmate...chess has been a game of war since its origin...a play substitute for the art of war...there is a danger of "stirring up compitition with one another" even developing hostility towards one another, something the bible warns christians to avoid..what effect does playing chess have apoun one?

  Because WT has an opinion on everything and that opinion will change frequently as it goes through its mood swings.

  Essentially it boils down to this: whatever brings a person even a small measure of happiness, even something as pedestrian as chess, WT will find a way to suck the life right out of it.

  WT takes a dim view on exercise as well, especially bodybuilding. So what's a fat f**k supposed to do?

  DJS: The only thing about these sisters that is difficult to understand is why they give praise to Jehovah after they win championships

  Jehovah likes tennis...he is the god of "love"

  Truly ironic, considering WT just recently stated this:

  Watchtower , February 15, 2013, p. 12, para, 18:
  "We benefit from balanced consideration of the history of Jehovah’s organization... Moreover, we do well to examine our history, learn from it, and plan for the future."

  .

  w12 1/15 p. 32 Preserving Gems From Our Past
  In Writing Archives, diligent work is now under way to preserve and document our rich and growing legacy. Photographs carefully held in the Archives could be considered part of our “family album.” Our early publications, thrilling first-person accounts, and priceless memorabilia are also among the gems held in the Archives.

  Like them [the sons of Korah], do you have a desire to study and recount the history of the earthly part of Jehovah’s organization? The more you learn about God’s organization and how Jehovah supports his people, the more real God’s Kingdom will be to you. -- w2012 8/15, p. 12, para. 5 - [Emphasis added]
