Did You Miss Playing Sports?

how many of you missed playing sports in school?

the wt was merely trying to keep us from committing suicide.... how loving.take a look at this fear mongering :problems with sports today - g91 8/22 p. 5. .

"people used to argue that sports were of value because they built character.... such arguments sound hollow, even hypocritical.. .

I was a 6'2" freshman in high school. I topped out at 6'4" as a senior. I really wanted to play football. But, of course, I couldn't. You can't teach size and I had that. I'm not saying that I would have gotten a full ride scholarship to a Division 1 school, but just based on my size alone, I may have gotten a look from a Division 3 school at least. Football was/is huge where I'm from with many colleges always scouting. Who knows?

Did you at one time Believe-that you were not going to die. Does your still in JW spouse still believe?

by pistolpete in

this magazine says it all!.

and many of the older jws believed at one point in their life that they would make it through the great tribulation and into the 1000 year reign of christ without dying.

which is why so many jws stayed in so long.. is the main reason why jws ignore all the child abuse, the end of door to door service, and the closing of kingdom hall for almost two years----because they still believe they will not die?.

My Name is of No Consequence

I believed it and my JW (former) spouse probably still believes it.

found out on fb friday .

not sure if anyone else found out, but i take long breaks from the exjws movement.

had to do a serious search for her name, because she wasnt as active on jwn anymore...not sure how she passed but her sister said (according to another ex jws) that she had been sick for a while.. i met her once here in milwaukee, had a great time hanging out with her.
