i'm a bible student and the i've been told that this issue depends on my conscience.. .
i am a jiu jitsu student and have been for a 4 years.
it's more of a sport.
The NT agrees bodily training is beneficial for a little...a little what I'm not sure.....shitgun
How quickly one forgets Jehover's timely reminders when he forsakes the gathering together with fellow cultists
Bodily training is good for a little ass, remember???
1 Tim 4:8
"For bodily training is beneficial for a little, but godly devotion is beneficial for all things"
Praise be to Jehover that I just joined a gym
threads, posts within threads...life events, doctrine, hopes, dreams, drama.....what causes you to post here?
what do you feel you get from it?
or give to others?.

Because YOU get it. Plus I've learned alot about interacting with other adults on a normal, non-JW wavelength being here.
i had heard rumors that bono was studying with the witlesses, so i payed particular attention to the lyrics in his new cd "how to dismantle an atomic bomb".. if you read the lyrics there is a lot that could be construed as religious, he's obviously being influenced by someone's version.. and i even caught a couple things i thought may have come from the green bible... but then i read the lyrics to this song: .
anyone know the scoop?

Hell, I thought he died skiing into a damn tree. Poor Cher.Gumby
LOL, Gum-becile
sometimes, i think my husband is much more church oriented than i am.
i still get upset when i attend church, but lately he has been putting the push on me for us to go back to his church where he grew up in.
he would like to start taking our daughter so she has a somewhat structured religious belief.
Do you and your significant other share religious beliefs?
Yep, me being an "apostate", and her a reg pio'ing, hard-core JW; we actually do share one core religous belief:
We are both fully conviced that the other couldn't be more wrong.
Your right, this doesn't make sense for furthering the WWW. Most everything has been moved to Patterson.
The pessimistic side of me would like to say that the WTS is building residences to lease out for profit, but I can't imagine how the GB could rationalize that to the R&F.
Almost doubling the population of DUMBO. Boy I would love that happening to the community I lived in
has anyone currently heard the radio commercial from cingular that mentions every holiday known to man in their ad?
it's funnier than hell.
it's sung kinda like adam sandler's "happy hanukkah" song.
Has anyone currently heard the radio commercial from Cingular that mentions every holiday known to man in their ad? It's funnier than hell. It's sung kinda like Adam Sandler's "Happy Hanukkah " song. At one point it mentions Scientology as "almost a religion".
At the end of the commercial a young boy says something to the effect:
"This will be the best Christma-hannu-kwanza ever!"
Man I wish I could get an .mp3 of this! Anyone hear it or know where I could get a copy?
lately he's very become impatient and rather explosive in temper.
i can't cover it up anymore, and i'm so tired of pretending in the organization.. need to leave this man and this religious organization in a hurry!.
any of you divorced because of the wtbts?
Hi DY,
Sorry for your situation. Don't ahve any advice since I have not gone through a divorce, but I my wife is a JW
I feel we love each other, but his loyalty for the WTBTS is far greater.
DY
I know. It's like having a third person in the marrige bond, except I'm the third wheel. The love is there, but love for the WTS is stronger.
In the past he's told me that if I left he would too and our marriage just wouldn't survive. He comes from a rough past with women, drugs, and heavy drinking.
DY
I have had a similar confession from my wife. If she left the WTS, she said that she wouldn't stay faithful to me. Makes you wonder what you're fighting for anymore.
Best wishes, and be good to yourself.
Paul

so, i'm finishing up an introductory yoga class in a couple of weeks and am contemplating which direction i want to go in after this (besides, of course, contemplating my chakras..haha).
between my work, "real" classes and gobs and gobs of glorious sexual experiences with beautiful women i probably only have time for one "extra" pursuit in the physical-spiritual realm.
i've enjoyed yoga -- it's worked well for the mind/body -- but am flirting with the idea of tai chi.
Paul said the physical torture he endured at his classes were the next best thing to S & M.shitgun
You red-haired, ass-less chaps wearing bastard, you'll pay for such disrespect!

Bradley,
I just saw your note about contacts.
I wear them during class. Some guys wear glasses. Some of the guys who wear glasses have "sport straps" to keep them on.
There are no punching or kicking moves, but at a martial dogo, there is plenty of rolling, falling and joint locks.

when did high-dollar prostitutes become legal south of the border?
I'm studying Aikido and would recommend looking into it. The Martial Art highlights being relaxed, centered, and using Ki [your uke's Ki actually] to execute moves.
You have an EXCELLENT opportunity to see the best practitioner of the Aikido in your area on 11/26-28.
There is a seminar here:
3652 North Lincoln Ave
Chicago, IL 60613
773-935-2334
[email protected]
It's taught by Mitsugi Saotome Shihan, who trained with the founder of Aikido. He's a 70 yr old Japanese man and practices amazing Aikido with no more effort than looking at your watch. It's all in the Ki. I went to a 2 day seminar a month ago, and it was amazing.
You would find it an honor to step into the dogo and observe a part of his seminar if even for an hour. Call them up and see if they allow observers. You won't regret it!
Best,
Paul
