SHOULD JWS PLAY FOOTBALL? (page 2)

Interesting quote Blondie, I don't remember that. We all used to watch all the college games on that day, and a whole bunch of us (elders included) got together every year for the super bowl.

Blondie that was a definite revelation to me. I have never heard any jw condemning the college bowl games or especially the superbowl football game. The superbowl was always a jw party time / get together.

This is a perfect example of "guidance" from the faithful and discreet slave that the majority of the flock has never read or know about.

Open mind

There's an old Bethel joke that NFL stands for:

Not

For

Losch

Apparently GB member Losch thinks JWs shouldn't even WATCH American football due to its violence.

I hope he replaces Teddy as has a lot of pull.

We had one CO that loved football - always accepted a free ticket to a game.

Then the next CO gave talks about how no one should go to or watch the games.

Every 3 years, it's a new High Priest, with new rules.....

I think the WT need's to ban sports, all sports! My sil and daughter are both coaches, they love their job. If the WT bans sports again, that would be enough to make my family members leave the WT!

I know of many jws, elders included, who had superbowl parties. Evidently, they didn't apply that tidbit to themselves or their friends. I actually saw few jws demonize sports probably because men tend to be in control of the jw rules. Now when it comes to required the wearing of pantyhose, that is different.
