We were told at our Convention that "some" brothers and sisters exercise up to an hour or 2 a day. "Some" even join gyms. Then we were told that this would be "self-serving" and a real waste of valuable time better spent on theocratic things.
OUCH!
No wonder so many of us are out of shape and obeise.
i might be overweight, but i am in shape.
personally, i think that there are just as many fat worldly people as there are fat JWs.
Why does fat matter?
OMG! Some even joined gyms?! What were they thinking?
So while obesity has become a national problem(for the US anyway) and people are urged to get more exercise and eat better, "Godly wisdom" as distributed by the WTS says that proper exercise is "self-serving" and a waste of valuable time? Walking door to door is all the exercise we need then?
F***ing bastards...
Why does fat matter?
High blood pressure
Hidh clolesterol
diabetes
Heart disease
Results from being overweight, this is not to say the every fat person will have these conditions, but they are more susceptible to them

This is nothing new. My ex-brother in law was criticized for buying a rowing machine and staying in shape in the 80's. Knuckleheads...
*** w56 12/1 p. 712 Pursuing My Purpose in Life ***By far the greater proportion of the people in Glasgow live in tenement buildings (apartments, three or four stories high, without elevators). I spent many evenings and weekends climbing up and down those stairs. I certainly had all the exercise required to keep me fit.
You won't need to excercise in the NS...
so why now?
u/d (of the where do they come up with this crap class)
Why does fat matter? Well, it is as unhealthy as smoking and they don't tell people they have six months to get rid of their body fat or risk being df'd do they? It seems to me they would rather be sitting next to pedophile than a smoker. The wt will say that smoking is not in accordance with bible teachings, yet obesity and gluttony aren't either. To be reallly healthy they should be drinking their 6-9 glass of water a day, keeping away from high fat foods, processed foods, etc... It isn't really that fat matters or not, it's just the hypocrisy of the org that is annoying. carla
