  Yoga - Recent article

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  2. bible

  .

  i'm sure there was an article during the last year or two confirming that yoga is not for christians.

  i went back through a bunch of magazines but can't find it.

  Hatha Yoga, probably the most watered-down version of yoga, has been exported to the west and sold as merely an exercise to strengthen and tone, stretch and relax your body. In all actuallity, Hatha Yoga was invented to prepare a person for higher forms of meditation and yoga, to develop a persons body (inside and out) for more advanced meditation that would lead to higher states of conciousness and eventually enlightenment.

  In the West, we see everything in such simple terms. It's for stretching. It's for relaxing. These are just mere by-products of something much deeper. Yoga is a science to finding God. So in a sense, the Watchtower is right in not allowing people to do Yoga. They would find God eventually, and God would not be the Watchtower Society of New York. It would be the eternal "I", or eternal conciousness Indian sages/mystics have preached about for millenia, going all the way back to the time of the Vedas.

  From the responses regarding people who went to the Tacoma Dome and surrounding areas, there are a TON of people from Washington State on this board, from the looks of it more so than any other state.

  I wonder why that is? Is there something about WA that makes us unique?

  Happy birthday.

  Go to Hooters for your birthday. It's cool, trust me!!!

  I went there with two girls once on my birthday. It made me seem less desperate and i got more attention because of it. It was great. Although the buffalo wings were too spicy. But hey, who goes to Hooters to eat anyway?

  Who all went to the Tacoma Dome? That's where i saw these apostates.

  It's funny, but there are about 5 of us on this board that went there. I'm curious to see who they all are.

  At the risk of sounding like a active Dub, what were your congregations?

  Kid Rock

  by Sentinel in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  this is just my opinion, but i watched his performance last night, and cringed while he sang off key this was the first time i'd heard him perform, and about all he could do in key was scream.

  guess that just isn't my thing.

  i'll take the original recording artist any time.

  THE PROBLEM WITH KID ROCK IS:

  Basicaly, we're exporting white trash all over the world by selling his records. No wonder the French hate us.

  He is one ugly mother.

  Again, we are promoting white trash as if it's something to be proud of when kid rock is allowed to make records. I'm "strait out the trailer" too, and let me tell you, let's not promote is if it's some kind of cultural ideal.

  I don't even want to talk about his singing.

  What did you day dream about at assemblies?

  by lastcall in

  2. friends

  as a kid i would try to pay attention, but i just couldn't hang in there.

  if i didn't day dream i was going to go insane.. i used to create scenarios in my mind that i was a jw super hero.

  i had a special costume that was partially made of "flubber" that would allow me to bounce all over the auditorium.

  I often dreamed of how cool it would be if someone came running in with an automatic weapon of some kind, killing the speaker and all those bastards who got to sit up close to him.

  But what i really liked to do was fantasize about all the girls around. There were so many hotties!

  I was messed up.

  I'd like to say thanks to all those who "apostates" who bothered to do that. I'm sure it helped some people. I remember my brother wanting to go talk to one of them. They offered him a place to stay and an opportunity to get out of a "cult". I remember my JW instincts kicking in and physically removing him from them and taking him inside the convention in a headlock.

  Surreal...

  Panama?

  I'm not saying OIL didn't play an important role in why we went to Iraq. But honestly, if that's what we were after, why didn't we just get it while we there in 1991. We had ALL the excuses in the world.

  I'm guessing OIL was a big part of it. But ridding the world of Saddam is a positive no matter how you slice it. It paves the way for what was once the Arab worlds most prosperous/secratist state to be great again, and stable. If we can defeat the insurgents, the region will be much better off.
