Food at the Proper Timeis a compilation of recipes from around the world submitted by the participants of the JW Discussion forum. Many of the contributors are ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses who are not permitted to associate with family because they have either left or been expelled from the religion. When leaving the religious community, most understand that their opportunity to sit with family and friends over a table and share food will be seriously limited or non-existent. Few realized how painful this lack of connection would be.
For many the JWD community has become the source of friendships, family and healing. When possible small groups have met in their local areas to enjoy the friendship, support and understanding from others who fully understand their losses. And one important activity is the sharing of food, sometimes in a local restaurant and sometimes at someone’s home.
This cookbook is another way to share this meeting together and connection to community. We have come together to share our recipes and in doing so, free ourselves from the man-made rules of the religion we once believed in. We have worked on this project with a couple of goals: to share fine food and friendship and to help support the discussion board where we meet from all over the world. Therefore all proceeds of this book will go to help support and maintain the JWD and to help defray expenses and keep the board active and growing.
