Vegetarianism

by rezamichael in

why aren't witnesses vegetarians?

it's well known that adam and eve were vegetarian.

there was only ever a concession given by god to allow meat eating after the flood as there was no vegetation so it was forced and rather a temporary fix up rather than a new permanent diet.

The problem with people like you rezamichael is that you give vegetarians a bad name and cause people to think of us as a bunch of crack pots. I haven’t eaten meat for 22 years with the brief exception of when I first became a witness at sixteen. I was told that vegetarianism was wrong and I was putting myself in a position of being superior to God as he had judged it to be ok to eat meat. I dutifully tried to eat it but was physically sick as the idea repulses me. I guess that was my first act of rebellion as I remained a veggie for the remaining 17 years that I continued to pursue that faith. Anyway my thoughts are that you should live and let live. I don’t want to be told what I can and can not eat so why should I do it to someone else. I am more than happy to cook meat for guests who want to eat it even though I would never eat it myself. As has been said there are more serious problems to worry about get a life!

Sad emo,

Love the “hoody” connection! Not sure if we can work that in for the playgroup, would be great for a youth club!

We also are thinking of a new name for the playgroup as at present we are just “(village name) playgroup” so no help there.

Confession,

These are 3 & 4 year olds!!!!!!!!! But thanks for the laugh!

Fantastic!!!!!!!!! Not sure I can use it though!

We need to acknowledge (for silly reasons) that a few involved are “friends of” or “extras”

So, something better than “ playgroup and friends do robin hood”

Please help I am rubbish at this!

Should you keep an abusive marriage together for the sake of the children?

by Golden Girl in

after reading another post this came to my mind.

you hear this so often.

stay together for the sake of the children.

pudd

I think this is so extremely complex. Sometimes abuse is obvious, sometimes subtle. Often it is obvious to everyone other than the family involved. A woman can convince herself that it would be wrong to remove a child from a dad that they love, even when she knows that the situation is not ideal. Sometimes she may even convince herself that it is all her own fault and if she could just try harder?. And as most of on this board are familiar with, sometimes couples believe that for religious/moral reasons they have to stay, for better or for worse. Not to mention the ?I love him/her? feelings and the protective instincts, ?how will he/she cope? Will he kill himself??(A common threat by abusers.)

I think it is so easy to stand back and say, ?No way should they stay together for the children? and while in theory I know this is true as do we all. If you happen to live in the middle of it, it is not so cut and dry.

Hilarious rumours!!!

by gerbils in

jw
friends

when my father stepped down from being an elder in the congregation, due to him wanting to spend more time with the family, a lot of people were very curious as to why he did.

the shocking rumour started going around as to the reason why- my dad had been caught having gay sex in a car with another brother, and they were caught in the act by a pioneer sister in the congregation!.

on hearing the gossip dad actually couldn't speak for a whole 1/2 hour!

pudd

Many years ago when I was pioneering and single, a young man who was studying and regularly attending all the meetings took a romantic interest in me. Being the ?good girl? that I was I told him I thought he should first concentrate on his relationship with Jehovah but maybe after he was baptised if he was still interested we could see what happened.

Well time past and I found myself involved with a ?worldly? guy and clinically depressed. I ultimately chose to ?temporarily? (10 years so far and counting lol!) come of pioneering and agreed to a short stay in the psychiatric ward.

Well the rumour mill started and it turns out what really happened was that I had found out that the guy who was studying was now planning to get married to some other sister (not in the KH) and I was so devastated that I had tried to kill myself!!!

Needless to say I had kept my real boyfriend very quiet, but I was horrified to realize that people would think such a thing. My friend who told me what they were all saying kept braking sown in fits of giggles as she was telling me!
