i am a dyed in the wool carnivore.
i suffer from cheese addiction.
lobsters are mercilessly boiled alive.. but after watching this new documentary called cowspiracy on netflix, all that may change.
marmot, I don't have the figures to back it up but as a person who believes in man made climate change I disagree with the idea that a quarter pound of beef contributes more greenhouse gases than a morning commute (say half an hour).
The most they contribute are trace amounts of methane through their farting which is probably as much as human flatulence.

"Hi ! Thank you ! Hm, I'm not christened but I follow this religion. I study since 1 years. Yes because I don't really understand this term so I want to know a little more! Are you one of them ?"
Yes I am and so are almost everyone here. Feel free to talk to us even though your religion tells you to stay away from apostates. You'll learn a lot about the Witnesses here.

Hi Mandy. Welcome to the forum.
How long have you been a Jehovah's Witness? Is it all right with you to talk to apostates? Many people on this website are.
it's been years since i've prayed and the last one i prayed to was the god known as jehovah.
just wondering.

i am a current jw who is currently struggling to leave or stay, depends on how you want to look at it.
i have created a new blog, www.jwawoken.com to allow me to have an outlet for the cognitive dissonance in my brain.
Hi there and welcome.
there were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.
our former loving brothers and sisters have been instructed to think that, jesus likely spoke a form of hebrew and a form of aramaic.
(aid to bible understanding-103-105).
of course, there is no way to demonstrate the truth of that assertion or any other assertion about the languages that the common people of the land spoke.
many seek happiness externally and many a time assign others the possession of their happiness.
when they derive a sort of happiness from external sources, they dont feel satisfied, hence jump to the next and then to the next .... in contrast, jesus said gods kingdom (or real happiness) is within (entos) you.
this cannot be misinterpreted as jesus being the king of the kingdom was amidst them as jws do.

i do believe islam conflicts with constitution.
your thoughts.
James Mixon:
Plenty of Americans- many of whom are anything but ignorant of the scriptures of their traditions-are liberal Christians or liberal Jews, so it's not hard to find defense of the liberal versions of those faiths.
Both sides are willfully ignorant of their scriptures. Liberals for obvious reasons and conservatives when it comes to their own scriptures' relative benevolence to the poor.
But the idea that there is no authentic liberal Islam is fairly widespread in this country.
The idea yes, but the reality is that every organization or group with a few thousand or more members along with multiple generations from it's founding automatically fall into liberal, moderate and conservative camps. This is most probably due to psychological reasons.
"Islam will dominate the world", that's what I'm afraid of.
They can't.
i do believe islam conflicts with constitution.

James Mixon:
"I do believe Islam conflicts with constitution. Your thoughts."
So does the Old Testament. Does that mean that an Orthodox Jew or Christian that keeps referring to Judeo-Christian values should not be President?
I believe that it would be all right for a liberal Muslim to be President to the same extent as a liberal Jew because both do not abide by their own scriptures and are actually much closer to Secular Humanist values.
