  well, it's getting near to the time that i determined to begin a weight loss program again.

  (after the holidays).

  i am really sick of diets, and hate the idea of it all, but i have to do something.

  I needed an exercise that would get me moving, and yet be gentle on my joints. Believe it or not, hula hooping is a great exercise! Gets me moving, is great for the lower back, and it has given me curves I never thought I would have.

  The Walmart variety do not work, even as a kid I could not make them go. Some upscale health clubs are starting to advertize them, but I made my own. Go to a hardware store and get 12 or 13 foot of 3/4 or 1 inch black underground sprinkler hose, and a connector. Hook the ends together, and voila! To make the hoop slip proof, I wrapped some cloth tape around it.

  It does take a bit of practice to make it fly, but that is the fun! It is so goofy, that one can't help but smile while learning. Music makes it fun, too. Just be careful the first week. You will have sore obliques, and paunch. After a few weeks or so, you will see a change! Also, your back will be more flexible.

  Here is a good intro site that talks bout hooping - http://hooping.org

  ?we should obey every direction that the faithful slave gives us, because Jehovah is using them.

  ...All the better for the FDS to use you. This is a stick up.

  I Love It When The Words Are Wrong..

  my old boss was forever going on about us being careful "not to set any presidents".. hl's friend's ex-hubby needs some surgery on his knee to have "his cartridge removed".

  she's signed an affy-david as part of the divorce process.

  meanwhile he spends his time in night clubs watching the cadbury.. jenny, the pub's landlady, took the quiz a couple of weeks back and questioned us about "far from the maddening crowd".

  Not intentionally at first, and not to elders at the hall. I married into a family with several elders as brother in laws. We used to have family dinners once a week. Brother Super-fine would always leave a room I entered. After a while, it became a game to me, let's see how quickly Bro. SF can pick up his plate, cup, etc. and vacate the room. My personal best was moving him thru 4 rooms. Extra points if he had one of his kids to move too. I was an unbaptized publisher at the time.

  How did your congregation react when you moved out on your own?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i left home at the age of 21 - the time was right and i needed my space and independence.. a few witnesses had their own opinionsabout my move.

  there were some old timers that said the only reason you should leave home is because you're married.

  some traditionalists think you should stay home with your parents until you're married, as moving out on your own makes you selfish and too independent.. how did your congregation react when they heard you were moving out?

  The Secret Fault I Tolerated About Blood

  yes, i tolerated a secret fault concerning blood.

  i have never told anyone about it until this day.

  now i am telling you.. as i recall, sometime in the 80's (or maybe late 70's) we were told to check our pet's food for animal by-products.

  Being JW and Psychiatry

  by prophecor in

  in looking at so many post over time, i've come to the conclusion that so many of us as witnesses, seemingly have a predisposition towards emotional disorders and mental illness.

  just reading some of the post on suicide, i get the feeling that there is some subtle force that exhibits itself in the teaching in the kh that can have a tendency to draw this kind of energy out of someone.

  i couldn't see it while on the inside, now that i'm out ,however, i can see things so much differently.

  I have always wondered why any of the 5 PhDs I have seen were not able to help me connect the dots. Especially since all i did was bitch bout my in-laws. Anyway, finally looking for answers was empowering...and validating.

  If he keeps doing this, he will grow up to be a Dead Head & follow Phish.

  Who knows? Maybe he has lost his fear of Armageddon. Hopefully, he can replace that with some Widespread Panic.

  With so many from within and out of the org seeking psyc treatment, is it unethical for a provider to tell the paitent that they are in a cult? Or to at least ask the paitent if their association with their 'religion' could be causing them trouble? Is there any legal liability for a provider?
