  Fat and metabolism

  did anyone see that 20/20 episode last week about medical misconceptions?

  one of them was that there are some people with higher metabolisms than others, thats why there are some super skinny people and fat people.

  the reality was very interesting.

  Hello and a BIG WELCOME!!
  Glad that you have decided to say Hi. Please stick around for awhile. Sit back and read some of our stories and you'll learn a lot about who we are and what we believe.

  There is a variety of people with differnt view points and backgrounds regarding the religion. Even though many disagree about certian things, we respect each other....that's the great part and something much different than what you'll find at the kingdom hall.

  Don't feel guilty for being here....you'll meet many TRUE friends in no time!

  EDITED TO ADD: May I ask what you are confused about? There are so many insightful members on this board that I know would love to help.

  it's been 8 years since i had to go to a meeting so i've forgotten alot of what i did myself, but add to the list what you did if you were a child made to sit still and in silence through the meetings and assemblies.. .

  i went on amazing journeys with the power of my imagination!.

  *recite entire music albums in my head.

  Ohhh my...many of you were very creative!

  I would usually just write notes back and forth between friends that were sitting by me.....

  Towards the end, I had back problems (no really I DID) and would get up and stand in the back of the hall to stretch & chat with other "sisters". It was an easy way to "people watch" too!

  Or I'd pretend to be helping a mother with her child and go to the bathroom. We'd just talk the whole time or play with the baby.....

  What are the most insincere things JWs say?

  by Spectrum in

  2. beliefs

  it really makes me angry when they say i love jehovah.

  they don't know what they are talking about.

  if they read with an open mind the carry-ons of this cruel mesopotanian god they would feel ridiculous and embarrassed for putting this god before their family, their children.

  "it's up to your conscience" ( the hell it's not!!! They TELL you what your conscience is)

  "Leave it in Jehovahs hands" then why do they DF their members? God can handel it in his due time......right?

  Yes... my husband got his "privileges" removed ( couldn't handel mic's or read) because he had started growing a small goatee.

  He was also counseled for having subtle blonde highlights.....

  situation ugly.

  long story short - adult children have refused contact with df'd father for a few years.

  (except for the initial obligatory hate letter full of references to satan and some disgusting name calling).

  All I can do is just shake my head.....
  
  I hope some day these little brats come to realization what they have missed out on. There is no excuse to treat a parent in such a way!!
  
  I agree with Finally Free:
  

  The cult may tell them to shun, but they are adults with their own brain, and as such they are responsible to accept the consequenses of their choice to obey the cult.
  

  They aren't worth your trouble....
  
  I'm sorry!

  The misapplication of the ever increasing light

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the favourite verses of the wts is proverbs 4:18 which they totally distort, as they often do with the bible, in a very casual and irresponsible manner.

  the verse there talks about the lifestyle of the righteous which is like an ever increasing light and juxtaposes it with the way of the wicked in verse 19 which is always like darkness where they can't see where they going and may stamble on obstacles along it.

  18 "but the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

  Hmmm.

  So if the light gets brighter - then does the dark get darker????

  ya know... i'm a bit amazed at times at how utterly out of touch with reality jw's can be.

  here's a little bit of a background of what's been going on....

  i've been having an on going issue with my jw family about my husband & i(and our 4 young children) no longer going to meetings and us having questions/problems with this religion.we are not df'd nor da'd (at this point) but have not been to a meeting in about 7 months and have been inactive for probably 3-4 years now.we haven't lived near my parents for several years so they have been a little "in the dark" so to speak as to us being inactive but we kinda were given a bit of "lee-way" since 5 yrs.

  I'm with Mouthy....at least you and your husband are on the same page. Things would be SO much more difficult if that wasn't the case. You have each other to lean on . From the sounds of it, you're doing a wonderful job raising your family and being happy. Don't let ANYONE make you feel bad about that....
  How horrible and sad that you had to be subjected to this kind of crazy talk by a relative!!! I'm so sorry!
