  Flirting with going Vegetarian, anyone of you ever graduate from simply thinking about it?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  it's just a thought right now, but one of those thoughts where i have that itch.

  it's that same itch felt before i purchase something major.

  i'm just wondering what i might be getting into based upon others experiences in this regard.

  I quit!

  I went vegetarian, mostly vegan last January right after I ate all the crap I bought for the holidays. I'm really enjoying it. I went veg about ten years ago but drifted back to meat eating. I did lose weight and felt real good on it but back then there were fewer options as Wha Happened mentioned. Now it is pretty easy. When I first went vegan (mostly) last year I had a Vegas trip planned. We stayed at the Wynnn because Steve Wynn is a Vegan so he sees to it that his hotels have great vegan options. We had no problem finding great meals. If you like to cook it can be a lot of fun and makes the tranistion easier. There are so many good cook books out there. Here are some of the ones I like:

  Cooking Vegan for Carnivores by Roberto Martin. The Sexy Vegan by Brian Patton. Brian has some very funny videos on Youtube. Everytime I ask him something on facebook he replies..great guy. The Happy Herbivore, Linsay Nixon has some good books. Anything by Isa Chandra Moskowitz is wonderful. Cloe's Kitchen is great. The best way to go vegan overall is the way recommended by: Forks over Knives, Engine 2, Mcdougall etc.

  All of these people have websites or blogs. Isa Chandra's is the Post Punk Kitchen. If you are on facebook and type in vegan you'll find a lot of helpful information. Some good places to check out there are: Vegetarians in Paradise, Post Punk Kitchen, Sexy Vegan, Eco-Vegan Gal.

  PM me if you want to talk further about this.

  My Near Death Experience

  hi y'all, just wanted to let you know i was out for a stroll on my bicycle for exercise last week and got hit by a car 100 yards from my house.

  it was a hit and run.

  i got up with only minor bruises but felt really dizzy and asked one of my roommates to take me to the hospital as i was dizzy and felt i was going to pass out on the spot in the middle of the street.

  Sorry to hear of all your troubles Randy. I hope and pray that this is the end of them. That hospital sounds awful. It should be held accountable for their bad service and negligence.

  Whether you are df'd or not most JW will have nothing to do with you if you leave the organization. It's the price you pay for freedom of thought and being true to yourself.

  The Watchtower says that they have no membership so I've always felt how can they kick you out of an organization that you never really joined. If they say but you were baptized I would reply that the baptism was obtained under false pretences. They misrepesented themselves as a truthful organization that God select. They aren't truthful and it is easy to prove that God never selected them. They lied on the contract so I don't see why anyone would consider it valid.

  Just how I feel I'm sure not everyone would agree.

  One more thing as far as dfing goes I df'd the Watchtower. Not the other way around. And I highly recommend it.

  Sorry to hear what you are going through right now Punk. The Watchtower sure can do a lot of damage to families if someone in it doesn't play their game.

I told her how when she broke up with her husband and stopped going to meeting I asked my wife for her phone number and how my wife wouldn't give it to me. I'm sure it was because she felt I would corrupt her with my unjehovahish ideas. I mention this to 2nd cus last night and she informed me that when she left she tried to get my phone number from her JW family and none of them would give it to her. Because she is in Utah and I'm in California there wasn't much chance of bumping into each other.

  Thank you facebook!

  this has been a lousy weekend!

  in july 2009 my 20 year old nephew, ryan, died of complications from heroin and his best friend jeff neville spoke at the funeral.

  he gave a very emotional talk and said that he was going to work at getting off the stuff himself.
