  Going Veggie

  when i was jw, i didn't know any vegetarians.

  they had the teaching that god had allowed us to eat animals, so we just eat animals.

  no questions asked.. just recently i started to consider being vegetarian.

  When you've been raised eating meat everyday, it's hard to change your lifestyle and cut out meat. We did, because we learned how bad meat is for you. Not only is meat full of hormones, chemicals, etc., it is also hard for our bodies to digest. It sits in our colons and p utrefies, causing our body's PH level to become acidic....leading to disease later in life (namely colon cancer). It also releases poisonous toxins that cause all kinds of physical problems.

  It's a challenge trying to come up with recipes that are meatless, but it's worth it. My husband & I feel better since we cut out meat. After all, your body is the only one you've got.....we choose to take care of ours.

  How many?

  i was wondering how many non-jw's (like myself who have never been a jw) there are on this board?

  i've found this board to be of great help & support because our son is currently being brainwashed into the cult by his wife and kh members.

  i was just wondering how many other people are in the same boat as myself.. also, are you making any headway in your loved one's life?

  Hi Choosing Life - no, he has not been baptised yet. And I have been AGONIZING over whether to send him anti-WTS information or not. We have had conversations face to face and I've tried to LOVINGLY tell him the falsehoods of the WTS, but with no success.

  I have to close our store now.....but will check back later......

  Hi Poppers - yes, it is a fascinating place. I find it kind of therapeutic....and it helps me deal with the whole thing somehow.

  BFD - So sorry about your mom shunning you. That is such a horrific practice!

  Hi BFD,

  Thanks for posting.

  Definitely his wife. She married him before she was baptized about 5 years ago. Ever since, she has been putting pressure on him to join. I think she finally gave him an ultimatum......"either join or lose me".

  So, as one poster told me......he's probably more afraid of losing his wife than he is of joining a cult".

  Not really interested in the NUMBER of non-JW posters. More wanting them to talk about their individual situations. ie their story, sucesses, concerns, etc.

  Thanks,

  Also, are you making any headway in your loved one's life? Are you being sucessful in creating any doubts in their mind about the WTS?

  Thanks,

  Thank you, Junction-Guy. I appreciate the info. Yeah, I guess that would be a lot of JWs all in one place! (Scary!)

  So...regarding the District Assembly. Is there just ONE meeting place for this Assembly in the country? And Witnesses from all over the country come to it?

  Also, can a person ONLY be baptised at an assembly?? Or does each individual KH do baptisms??

  Thanks,
