There was a time when the bethelites™ in my hall used "Flip" instead of "F*ck" an awful lot. It sounded really stupid when, before and after meetings, you could hear the word "Flip" or "Flipping" coming from several different directions. They used this word enthusiastically until there was a talk from the platform about using substitute swear words.

Just a thought ... your body may have gone into a state of emergency and is thinking it is starving, due to the change in your eating habits. Therefore, it is now storing fat. It's an automatic response. Perhaps you should up your use of fat a bit (the good kind, such as olive oil, canola, and low or no-cholesterol salad dressings), and you may find it works a bit better.
good luck with it! And keep up the healthy eating, give it time. RIGHT ON, GOOD FOR U!

I use canola and olive oil, but very sparingly. I little more probably wouldn't hurt. On the plus side, I'm feeling much better, and have a lot more energy. Maybe I need to increase the physical activity.
I wonder if typing faster would help?

Do you acknowledge their nastiness? Or do you do something back to inflict pain on them?
I say inflict a little pain. Aren't they the ones who approve of the "rod of discipline"? Maybe it's their turn to learn something from it.

"Unfortunately, consumers are still not eating enough fruits and vegetables, which are better for you from an overall nutritional point of view due to their higher content of vitamins, minerals and fibre," Vinson said.
I adjusted my diet about a month ago. I'm eating fruits and vegetables every day now when previously I had almost none. I'm eating whole grain breads and cereals and have cut back my intake of red meat to once per week instead of every day. Instead of regular eggs I eat the stuff from the carton with substantially reduced amounts of fat and cholesterol. I have turkey strips instead of bacon or sausages. Instead of burgers and fries with gravy for lunch I now bring salads with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms and red peppers to work. No salad dressing either! I don't add sugar or salt to anything. No more snacking. The result??? I GAINED 10 POUNDS!
I won't give up the coffee though. I did it once and I was ok. Or I thought I was. Everyone else thought I was getting too cranky.

I was invited to my younger sister's wedding, when I said I would be happy to attend they quickly inforned me that I wasn't welcome. So WTF!? why send me an invite?
The purpose of the invitation was not to request your presence to the event. It was to remind you that you are no longer one of them unless you conform to their dictates.
Either that or it was a request for a gift. I'm sure a gift or some cash would not be unwelcome.
Remember people - If they don't want you then they don't deserve your gifts either!

I think that's a very unkind move on their part. They just can't resist giving you a poke to hurt you, but otherwise you have little if any contact for 4 years. I couldn't live like that - either I have a family or I don't. And if I don't there's no reason to communicate at all.
If I got a letter like that I'd be tempted to wipe my ass with it and send it back. I also like Elsewhere's idea of sending them a box of dead, well-ripened fish.

The Number One Reason Why I Am Not a "Watchtower Apologist"
by logansrun ina number of people of late have noticed the concilliatory stance i take towards the jehovah's witnesses -- both as individuals and even as an organization.
they have quite rightly pointed out that i appear to "defend" the organization and it's members from attacks that i feel are unwarranted or unnecessary.
too often, i feel, this forum becomes a gripe session in which mighty ex-jw throngs feel the need to paint the organization or individual jws as totally devoid of any good qualities whatsoever.

Stifled voices strain to cry out here after decades of cover up, repression and mind control.
Yes, and still we find those who would try to stifle these cries of pain and minimize the damage caused, much of which is emotional in nature. Such an attitude in itself reminds me of the way many elders handle problems in their "flock", telling people to simply "get over it".
Logical, emotionally detached arguments are excellent for presenting facts, but the emotional component cannot be ignored. It's a human attribute that differentiates us from a microchip or a cow grazing in the field. It is also the emotional component that is most severely damaged in many of us who are victims of abuse.
If it were not for that there would be no reason to be here in the first place. We'd have no need to seek out people with similar backgrounds.
