I actually kept my new year's resolution this year and am 35lbs down and counting since Jan. I don't "diet" per se, but have made a commitment to eat only foods that are packed with nutrients. I still have an empty calorie here and there, but they are few and far between. Also, keep your fiber intake up...at least 25-30 grams a day. Exercise is key too. Try to get your heart pumping for at least 30 mins /3x's a week (more is better). If you have fat to lose incorporate some weight training into your workout.

STUDY: Hallucinogen in mushrooms prompts positive changes in people
by Elsewhere inhttp://www.physorg.com/news71808185.html
scientists show hallucinogen in mushrooms creates universal 'mystical' experience
using unusually rigorous scientific conditions and measures, johns hopkins researchers have shown that the active agent in "sacred mushrooms" can induce mystical/spiritual experiences descriptively identical to spontaneous ones people have reported for centuries.

Thanks for posting this...I've been doing research lately on psychedelics (specifically ayahuasca). Seems they do more than just make you "high".

- Any of the "[insert fun thing here] is it for Christians?" articles
- Any of the articles on "Rock Badgers" and such. I mean I like animals but c'mon!
- I was more embarrassed by the cover "art" on the magazines than the articles themselves. I did field service in "the ghetto" so the WT's with so-called "thugs" on the cover were particularly embarassing (for their gross inaccuracy!)

A partial email from a j-dub regarding the convention.

Another thing that I came away with was the realization of how close we are to the end of this system it was brought out that the great tribulation will strike suddenly, without warning, and that we should not allow ourselves to be side tracked by anything, and to keep focused on seeking first the kingdom and drawing close to Jehovah, and if we do that He will make sure we will be able to get through anything.
There's a contradiction here...how does one realize how close we are to the end when it will purportedly come "suddenly". If anything, it should come when they least expect it. When everything is fine & dandy in the world. Give me a break.

You people are all the same....(dispelling myths about apostates)
by beautifulisfree ini know you are sick of that phrase by now....because jdubs use it all the time when referring to 'apostates'.
they come on this forum or (people you know) generalize 'apostates' as though we are of different class...that we are no longer human.
they are obviously fed these little tid-bits about 'apostates' from the society since i am sure they don't personally know many.

Below is a blow that was thrown at me last week on another (totally secular) discussion board. It's basically what I call the "textbook" definition of apostates (in the JW mind only of course). I take most offense at the "goal is to turn as many people away from God as they can"...as if I stay awake at night thinking of ways to foil them. Also the "couldn't hack it" part is quite annoying as well. Just last week my son was talking with my [current JW] aunt and she tells him "your mom got tired of serving Jehovah". I never elaborated my reasons for leaving to her, but my son well-knows I left for very specific reasons. They are way-too presumptuous for my taste. Brain-dead fools!
Apostasy.
For those who don't know what an apostate is. It's an individual who once knew the Truth of God's word and who decided to serve Satan instead.
Their goal is to try to turn as many people away from God as they can. They want people to live the life they're living. Look at their life, filled with everything vile.
They couldn't hack it, couldn't meet the standards so they try to stand int he way of those who fight to stay in. Always gats to bother someone not bothering them.
Couldn't hack it.

Just returned from the 2006 (Armageddon's here) "Deliverance At Hand" DO
by apocalypse inhow much can one person gag?
it is interesting to note that clive thomas (canadian branch office) spoke during his part in such a way as to betray the fact that he was personally aware that what he was saying was false.. it's one thing when a local onion gets exuberant about parroting the gb's nonsense.
it's quite another when a bloodsucker like clive comes from the branch and does a "bait 'n switch" the way he did.

I hope the resolution includes internet discussion boards in addtion to chat rooms (I can easily see a JW finding this loophole in the resolution language)

The DaVinci Code -- overreaction or a chance to rumble?
by cruzanheart inhere's an excerpt from a bbc.co.uk article i just read:.
"the holy koran recognises jesus as a prophet.
what the book says is an insult to both christians and muslims," maulana mansoor ali khan, general secretary of the all-india sunni jamiyat-ul-ulema, told the reuters news agency.

Definite overreaction IMHO...it's a work of FICTION...I truly don't understand all the fuss.
