  Liver and onions.

  now, kiddies, let me tell you about liver. You either like it or you cannot abide the taste of it. Why? Because there's actually a receptor on your tongue that if it's active (via genes ala dominant or recessive) you taste a certain enzyme in the liver that makes it completely unpalatable to you...bitter, nastiness. I am the only person in my immediate family that possesses this genetic trait...and my mother was of the opinion that you eat what I cook. I got sick on liver nights. After awhile mom stopped making me eat it.

  Even the smell makes me sick.

  didn't realize the actual link before.

  watchtower '85 15th july page 31 questions from readers.

  aid to bible understanding shows that the word apostasy comes from a greek word that literally means a standing away from but has the sense of desertion, abandonment or rebellion.

  well it's either for or against, isn't it?

  I should send that article to my mom...it would make her cry. She disassociated herself after her husband was wrongfully disfellowshipped. To this day she still believes in the Truth TM but is no longer interested in going to the kingdom hall and getting back in with the Org.

  muahahaha

  how many of you have armed themselves?

  i recently bought a high powered rifle and am presently buying a pistol for back-up.

  i have a cross bow, a compound bow, and several swords and knives, in fact i have been collecting knives for some time and have learned how to use them in defending myself and in taking the initiative in learning to defend myself.

  i am quite versed in using both the croww bow and the compound bow, it seems the goverment doesn't want to defend us and just wants to unarm us.

  I think the parents who have lost children; the families that have lost members; and the friends who have lost mates would love an answer...

  what about those loved ones lost to knives? Britian seems to have a heckuva problem with knifing deaths. Thing is...science builds a better mouse trap and nature creates a better type of mouse.

  I'm actually not a big proponent of guns. It's a cowardly way to hurt someone in my opinion. You want to hurt someone? Have the guts to do it with your own hands.

  It's like a detachment from reality. But then again, throughout history when men once fought with swords and hands and fists, they still killed...the wars still continued, and science began building higher-tech traps...and we still kill. So guns, knives, fists, bats...what difference does it make really? We're bent on self-destruction anyway.

  I can't wait for nature to create a better type of mouse. We're so going down. :)

  /end rant that makes no sense. :)

  my story

  by jaberwalkie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a difficult thing for me to do, i used to be a jehovahs witness 20 years service as a pioneer.. last thursday it was announced from the platform at my local kingdom hall that i was disfellowshiped.. it was a bit of a shock.

  i still have a deep sence of anger at what happened to me and its so unfair.. it started 3 years ago when i began to feel ill and i missed a couple of meetings.

  the elders were wonderful and came round and cheered me up.

  Welcome to the board Jabberwalkie!

  I'm so sorry to hear that this has happened to you. ::BIG HUGS::

  I think you need to ask yourself, what do I have to repent for? You did not thing wrong other than get sick! If you repent for something you didn't do, you will be excusing those liars...that's simply unacceptable.

  My mother, once a pioneer as well (now disassociated after they disfellowshipped my father for a nonreason - he was a Ministerial Servant) would say "Everything happens for a reason." I know it's cliche, but more often than not it's the truth.

  I know you're asking why me? We've all been there...heck I still ask that...but that will reveal itself in time. Right now you focus on you...get the rest you need, get the mental rest you need! Take some time to download...maybe even take a vacation...go watch the air go by.

  Again, welcome. You'll find a lot of cyber support here. You're not alone in this anymore. Remember...all of this has happened for a reason.

  Hope aka Forsharry

  Has anybody successfully quit using caffeine altogether?

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my anxiety and stress levels are really bad lately.

  i think i'd be doing myself a favor to quit caffeine, as it has become a real catch-22 for me, where i need it to stay awake, but it causes me to lose sleep, so i need more of it to stay awake, etc.. i've learned through experience that i'm very sensitive to any sort of chemical substance that affects neurotransmitter flow, and, given my general propensity towards depression/anxiety/paranoia/add, i think that at least one thing i could do to give me a calmer, more stable neurotransmitter mix would be to eliminate caffeine.

  i've tried to reduce before, and i've found that i just start making excuses to have a little more, a little more, until i'm right back where i started.. so, i'm just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience where they felt the need to not just reduce but eliminate caffeine altogether, and if so, how did it go, did it help, how long has it been, etc.
