You could be maybe short on iron if you aren't getting enough in your new diet. Good sources include wholegrain cereals, leafy green veg, pulses such as chickpeas lentils kidney beans and also baked beans, dried fruit, also in slightly less amounts egg hard cheese and brown rice or brown bread. Also a good intake of vit c from fruit and peppers etc helps your body to absorb the iron. Or you could have fruit juice as well. Proteins important as well such as nuts seeds tofu soya products, cereals eggs milk cheese and yoghurt. You could pop to your docs for a blood test just to check your haemoglobin levels. There are a lot of veggie websites with advice if you just google vegetarian diets or something. Sorry am off out now or wuld find some for you. Any questions (or recipes ) just ask, i've been veggie for 26 yrs. I eat dairy products though, i was a vegan for a short while but i couldn't give up the chocolate!soya chocolate - yuk!

I came to a realization just now, how about you?
by return visitor ini have been inactive now for over a half a year, and i am just now realizing that there was not one thing i enjoyed about being a witness.
i enjoyed my friends and association with witnesses, and still do.
but i didn't enjoy one thing that we were supposed to do, not one.

The only thing i really liked about it was walking out the door on my way home!
Tbh the few friends i did like enough to have as 'close' friends were quite high maintenance, esp one who basically was an emotional and physical wreck. I used to try and be there for her for a long time but in the end it just wore me down that it was a relief not to have to see them anymore. I know that probably sounds horrible but i find other peoples moods/upsets really affect me as well so i felt like i was carrying their problems as well as my own and i think you can only take it for so long. I do wish this friend in particular will leave one day though i doubt it because i am sure alot of her problems are jw related.

If someone is going to buy you a birthday or christmas gift.....
by bagpuss inwould you prefer them to ask what you would like or to surprise you, and if they did ask for ideas would you be offended?
the reason i ask is that my mother in law has just told my husband that we may as well go back to how we were when we were witnesses and stop buying them presents as we don't put any thought into it and ask them what they want.
he is really upset by this comment while i am just plain bloody angry!.

I think that was really rude of her!
What i did last xmas was ask most people what they would like, and got them that and then also chose a small extra present as well. Though even if you ask them it doesn't meant they'll be happy, as i saw one of my gifts on ebay 2 wks after xmas! Personally i don't mind if they ask or not, i don't expect anything and i don't really need anything either tbh, but it also depends on whether you like surprises or not as well i suppose. My mum and sister asked me for my birthday and i was glad because i will be needing maternity clothes so they kindly gave me vouchers.

Do You Recognize Your Baptism?
by sweetstuff ini was promised that this generation would no means pass away.
(live forever book, pg.
154) i brought this up, although it has probably been discussed before, because i am sure some people right now are worrying how to handle an elder's visit or call.

Wow i can't believe how young some of you were to get baptised. One thing that attracted me to it was because my jw pal told me they waited until they were adults rather than christened like babies. I think its flipping wrong to baptise anyone under the age of 18 tbh! Anyway my baptism (at 20) was now obviously based on a load of lies and pure rubbish so as far as i'm concerned it was just a dip in a swimming pool by two silly men and nothing more than that. And if i do think of my baptism at all it is just to wish that i hadn't done it!(though i wouldn't have my kids so i suppose there's good out of everything bad)
