i've been considering it for awhile strictly for just general overall health.
i don't take any meds, and would like to keep it that way for as long as i can.
i am a "all things in moderation " type of person but the more i read about excluding dairy and meat, the more i think about doing it.
Lol Breck.
Palm, I dated a vegetarian for years, not vegan, so it was really easy. I couldn't do it if I was married to T-Rex, lol.
So many conflicting opinions out there. Lately they are saying again we should be having protein every time we eat for metabolism etc.

(and I just cooked a brisket yesterday...I do love red meat, good red meat.).
I would like to hear if anyone has successfully, (or not), made the transition, or any thoughts.
TIA.
omg, today is the forum's 12th birthday !.
omg x 2 - i said the word 'birthday' and no-one was beheaded !
lol.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Simon, Ang and mods for JWD/JWN!!! I appreciate this place so much. After losing almost everybody and everything we've ever known, to have a place to come to find others who are going through the same thing means everything.
Happy Birthday JWN!
"there was no doubt in my mind that he was talking directly to me.
he said being assertive isn't a luxury, it's our inalienable right.
we don't have to feel quilty about it.
"In some way however, small and secret, each of us is a little mad. Everyone is lonely at bottom and cries to be understood, but we can never entirely understand someone else, and each of us remains part stranger even to those who loves us."
"It is the weak who are cruel, gentleness is to be expected only from the strong. Those who do not know fear are not really brave, for courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined."
"You can understand people better if you look at them no matter how old or impressive they maybe .... as if they are children. For most of us never mature, we simply grow taller...
"Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which are capable. The purpose of life is to MATTER - to COUNT - to Stand for something- To have it make some difference that we lived at all."

I used "high control group" for a looong time...didn't want to admit I was a former cult member maybe. lol.
Eeeyep min, it's a cult.
every year i attend, missing only 5 in 50 years.. i do not attend meetings nor active in anyway, my family shun me,(all devote believers) but i do feel drawn to attend each year.
i am out for sure, but i no longer have faith, or a belief in any religous body as being approved by god.. i am so screwed up now i not sure if i believe in a creator!, let alone who or what that may be.. i was born into the truth, married into the truth and my ex is devote.. i could never return to the cult now seeing it for what it is.. i served, donated, slaved for years happy to do so as has all my family.. i went out of my way to get df, sort of a wanting to die act, of rejecting the society.. i used to sit in a movie in my youth and think, wow i am so lucky, all these people are going to die and i will live forever.. even just typing this gives release to my emotions,, lol,,, yea i have many emotions,,, many regrets, basically the organisation i followed and the instructions destroyed my life in every possible way.. the power plays that i witnessed within are what first woke me up,,,at first i let it go, forgiving those involved as brothers do.
but again and again power and position is and was the thing to have, you got the power you got everything.
The memorial only has the power you give it. And we all gave it power at one time.
Step out of box...try not going and do something else to replace it, something memorable. The importance and the hold it has will fade as you build your own life and distance yourself from it. Happy trails!
if so, which weekend might you be going?.
just curious.... .
Sorry no.
But if you wanted to meet some apostates after the session, that could probably be arranged.
my father in law's sow has been a pioneer for what...twenty plus years now?
she has yet to see any of her studies progress to baptism.
i know this is an excellent thing but to jw's you would think it would be tragic.
I'm gobsmacked at the people still signing up to pioneer. Heard of many did this month.
It's just what they do, I guess. **sigh**
And the lingo, "gotta make my time."
