Dagothur: "Hormones have strong molecules, they can resist boiling and even digestion, so they are able to pass from our stomach right into the blood stream, unharmed or denaturated into even more dangerous hormone variations."
Do you have a source for this? I agree that it's an interesting idea.

before i get to the gem in this week's tms, let me let any of you newbies here up to date with us jdubs and schooling.
in the february 22, 2002 watchtower, the wtbts released the article titled "how my dream was fullfilled".
it was one of many typical jw stories of a good devout jdub "resisting temptation" and accepting the borg as absolute truth.
I wish we had a recording of that statement.
100% sincerity & conviction of belief were dripping from every word.
So sad.
The ironic thing is, I'm pretty sure the guy giving that part has a University Degree himself.

I don't know if it's my born-in JW upbringing or just my innate sensibilties but Gregor's words ring true with me:
To be truthful, there is a "ick" factor,
On one level this is irrational. I should probably cut down on my red meat intake, but I REALLY enjoy tucking into a really good, medium-rare "juicy" (translation: bloody) steak from time to time. But it doesn't "ick" me out in the least. However, talk about blood sausage or black pudding and I have NO desire whatsoever to partake. This makes no sense. But I don't see myself diving into a blood sausage anytime in the forseeable future.
FWIW, I love to indulge in buying a lottery ticket or saying "Have a nice Christmas" to a co-worker just to flip the bird to the Watchtower. But when it comes to eating blood, I thing I'll stay a good JW.
Blech.

what are the top 5 books you would either recommend and/or have had the greatest influence on you?
(if you only want to mention one or two that's fine as well.).
if you feel like it, please briefly tell us why.
zarco: "Guns Germs and Steel - most thought provoking book I have ever read"
I worked my way through this on Nvrgnbk's earlier recommendation in this thread.
I agree. There were quite a few "well duh!" moments in this book for me.

(thanks avishai) I don't do Facebook, but my wife and kids do. It will probably end up getting us DFed one of these days.
Mouthy! Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm secular but I enjoy music of all sorts including spiritual stuff.

i just found out that the named my father an elder in his congregation.
which i find suprising for many reasons, but thats another story.
anyway my brothers & sisters invited me to go out to dinner with them and the families, in honor of my fathers new appointment, (2 of my bro are also ms, and had similiar "parties" after appointments).
"Which i find suprising for many reasons, but thats another story. "
Without knowing the parties involved it's hard to say how weird this is, or not.
Suppose your Dad has been sincerely working on some JW "deficiency" for many years and he finally made it into the club. From what you wrote it sounds like the dinner wasn't even his idea.
Anyway, I can see how it might feel pretty uncomfortable for you to be there since you don't share their values. If you think your Dad really doesn't qualify then that's just one more reason not to join in.
