I tried a vegetarian diet for 30 days until my neurologist found out about it . Oh, how quickly did he stop that diet. I just could not figure out why on earth I was getting so many migraines in those 30 days. NO, beans for you! That is beans of any kind. I would eat a whole package of lima beans for lunch and end up with a migraine. That was the year I received the long list of foods I am not allowed to eat. LOL. He was not my favorite doctor that day.

Here's what the Masons have to say about Jehovah
by NikL inmy grandfather was a 32nd degree mason.. my parents ended up with one of his books called "morals and dogma" published by the masons.. i remember looking through it years ago and seeing multiple mentions of jehovah.. as it turns out, it's in the public domain on project gutenberg and is there fore searchable.. found this interesting in light of chuck russell's alleged mason connection.. it says about jehovah and the divine name.... whether the legend and history of this degree are historically true, or but an allegory, containing in itself a deeper truth and a profounder meaning, we shall not now debate.
if it be but a legendary myth, you must find out for yourself what it means.
it is certain that the word which the hebrews are not now permitted to pronounce was in common use by abraham, lot, isaac, jacob, laban, rebecca, and even among tribes foreign to the hebrews, before the time of moses; and that it recurs a hundred times in the lyrical effusions of david and other hebrew poets..

Can a Person Resign From Being One of Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by UnshackleTheChains inhow many witnesses are aware that technically, according to watchtower policy, they can if they wish too...associate with dissociated and disfellowshipped relatives.
for all those who are dissociated or disfellowshipped, please share this with your relatives who are currently shunning you.
there is nothing the elders can do as long as they are not discussing spiritual matters.

They may say that on their public website BUT watch this month's broadcast for a video reinforcing the shunning of your child. Or the summer broadcast at the RC. Their sick policy is to shun family members who leave the truth! In reality in most cases you do not have to be DA or DF just be inactive can now get you shunned. That is there on the website for the public to think they are a bunch of nice guys, I think most of us know better.

Smiddy,
Never a JW, so I watched the whole thing because they said it was about telling the truth.
I got the whole shunning your child thing in this video. I tried to view my outrage on that topic a couple of days ago when the video of the young lady was posted on another thread about breaking up families. First I totally disagree with this form of dissaplain of youth (anyone under the age of 20). Youth still needs guidance and coucilling not dissaplain.
Yes they ended their video with the wonderful growth taking place in some far off country where they have a huge refuge population. Of course they are going to target the the refuges. Isn't that there mode of operation target the down and out. That is what the the "Elder" thought he was doing, he thought he had me during my weak moments when I was going through never-ending 5 years of family crisis. They just kept piling up and I dealt with them but I did not crumble nor end up on anti depressents. Then when he gave me the book on Families I blew up how dare you treat children and women this way.
Yes, Smiddy there is NO part of this video that comes across to a Worldy person as ............ (fill in the blank with your favorite adjectives) Simon might kick me off the forum if I fill it in.
Recap from a Wordly person
Truth = must be New Light because I sure have not seen much truth spoken from the JWS in the past
Growth = yeap still up to their same tactics find the under dogs, don't give them any helping hand like most Christian groups would like food, shelter, etc just that spiritual food.
Then that shunning = tow the company line people stay faithful to Jehovah. Forget the fact that our children were originally a gift from God and we should cherish every moment we have with them on this earth - life is far to short and precious. I lost one child would never lose one to their silly rules. No one said raising a child will be easy and they wI'll test your last but of patience but you will make it through it.
I stopped watching these bunch of liars last August after the ARC so sorry I choose to watch this piece of crap.
OK rant over. Have a great day.

Never a JW but the last thing I could stomach to watch was the ARC where those Elders, Branch people, WT lawyers and G. Jackson ALL took an OATH to tell the TRUTH on their Bible and we know how that went. So tell me is this supposed to be what you all refer to as New Light all the time, are JWs now going to start telling the truth for a change? Or am I just totally confused as to who is to be truthful and who can lie?

Mr. flipper
Excellent post, I have been trying all day to find the words to post my anger has been out of control. Never a JW but I have worked with a youth group from 10 to 20 in my spare time and the way the WT breaks up families is just unspeakable. In our organization we do not consider anyone an adult until they have reached the age of 20. When we have a youth in trouble we work with them or we have the parents get them into councilling. They most definitely are not put out on the streets to fend for themselves with no support system.
I so hope she played this for her parents. I hope this WOKE her parents up how LOVING (NOT) these Elders are!!! I know I would never step foot in a KH after that experience. Yeap, flipper I am a red hot Italian lady and at her age I would have came across that table and a fist would have hit a couple of jaws. The problem with this religion is they have taught SUBMIT AND OBEY. It is all mind control and it is a cult. As long as they think they have the power they will use it and enforce it. Just like I told my mother when I was 12 or 13 you touch me one more time you will be picking yourself up off the floor.

If you have met a JW you like press on my avatar read my intro to this forum. Then go to JWFACTS (dot) com read all about this religion. Do not get involved with anyone who is a JW!!!

Ok a long time ago. Never a JW so it was ok for me to do this. I worked in upper management and the higher ups were really getting very concerned about our stress levels. They brought in this group of consultants to help us manage our stress better. The one technique which I learned and still use today was self hypnosis. It is where you sit very quietly, soft music and tell your body to relax progressively to relax passing the energy from the head into the neck, then the shoulders, then arms and so on.
It is an amazingly relaxing experience if done the right way. Stress is released and the head and body feels completely different. I am sure there is a name for this but I have no clue.
