  What is your relationship with ALCOHOL?

  by nicolaou in

  1. social
  2. physical

  here in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".

  another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".

  already people are making cries of "nanny state!

  Awful relationship. Terrible marriage, drank a lot and it became a bad habit. Exercise in the past helped me quit and is a better coping mechanism. I was scawny as heck, but it made me feel better then alcohol. Problem is, I came to crave it, but not as much as I do exercise, thank god...

  Closed - I'm not sure how I misunderstood your point but I apologize if I did. Your post struck a nerve, to say the least... Hope you find the happiness you are seeking while you exit.

  Closed - Really? You don't think you come off as completely self entitled? YOU WERE IN A POSITION TO JUDGE OTHERS. A POSITION YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER OF HAD TO BEGIN WITH. Nobody, under any circumstances ever owed you an explanation. And what you come away with is that you were lied to? In judicial committees. Where you are judging whether or not they are truly repentant.

  Excuse me while I go vomit from complete and utter disgust.

  Nobody owed you an explanation to begin with. Maybe having to give one slowed their fade... And maybe you should think about what being on a JC did to them and get over your own feelings being lied to. It was really never any of your business to begin with and you don't really know what they went through.

  Elders, oh my God what a bunch of losers!

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok i don't mean to put all of them into just one box so to speak, their are some that are smart successful etc.

  but my god most of them are just wasted space, ignorant, no drive, horrible jobs, make nothing for income and the only thing in life they have going for them is this title.

  no wonder so many will not wake up and hold on to this stupid cult, it's all they have.

  I knew a lot of elders that are nice people. My bf was an elder. Having a thread calling them losers and starting a sentence with, "MOST of them are wasted space" is offensive and rude.

  You really just started an elder bashing thread on a forum with a bunch of former elders on it? Really???
