  Hi,

  I was only in for five years, and it has completely left me. 38 years is a different story - I hope so.

  Wishing you all the best....

  Does Someone Have to be Religious to Be a Good Person?

  by flipper in

  this is something my wife and i were discussing the other day .

  in a general view of religious people - most religious people feel it makes them holier, better, or on a higher moral plane claiming to worship god in an organized religion.

  in the jehovah's witnesses view - the outside world is evil, and they claim that if you get away from their religion , and " fall away" a person is doomed to go astray, doing various sundry things like murder, adultery, stealing, orgies, because " they claim " that they have fallen " out of " god's favor.

  Of course not.

  A better question is do you need religion to be a good person?

  Look at people in prison, and how they find god and become 'good people'. They need god. Some people need religion to be good. I don't want to globally label any group, and that's not my intent. There are crackpots everywhere, weather god is involved or not.

  years ago while living in israel i ordered crisis of conscious as i had been on the old h20 site prior to coming to jwd.

  after reading it i met a young man from las angeles who was from a jw family.

  he had left, gone to college and was a volunteer at the baha'i center where i was also serving.

  Do you exercise or isn't that your thing.

  for the last 5 and 1/2 weeks i have been at the gym mostly twice a day except saturdays - i only have one training session.

  each of my sessions is at least an hour long but can go for two hours.

  i do various cardio in the evenings and do strength training in the morning.

  I have been active for about 17 years now, with some off time for injuries, etc.

  If you're into cardio, there is a good way to train. More is not always better! By keeping your heart rate in certain zones during certain weeks (to avoid plateauing), you can get a lot more bang for your buck by doing a lot less. I do cardio 4X per week - which consists of a run lasting no more than 30 minutes in that heart rate zone. On the off days, I "speed walk" 2 hours. Now certain weeks I go seven days a week, others only once or twice, just so I don't get that overtraining syndrome. (had it in the past) Gyms SUCK, so I try to keep out of them, unless its winter time.

  I've also cut all sugar out of my diet. If I crave sweets, I have fruit. That is what really dropped the weight off me.

  Keep up the good work everyone!
