  I also got the feeling they were feeling out the rest of the elders to see if maybe they should come down and "clean house"

  I had to look further. I could not find lykemia but looks like the correct word is lipemia

  Here is one link for definitions - http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/lipemia These are some clips from that site:

  alimentary lipemia that occurring after ingestion of food. lipemia retina´lis that manifested by a milky appearance of the veins and arteries of the retina.

  alimentary lipemia that occurring after eating. lipemia retina´lis a milky appearance of the veins and arteries of the retina, occurring when the lipids of the blood exceed 5 per cent and in diabetes mellitus and leukemia

  alimentary lipemia postprandial lipemia (below). fasting lipemia that present when food has been withheld for at least 24 hours. postprandial lipemia a physiological effect that occurs between 2 and 12 hours after the ingestion of food high in lipids.

  I think the doctor in the video above was being facetious about the fat going immediately into your blood. However, it does build up over time.

  And, thanks jaguarbass for the link, that is an interesting video.

  That video is outstanding. It made me look for more on the subject.

  Here are some more excellent documentaries on Netflix I found worth watching -

  Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead The Gerson Miracle Food, Inc. Food Matters The Future of Food

  Several months ago Dr Oz had T. Colin Campbell, PhD on his show. I was so interested I bought his book, The China Study. Also bought Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr.'s book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. I am now reading about the Gerson Therapy. To think Dr. Gerson testified before congress before I was born and he was silenced. I'm just now finding out all this stuff we should have known for 60+ years.

  Can you be a JW in good standing and NOT go door to door?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the 2nd president of the watchtower bible and tract society, j.f.rutherford was criticised by some elders in the (then) independant congregations for urging members to go door to door while neglecting to do so himself.

  rutherford responded:.

  frequently some elder says: the president of the society does not go from house to house selling books.

  Only if you are very old and unable physically.

  Last couple times I was at my mom's house she had all the literature laid out on her very large coffee table in the living room. Reminded me of a display in a store. I guess that is her way of doing incidental witnessing in case some non-JW came by and if the elders or other JWs stop by then she looks very faithful.

  JWs preparing for some "Special Top Secret Meeting" does anyone knows about this?

  by Free!! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking to one of my jw ex-friends today (we keep in contact every once in a while) and she was all excited telling me about the new arregment, a special meeting only for elders, their wives, pioneers and other sheep of "exemplary" conduct... (of course she was invited)..... something about one meeting from bethel that is going to be broadcasted to everyone at assembly halls and translated via radio for those who cannot speak english... is by invitation only (and they are "being discreet w the invitations to avoid offend the ones not invited") and they even gave them tickets they have to present at the door..... anyone has the scoop??

  ?.

  This must have something to do with the extra special meeting mom had to go to Monday night. Maybe she was hoping for a ticket since she has brought so many people into the Lie during her lifetime.

  She even cancelled our day trip to see her 91 yr old sister that she hasn't seen in months so she could make sure to get to the meeting Monday night.

  Thanks for the response cedars. For the 2012 I will tick Inactive on the survey since I never officially disassociated.

  This is so interesting seeing the results and the comments. Thank you for all the hard work. We really do appreciate you.

  were you guys "Preaching" from age five, LOL?

  Ditto to St George.

  My parents were pioneering when they got married and I was born 9 1/2 mos later (1948). I heard the stories they told of being in service when I was too young to remember. When I was about 5, I was knocking on the doors inside the house practicing door to door work.

  When I got a little older I learned to truly hate field circus - always tried to pick the houses that looked like no one was home.

  Diest said, "Id rather a slot for faders rather than click inactive."

  I agree - I am also a fader and did not know where to put myself so checked Disassociated.

  I guess fader is an 'informal' DA? After being out 30 yrs, I don't think Inactive applies to me.
