  Anybody here vegan?

  by Dagney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been considering it for awhile strictly for just general overall health.

  i don't take any meds, and would like to keep it that way for as long as i can.

  i am a "all things in moderation " type of person but the more i read about excluding dairy and meat, the more i think about doing it.

  I just made the leap about a month ago. My daughters have been vegans for about 5 years and are the picture of health and vitality. At 46 years old and no perfect paradise around the corner, I feel the clock ticking on my body. I am not ready yet for prescriptions and doctor visits; so I felt this was definitely worth a try. I go to Whole Foods every morning and pick up my food for the day. I am fanatical about my vitamins (We absolutely need to take B-12). I always said I could never live without cheese and red meat, but somehow have managed thus far. I feel fantastic!

  Two books that inspired me....The SELF HEALTH Revolution (though not really a vegan book) and Skinny Bitch (don't let the title scare you)

  if you weren't raised in the religion, why did you get involved?.

  What Keeps Some Far Away??

  As my best friend says to my father everytime he starts preaching....

  "I'm a grown assed man. You do not need to tell me how to think"

  I think the real question to this thread should be...

  Has ANYONE married a JW and been happy?

  My copy has been underlined, highlighted and thoroughly studied ..... but the deliciously naughty part is that I bound it myself (and I do not even have a penis - how is this even possible?)

  Society tells us to stop asking questions...

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just glancing at the back of the october 15th watchtower and the questions from readers.

  the question under discussion is "what should i do when i have a question about something i read in the bible or when i need advice about a personal problem?".

  the article goes on to discuss how we should consult the watch tower publications index among the many 'tools' that have been provided by the faithful and discreet slave whenever we have a question that is not directly discussed in the publications.. one statement really caught my eye, because it's the first time i've ever seen the society actually dissuade people from writing in with questions.

  Pioneers Bearing No Fruit

  by TOTH in

  2. friends

  my father in law's sow has been a pioneer for what...twenty plus years now?

  she has yet to see any of her studies progress to baptism.

  i know this is an excellent thing but to jw's you would think it would be tragic.

  I pioneered for 10 years when the requirements were 1000 hrs/year. In that decade, I had one lady that I met going door to door advance to baptism. 10,000 hours = 1 convert

  How I wish I could have those 10,000 hours back!

  I beleived that since we were both regular pioneers, Jehovah would bless us and we would be blissfully happy even though we were polar opposites and had nothing in common besides the religion.
