I love meeting up with ex-JW's! A lot of my local friends are x's. In addition to them I have met six people on this forum - love them all. What is amazing is how intelligent everyone of them has been.

What has or would motivate you to attend an Ex-JW meet up...
by Tuesday ini just wanted to get a general consensus of what are the motivations to attend an ex-jw meet up.
if you've already attended one before, what motivated you the first time or each successive time?
if you've never attended an ex-jw meet up before what do you think could motivate you to attend one?.

"her mother-twice divorced, mentally unstable, and addicted to prescription drugs-was unable to cope. Food stamps and welfare payments weren't enough to keep the pantry stocked"
Sounds like the perfect candidate for becoming a JW

Anybody here vegan?
by Dagney ini'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)

What Keeps Some Far Away??

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

Society tells us to stop asking questions...
by cedars ini 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.
