i can't even remember what got me interested in pans, probably wanting to try cooking more and watching some cooking videos on youtube, but i kind of started wanting to get a cast-iron skillet specifically so started reading up on them.
hey, if you're going to spend $50 on something you need to study them and create a comparison spreadsheet ... right?.
not only did cast-iron look great for cooking but there are some studies that show risks to aluminium / teflon cookware ... not that the wts was "right" about aluminium, but teflon can give off carcinogenic chemicals if overheated (so what if it chips off into your food?).
I have an obsession with cast iron pans. The FINEX brand is my absolute favorite.....I can find this brand sometimes at TJ Maxx and/or Marshalls for a good price.
My last move, I had to give up cooking on gas and had to switch to an electric stove....... I hate it. I cannot get the pans the correct temperature ever. Does anyone else have this problem with cast iron and an electric stove?
hi guys.
a fellow ex jw shared this with me.
haven't time to read them yet (i'm using my phone to go on internet).
They actually read out loud the reasons for DF'ing a person? WOW! How disgusting!
i don't want to seem like a jerk.
i know full well economic times are not the greatest.
there's no shame in struggling and staying with your family until you're back on your feet.
Maybe things have changed a lot in the last 35 years, but when I graduated from HS I would have loved to move out of my parents home, but that was not a choice I had. It also had absolutely nothing to do with finances either. As a "female" I was required to stay home and pioneer until I married a spiritual man that my parents approved of. Most of my JW girlfriends were in the exact same boat.....And for some crazy reason we just blindly obeyed (cause that's what you do)
It could be that the 3 woman mentioned in the original OP are not allowed to leave home until they find a spiritual husband.

Thanks for posting this darkspilver
Slightly off topic.....
My daughter Lexi lives on Fiji and almost lost her life in that cyclone last March. It was the strongest cyclone to make landfall in the South Pacific and it barely made the news here in the US. She gets a real kick out of the witnesses always on the beach with their carts and loves that kingdom halls have windows there - something she never saw here in Colorado.
another thread on here made me think of it.. its a personal peeve of mine.. you bow your head in prayer and the brother says thinks like thank you for the lessons we learned today like bla bla bla and for that wonderful point about yadda yadda yadda.
jehovah we know that etc etc etc therefore we must...well you get the gist.and on and on it goes.
absolutely drives me mad..
Growing up in the rurals, Thursday nights were the absolute worst. We had already been in school all day. Did chores, got prettied up, squeezed into the family car with two parents and five siblings and then had to drive 30 miles on country roads. The meeting did not end until 10 PM, but 9 times out of 10, the brothers would go way overtime because what they had to say was so very important. The final prayer would get started by one of my long winded foreign speaking Ukrainian uncles and the majority in the audience just wanted death........
at mine the conductor was somewhat awkward and minimal and there were nervous chuckles from the audience.
two people, including an elder, gave reasonable comments that it's okay as long as it's not extreme styles, etc.
but then another one of the elders commented that nothing has changed and they still aren't proper locally.
Doctor Who...One dumbo of an elder in our congregation said how it's not socially accepted in our area
What stupid reasoning, Then I guess the JW men in my town should all start sportin' the man bun along with a beard since this is the norm and what is socially accepted and somewhat expected.
harris is at his incisive best in his latest podcast.. he likens the situation to being on an aeroplane where the pilot has died and somebody with no experience of flying has grabbed the controls.
we should all be committed to his success.
prize for the best line goes to - "caligula with a iphone".. even if you love trump and despise harris you should appreciate his clarity.. waking up with sam harris....
Loved when he said this....... "The Roger Dangerfield of billionaires"
just received this update.

Exactly what Data-Dog said!!! Spot on
one thing i've never understood is judicial committees.
yes, i understand it's held to see if elders should go through with the disfellowshipping process.
but why give them all the power?
They invited me to my committee meetings by sending me 3 separate registerd letters (3 different meetings, two different committees) I never signed and absolutely never showed. They finally just DFed me.
this info is from the article "who is leading god's people today" feb 17 study edition.. to help them disseminate bible truth in various languages, zion’s watch tower tract society was legally incorporated in 1884, with brother russell as president.
* he was an outstanding student of the bible, and he fearlessly exposed as false such doctrines as the trinity and the immortality of the soul.
he discerned that christ would return invisibly and that “the appointed times of the nations” would end in 1914.. pretty sickening article overall about how badass the gb is, though this little gem is printed as well, paragraph 12. the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.
I find it interesting that they use the word it instead of they.......
