i have read a dozen different health books that come to this same conclusion.
what is milk?
mammal infants require milk from their own species to grow quickly and start solid food.
I know a lot of folks on here like to decry research as a bunch of hocus pocus and medical chicanery, but honestly there is a whole heaping lot of medical journal articles which link certain foods with elevated risks of cancer and heart disease.
And I like a good burger or hot dog as much as anyone else
Just sayin is all…

Didn't read the whole thread, but foods that are high in saturated fat - meat, eggs, and dairy do contribute to high blood cholesterol levels, thus arterioscleorisis and heart disease.
High Blood Cholesterol. One of the major risk factors for heart disease is high blood cholesterol. Cholesterol, a fat-like substance carried in your blood, is found in all of your body's cells. Your liver produces all of the cholesterol your body needs to form cell membranes and to make certain hormones. Extra cholesterol enters your body when you eat foods that come from animals (meats, eggs, and dairy products).
Although we often blame the cholesterol found in foods that we eat for raising blood cholesterol, the main culprit is the saturated fat in food. (Be sure to read nutrition labels carefully, because even though a food does not contain cholesterol it may still have large amounts of saturated fat.) Foods rich in saturated fat include butter fat in milk products, fat from red meat, and tropical oils such as coconut oil.
Too much low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad cholesterol") in the blood causes plaque to form on artery walls, which starts a disease process called atherosclerosis. When plaque builds up in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, you are at greater risk of having a heart attack.

when i think about the biblical tale of noah!
i think of the time we are living in today and how it resembles noah's time.
no one's really paying attention.
Very interesting webpage dave; I find it amazing that even though the bible states no one knows and the laundry list of influential persons that have predicted the end over the centuries - people will still have the ignorant audacity to make predictions and set dates.....
A dub at my job does this everytime there's a gloomy headline in the paper..."we are just so close to the end.. we have to get our priorities straightened out.." It really gets on my effin nerves.
Edited to Add: Shamus, you have a really good point... even as a dub, when I used to get caught up in looking for signs of the end, it never occurred to me that people in different nations have been suffering from economic hardships, famines, and other crisis for decades. It's only when something goes on in the 50 states do American jw get all riled up about the end being immenient.
yesterday i went to the saturday segment of the two day circuit assembly.
the brother giving the talk wanted to make sure that all in attendance understood clearly what the watchtower's definition of "higher education" was.
this is not verbatim, but this is as clear as i can remember it.
why is wanting be become a doctor such a terrible thing.... Everyone living and breathing has probably needed a doctor at one time or another, and last I checked they did not have 2 yr MD programs availble.

LOL... Sir82.. you are hilarious!
BTW, what ever happened to no man knowing the day or hour? I guess some folks have a really good feeling the end is near.
here are a few things that were said that seemed kind of dubious to me.
(i had a meeting with 2 women that came to the door - full story in the thread "i received the knock...").
they baptize in the name of the father, son and holy spirit.
In a way, I felt like I became a JW without reading the fine print in the contract. When you're a 3rd gen witness, and your parents, relatives, and cousins are all in, you take it as the truth because it's all you know, not based on really researching their doctrines.
As some have said here, all you have to do is research their own publications, and you'll find the truth behind what they teach. If you printed it out, those sisters probably still wouldn't necessarily look at it.
But the overarching issue is not debating each doctrine, it is whether or not you're allowed to disagree. Trust me, some here have gotten disfellowshipped for voicing their doubts in doctrines such as 1914 and the 144,000. I know better than to question doctrine and as someone here has already mentioned, you can find yourself in deep doo-doo by saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. Or the object of sheperding calls at the least. Not only that, many practices are considered 'organizational' ones, but of course you are expected to tow the line.
Plain and simple, its deceptive and its a trap.
obedience it is all about obedience and zeal to that obedience in the mind of the wts..
This sounds like more WT doublespeak to me; it's not the result of the work, but the work itself that results in salvation? NOT.
One of the greatest things I've learned since fading from the org and studying the bible w/o WT influence is that only faith saves, man cannot 'earn' salvation no matter how many works he has produced.
This statement was probably included so witneses will continue to put in laborious field service time even though it doesn't seem productive. As if the number of hours put in will gaurantee salvation even if it doesn't produce one bible study.
cognac...... chapter 3 starting around point 12 "choosing our close associates".
wow, marking bad association in the congregation. It's not enough to already avoid wordly people and shun DA or DF'd person. Now you must also make distinctions in associating with the weak or strong. soooo Christ-like, isn't it?
Then they wonder why there is so much suspicion and lack of love in the congregation.... crazy nuts.....

3:25 Beware of Overconfidence That's my fav...
"Please friends, do not become overconfident and believe you can actually think for yourselves. Let the Society continue to tell you what to believe, what to think, how to make love to your wife, what color socks to wear, etc. etc...."
i was adopted into a jw family in southern california.
my birth mother gave me up after 6 months (the terms mom & dad refer to my adoptive/real parents).
she gave me up due to the fact that she already had a three year old boy, and back in the late sixties it was not as socially acceptable to be a single mother.
I'm a day late and a dollar short, but so glad I came across this link. You'll probably never read this but your story did help, thank you for being so kind in writing this.
