  There's about 100 people on this board that I would fly to a private island for a week-long apostafest.

  Anybody here vegan?

  by Dagney in

  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've been inspired to check into veganism a little more seriously.

  Good thread!

  How can I be "COOL" on JWN?

  by Silent_Scream in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what are the unwritten rules and standards that make some people here cool, others not.. saying "just be yourself" is a lie!

  i see many people being themselves who start an interesting thread and have 6 comments (5 being their own), while others post "cheeseburgers" and the thread last for days.

  lol.. .

  You've been posting here for 7 months and only have 82 posts.

  Using N.Drew as an example, she's been here the same amount of time and has over 6000.

  Maybe you could post more?

  Great comments, everyone!

  This part:

  From the way women are portrayed on reality shows, to how we condition boys and girls to see women, we have come to accept the idea that women are unbalanced, irrational individuals, especially in times of anger and frustration.

  ....I cringe everytime I hear a husband say about his wife, "Oh, you're just angry with me because it's that time of the month."

  Like it never occurs to him that maybe she's angry because he's being an idiot.

  It reminds me of that saying:

  "Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes"

  I was vegetarian for 5 years, and that's really when I felt the best. Then I married a T-Rex......

  We eat vegetarian about 3-4 nights a week, and I still rarely eat meat.

  I've never thought I had enough self-control to go completely vegan. And now it would be nearly impossible. Because I am married to a T-Rex.

  I think Jesus was an enlightened prophet, as was Buddha. I believe that each person's spiritual path is personal. I do not believe in formal organizations or buildings. God is not found within four walls and a roof, but in the hearts of each person who seeks enlightenment. Jesus did not have a church with four walls and a roof. He never asked for money or a position of power. He simply asked each person to look within themselves and discover that they each and every one is a son of God.

  Things you did to pass the time at meetings/service/assemblies/conventions/memorials

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  i'm currently at the meeting again... i'm always in the back working the sound cause everyone else can't seem to work it and i'm mostly on my phone reading jwn or writing, or doodling or sometimes i just stare at the audience to see who's falling asleep or daydreaming.

  its really the only way i can still sit through these things.. but i remember getting the number of a girl i used to like at one district convention and we would text each other during the program and talk about how boring it was.. i also remember sneaking out of a circuit assembly and going to see a car show that was going on right next door.

  that was fun!.

  I worked for a lawyer, taking short-hand notes during his trials. So I practiced short-hand at all the meetings and assemblies.

  I got down every word, word-for-word, which was handy when someone tried to deny that something was said from the platform.
