Thanks for the info.
The next time she goes off in a vegan rant I'm going to defend MY choice of eating with scriptures of HER faith to shut her up. She can't argue with what's written in her bible.
my co-worker is a vegan and jw constantly talks about how healthy she is...blah, blah, blah....all day long and she's getting on my last nerve.
she's always posting how meat is murder on facebook and how all meat eaters are sooo uneducated.
funny since she dropped out of home schooling and never recieved her ged.

So when she was going off about some animal rights/vegan activast (who chains himself to cars and is always causing a scene) is so awesome since he stands up for what he believes in. I then said it's not up to men to change the world and that she needs to rely on Jehovah and wait on him to put these evil things to an end. Of course I was being a total sarcastic a-hole and she knew it...She laughed it off and said that we can end it now.
Since I don't remember any scriptures does anyone know some that I could use to make her shut her mouth.
note: if someone choses to be vegetarian, vegan, or whatever...I'm really cool about it, we are all different. Who am I to judge. It's just when people push their beliefs on me is when I get ticked off...

and lo, the macho man randy savage did prevent the impending rapture.
amen..
LMAO!!!! Too funny!
it drives me nuts!.
who gives a sh^t about your newest item that you just bought or how happy that you are that the sun is out?.
I can't stand it when people post goodmorning and goodnight on facebook...
Who cares and STFU please!
this is the first time ever that the they have come to my door.
all i can say is that the man's presentation wasn't good at all.. first he started asking what i thought about the rapture, but didn't really get into the topic, and said that the word rapture wasn't mentioned in the bible.
then he said the watchtower goes over the signs of the end...blah, blah, blah...nothing interesting to add.. then he showed me the awake and said he liked the picture of the hands and said..."did you know that there are over 50 bones in our hands".
Great tips everyone. I will keep this in mind when someone else comes to the door that actually wants to have a deep converstation.

There was no we are encouraging bible reading like I would say when I used to go door to door or trying to engage me in any type of conversation. It just seemed like this was routine for him and it was a sad, boring presentation. UGH! I'm sure he won't be back. He probably just wanted to count his 2 magazines as placed.
I could have done better and I haven't been door to door since 2003.
The poor girl that was with him (around 16 or 17) reminded me of myself 15 years ago. So innocent and not knowing that there really is life beyond the witnesses and field service. It made me sad for a bit, but then I realized how far I've come from being in that place in my life.
i am so excited i can hardly stand it!!
i love going to vegas and try to go about every 3-4 years.
the last time we went was 3 years ago and we did not gamble as we were trying to do "what is right".
I'm going to Vegas in 3 weeks as well.....This is the second year in a row that I'm going, but it's actually for work. I still get to have fun after a few hours of work stuff.
Have fun!!!

i got my grades today.
i ended up with a 3.57 gpa and i'm able to join phi beta kappa, which is the honnors society at my school.
not to bad for an ex jw that never graduated from high school.
Congrats! I'm a Business Admin major too. This coming semester will be my fourth semester at community college.
I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only person who's going to college in their 30's.
Keep up the good work!!!!
growing up in the fifties and sixties, stories of demonic possession were prevalant in the watchtower and awake.
i was terrified.
we were told they would bother you if you were faithful, but also if you fell away.
7 years ago when I still lived with my family we lived out in the country. From day one when we moved out there my mom and sister (JW's at the time) always heard stuff and saw things. The only time I was bothered was in my sleep. I always had terrible nightmares that I couldn't explain. These were scary demonic nightmares that scared the crap out of me.
When I moved out on my own the nightmares stopped.
Also..when I was still living there I heard a knock (really loud) that was at my window, then the other side of my room that went all around the house. This happened at night and scared the living crap out of me because our home was gated with 3 huge dogs that would bark at anything and anyone. Since they were silent that scared me even more.
I've never been scared of demons....I just don't like it when they showed up in my dreams.
