  Annoying JW Vegan....

  by lalaa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  Well,I'm not a vegan,but vegetarian,since a teenager. I wonder if veganism is new to her,maybe that is why she is so radical about it. But,she is going about it the wrong way.

  But,honestly,I don't care what anyone else has for dinner. And I don't really understand why anyone would care what I had for dinner either. I've educated myself on how to receive the proper nutrition and vitamins.

  I have been ridiculed a lot for being a vegetarian,and so I really don't share it with everyone. If someone sincerely asks questions on the topic,I'm happy to share them the info. I read. But,I never bring it up.

  "The Next Three Days' with Russell Crowe,is really exciting. I see a lot of good movies,but when someone asks me about the latest movie I saw,my mind goes a complete blank. Plus,everyone has different tastes and it all depends on what you're in the mood for.

  "Big Fish"

  "Lars Girlfriend"

  "Black Swan",I'm watching this one tonight.

  safireblu64-Thanks for sharing your story as well.

  maryann-Awww,thanks,you know,I want to eventually reach the point where I can reach out and help others who are still trapped in the religion and who want to be free. I know there are many others in my situation who feel stuck,and life is passing them by.

  I was helped so much here,I want/need to return the favor.

  Vamp-Thanks for that.

  good morning, fellow jwners:.

  i hope that you and yours are well.. new to the taking of prescription drugs, i see that prescription drugs are available for purchase online.

  how is this done, without one's doctor's authorization?

  Actually I have purchased on-line prescription drugs. But,believe it or not, it was for my cat. They are a company in New Zealand and very reputable.

  My cat had asthma,and if I was to purchase flovent for her here in the states it would have cost me over $200.00 every month. But,buying the same drug,by the same company under the European name flixotide it only cost me under $50.00 a month.

  The vet had prescribed it for her,so it wasn't me treating her on my own. So,it is important to check the reputations of the companies and possibly get references.

  "Overlapping generation" explanation - TRANSCRIBED EXTRACT from Friday's talk (DC 2011-12)

  i thought this would be easier to examine if written down:.

  god's kingdom will soon come.

  so we know that god's kingdom will soon come.. .

  It shouldn't be that complicated. Why don't they say it's just a mystery like the Trinity.

  A lot of Witnesses are having trouble with this or they wouldn't keep bringing it up. I know in my own congregation some had issues with this generation explanation. It led to a special public talk on putting trust in God's organization,in other words,shut up,we know what we're talking about ,even if,you do not.

  I also know this because a couple elders told me others had the same issues about this new understanding.

  Sorry Retrovirus,I didn't mean to make you cry. But,it's comforting when others understand all our complex emotions or even lack there of sometimes....

  As a Witness,I believed this life was a bunch of misery and struggle until the new system, where our troubles would magically disappear. But,now,I recongnize that there is a balance. Life is full of ups and downs. But,there are so many enriching experiences and people that make it so much better along the way.

  And now,life will no longer be put on hold.
