Paleo Diet. What do you think?

by DATA-DOG in

i have been suffering from fatigue, burning in my stomach, and i have always had canker sore issues as long as i can remember.

whether it's from stress or not, i can't say, but i might be getting an ulcer.

the burning in my stomach and intestinal puffiness is getting to be be chronic.

I think all diets are hard because of the media. I did the master cleans a number of years ago (maple syrup diet) and what I notice the most is how much of TV revolves around eating both in commercials and in the shows themselves. Add to that smell from restaurants, layout of supermarkets, billboards, your peers, etc... and you have a recipe (pun intended) for very difficult time sticking to any diet.

My wife is proof that full fat dairy does not make you fat. Like you she only eats full fat dairy products

I do kind of think that wheat products may be a big cause of being overweight.

I feel like I could eat bread continuously without ever becoming truly full and satisfied.

Check out the book wheat belly which has some fairly lenthgy explanations on why wheat is bad.

Appointed men & the 10 hour rule

I don't think it is a written rule, sort of like the police don't have a quota for writing tickets but if they are doing their job they will likely find at least one person a day that truly deserves a ticket.

So odd, it is like they think that by forcing people to preach it will fulfill some prophecy. Like wearing sunglasses can make the sun rise.

I don’t know about everyone else but when I am passionate about something I don’t need someone to tell me to talk about it. Quite the opposite, people get sick of hearing about it from me. This site is a pretty good example of how you don't need to be forced to talk about your beliefs.

Jehovahs witnesses dont have the name of GOD right so how can they be his witnesses

by smiddy in

the tetragrammaton ,does not appear anywhere in the christian greek scriptures see the new world kingdom interlinear translation.

the tetragrammaton translated in english is yhwh ( not jhvh) their is no j in hebrew.. the first edition of the book " aid to bible understanding" admits that the proper pronunciation of gods name is not known.. that they have used the name jehovah because it is the more popular name used in christendoms religions.

and they say christendoms religions are apostates / anti christs /babylon the great , can they have it both ways ?.

Just think when they get to heaven and say but we preached about you Jehovah!

God looks a them and says huh who's Jehovah?

I think that might have been one of the things in the back of my mind that always kind of bothered me.

Even the dubs admit that Jehovah may not be the exact translation but they use it anyway. Now if I were the jealous God that Jehovah is made out to be I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be happy about being called by the wrong name for all those years.

by fulltimestudent in

a recent review by misiek piskorski, ( associate professor of business administration, at harvard business school) of internet use in china, makes some interesting points, in harvard business review.

the most striking feature is the sheer volume internet use in china.

close to 600 million users in 2013, and rising.

I wouldn't bet on it. Whatever you say about Americans we seem to be inventors and inovators of stuff people want.

Just check out Bella15's post

Although China does appear to be buying a lot of the companies we don't seem to want anymore.

Is saying "I don't want to be a Jehovah's Witness anymore" enough?

by DuvanMuvan in

jw

i was just wondering.

say you were baptised and stopped going to the meetings, when the elders and people ask why can you just say you don't want to be a jw anymore without giving a reason?

i mean it's not like they can force it out of you and you aren't necessarily spreading lies or whatever they say apostates do.. if anything they'll have to keep talking to you to find an actual reason to df you so if you're literally as vague as possible then what basis do they have?

mynameislame

If they were already suspicious of you and your motives it might work. But since they are all about love they rightfully should try to do something to get you to stay. If you suprised them with the request I think most would be honestly concerned for you. But when their half assed help didn't work they would quickly change their tune.

Yay! Apostates are no longer "mentally diseased!"

by rory-ks in

original nwt reads: "if any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our lord jesus christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words.

from these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions...".

2013 revision reads: "if any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our lord jesus christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion,he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything.

mynameislame

Interesting. I wonder if that might actualy be worse. If you are mentally diseased then it isn't your fault and the dubs might feel bad for you. If you are just obsessed then it is kind of your own doing. Seems almost like a softer term that allows for a wider net to be cast on who an apostate is.

Although being obsessed is really a specific form of a mental disease isn't it?
