this isn't a jw experience, but for those of you that have been following my life, i thought i'd have a drink and share this strange event in my post-jw life.. for you wonderful newbies, you can catch up on highlights of my story in the few threads i've started here.

i'm finishing the junior year of my engineering degree and the classes are hard as hell.

i used to be among the smartest students in the room until i hit the 300 level university courses.

How many ways....

by Lady Lee in

... can you name that the wts hurts people?.

two big ones for me:.

it pushes people to the edge and when they commit suicide they say: "well he wasn't really a jw anyways soit has nothing to do with us".. it pushes people so much to do more and more and more that they get depressed, and physically sick.

The constant pressure to do more, give more.

Tearing families apart.

I have one that I love. It was my ex-husband's favorite dish. The key is to cut extra firm tofu into slices and lay them on several layers of paper towel, cover that with several more layers and squeeze out as much water as you can.

Curried Rice, Tofu, and Vegetables

1/4 c oil

1 pound firm tofu cut into 3/4-inch cubes and patted very dry

3 tablespoons butter

1 red bell pepper, cored and diced

4 cups (12 oz) sliced mushrooms

1-1/2 tsp turmeric

2 tsp ground cumin

1-1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp salt

4-5 cups cold, cooked rice

1-1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed or fresh peas lightly cooked

2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Add the tofu and fry until it is golden, tossing often. Set aside on a platter.

2. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet and when melted add the red pepper and the mushrooms. Saute for 10 minutes or until the peppers are tender and te mushrooms are brown.

3. Add all of the spices and the salt, toss to blend well and cook for 1 minute.

4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cold rice, peas, and tofu. Toss until well mixed, then add the soy sauce and toss again. Cook, tossing often for 5-10 minutes or until the mixture is piping hot.

5. Just before serving cut the remaining tablespoon of butyter into bits and add. Toss again and serve.
