  there was/is a sister in my old hall who was a pharmaceutical sales rep and she was a huge proponent of anything in the drug industry.

  when someone had a headache, she was the first to say "take an asprin.

  " now my husband and i are what you might call old hippies.

  Diogenesister my mother recommended cider vinegar and all I can say is it works as a preventative and if I feel a slight ache in my hips or knees after a long walk it takes away the pain. My mother started to get arthritic pain in her spine in her forties. Her doctor said she would soon be in a wheelchair.

  She started reading books about it and changed her diet to a more healthy one with lots of whole foods. She never did use a wheelchair and was riding a bike in her sixties. Her sister on the other hand had her first hip replacement at 47.

  Make sure you take it in water to protect your teeth.

  Yeah I eat lots of fruit, veg, fish, free range chicken and eggs, no red meat. Organic milk too because it's chemical and hormone free and usually the cows are treated well. I haven't eaten burgers, sausages, salami or pies for over ten years. I don't take any medication except an occasional headache tablet. I take a multivitamin pill every day. Only thing I take medicinally is cider vinegar in water twice a day because all the women in my family get arthritis. So far only the odd twinge. I see a doctor less than once a year.

  Xanthippe... nice one!
  Never mess with the Komodo.

  Heaven, those beautiful sea creatures! The sea is still full of mysteries. Who knows what we'll find next. On a documentary once there were under-sea spiders that live on a type of jelly fish. Wild!

  The Way JW Females Act

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more i interact with non-jw men and women the more i notice that i still behave like a jw woman.

  when i interact with people (men especially) i find myself being super submissive and docile.

  acting like i don't have a brain and can't make decisions on my own.

  Lauren you need to try standing up for yourself in small things that do not threaten your job and gradually it will sink into you subconscious that the sky will not fall when you do. When you feel safer you can go onto bigger steps.

  Give up now on having everyone like you. It's impossible, some people will like you, some won't, some will just not care. That's normal. Once you know this you will stop trying to get everyone's approval.

  If you are submissive to men you will attract domineering men. People who bully others should not be welcome in your life, whether they are male or female. I'm sorry to have to be straight with you but a lot of life is about deciding certain behaviours are just wrong and that you won't accept them. The sooner people know you feel this way the sooner you will attract the right kind of people. I was a JW woman by the way, just so you know.
