Anyone here tried the PALEO DIET?

by StAnn in

hubby and i are getting ready to start.

looking for some input, if you have any.

thanks!

One big difference between this paleo diet and the real one practiced by the hunter gatherers, is omega 3. All the meat those guys ate, and the eggs, had lots of omega 3 oil. More acurately, it was balanced w the 6 and 9 oils. The omega 3 came from the grass, which made it from sunlight. Green grass is what makes egg yokes the darker orange color. Few animals we eat, these days get much green grass.

The big thing about getting enough omega 3 is that it tends to stop inflammations. Chronic inflammations are at the root of a LOT of diseases: arterioschlerosis, artheritis, some digestive diseases, to name a few. This inflammation subject comes up often on the science news site that i read - http://www.physorg.com/sort/date/all/.

You can add omega3 to your diet very easily. I settled on linseed oil (flax oil, cold pressed) for mine. For my wieght, 1 tblsp a day was about right. You can add it to salad, soup, stew, spag sauce, etc. The recommend that you don't cook it. Keep it in the fridge. It has a slight grassy taste.

[endif]i had a diner with the neighbors... they don't know i'm a jw cause i don't tell people anymore about it.

somehow, the topic of cults came up and one of my neighbors said that the jw require 10% of their income to go to the church.

Don't you know who he thinks he is??!! Haha. You could view stuff like that as small stuff and let it go. People talk a lot of bs, it seems.

What about your vow to Jehovah?

by a watcher in

did you get baptized without being dedicated?.

why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.

why were you serving jehovah at all?

Satanus

Yhwh gave a specific recipe for his insence. Aaron and the priests were required to burn incense to yhwh.

*** it-1 p. 1195 Incense ***
At the W end of the Holy compartment of the tabernacle, next to the curtain dividing it off from the Most Holy, was located “the altar of incense.” (Ex 30:1; 37:25; 40:5, 26, 27) There was also a similar incense altar in Solomon’s temple. (1Ch 28:18; 2Ch 2:4) Upon these altars, every morning and evening the sacred incense was burned.

(Exodus 30:7, 8) 7 “And Aaron must make perfumed incense smoke upon it. Morning by morning, when he dresses the lamps, he will make it smoke. 8 And when Aaron lights up the lamps between the two evenings, he will make it smoke. It is an incense constantly before Jehovah during YOUR generations.

(2 Chronicles 29:7, 8) 7 They also closed the doors of the porch and kept the lamps extinguished, and incense they did not burn, and burnt sacrifice they did not offer up in the holy place to the God of Israel. 8 And Jehovah’s indignation came to be against Judah and Jerusalem, . . .

(Psalm 141:2) 2?May my prayer be prepared as incense before you, The raising up of my palms as the evening grain offering.

The wt portrays burning incense in only a negative light. Yet, it was a requirement that yhwh set down for the jewish priests, and yhwh was angry when the preists stopped burning it. The catholic and the orthodox churches certainly use this in their worship. The gd claims to be mediators for all jws and the whole world, really. That puts the gb on the level of the ot jewish priests, whom were the mediators to yhwh. The gb is in a position to burn insence, when they pray to their god or have their secret meetings. Its something that pleased yhwh immensly in the ot, when aaron and the priests did it in the temple.

Satanus

Without the bible or the wt telling you how to serve jehovah, how do you know what he likes you to do for him? In the ot, he loved it when people who had other gods were killed. He also loved gallons and gallons of animal blood poured out in his name. Burning incense made jehovah happy, too. I guess that was how they loved him. In place of killing, do you burn incense for jehovah, watcher?

I haven't done it. When i read up on it, it seemed to be the cure for many chronic diseases. That is simply because its on what we humans evolved. Its what our bodies are best adapted to. Europeans have adapted somewhat though, to dairy products and are a bit less susceptible to diabetes than native americans are. They can hold their beer better, too.

Imitate the Angels (GB talk)

by zound in

a fairly interesting talk - he also gave it or a similar one for bethel graduation talks.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdaz8cb0uck.

a few things that stuck out to me:.

he begins by saying that we have to be careful when imitating humans as they are imperfect - but we can imitate everything about angels as they are perfect.

Satanus

Angels are invisible, not to be worshipped, so, why imitate them? If the gb was christian, they would encourage people to imitate jesus.

Theists - Why does Morality require the existence of God?

by cantleave in

"without god in your life, you cannot have a moral compass",,,, please explain to me why you think that should be so?

'I don't quite see the connection from empathy to morality...even if I never saw or experienced murder, I would not be tempted to commit murder.'

I'm not sure if i get what your question is. Empathy is what we feel, coming from inside us. Morals, as in a moral code, is a mental set of rules that we may have drawn up for ourselves, based on society, based on beliefs, based on our own feelings of empathy, based on our religion, based on the gang we run w, based on our view of god. The way i see it, empathy is a simple thing that comes from inside us. Morals are much more complex.

No problem.

'Research in recent years has focused on possible brain processes underlying the experience of empathy. For instance, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been employed to investigate the functional anatomy of empathy. [ 32 ] [ 33 ] These studies have shown that observing another person's emotional state activates parts of the neuronal network involved in processing that same state in oneself, whether it is disgust, [ 34 ] touch, [ 35 ] [ 36 ] or pain. [ 37 ] [ 38 ] [ 39 ] [ 40 ] The study of the neural underpinnings of empathy has received increased interest following the target paper published by Preston and Frans de Waal, [ 41 ] following the discovery of mirror neurons in monkeys that fire both when the creature watches another perform an action as well as when they themselves perform it. In their paper, they argued that attended perception of the object's state automatically activates neural representations, and that this activation automatically primes or generates the associated autonomic and somatic responses (idea of perception-action-coupling [ 42 ] ), unless inhibited. This mechanism is similar to the common coding theory between perception and action. Another recent study provides evidence of separate neural pathways activating reciprocal suppression in different regions of the brain associated with the performance of "social" and "mechanical" tasks. These findings suggest that the cognition associated with reasoning about the "state of another person's mind" and "causal/mechanical properties of inanimate objects" are neurally suppressed from occurring at the same time. [ 43 ] [ 44 ]'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy#Neurological_basis

Psychos hide what they do so they can avoid repercussions, not because of guilt. If they feel guilt, they aren't that psycho. Psychopaths are devoid of those kind of feelings.

' Psychopathy

Psychopaths exhibit antisocial and aggressive behavior, as well as some emotional and interpersonal traits in the form of shallow emotions, manipulation of others, and lack of guilt and empathy for victims. [ 67 ] [ 68 ]

It has been suggested that children with psychopathic traits and adult psychopaths have particular impairments in recognizing distress cues (e.g. facial and vocal expressions of fear and sadness), yet match control groups at recognizing other facial and vocal expressions of emotions like happiness. [ 69 ] [ 70 ] [ 71 ] Individuals with psychopathy don't process others' signals of distress as unpleasant, which results in a lack of empathy which then fails to prevent behavior that creates distress in others. [ 72 ] [ 73 ]

Individuals with psychopathy have biological differences from controls when they implicitly process facial emotions. The underlying biological surfaces for processing facial expressions of happiness are functionally intact, although less responsive than those of controls. In contrast, individuals with psychopathy display an atypical pattern of response to fearful faces compared with neutral faces, including decreased activation of the fusiform and extrastriate cortical regions. This may partly account for impaired recognition of and reduced autonomic responsiveness to expressions of fear, and impairments of empathy. [ 74 ] [full citation needed]'
