  Cooking With Cast Iron

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. family

  i can't even remember what got me interested in pans, probably wanting to try cooking more and watching some cooking videos on youtube, but i kind of started wanting to get a cast-iron skillet specifically so started reading up on them.

  hey, if you're going to spend $50 on something you need to study them and create a comparison spreadsheet ... right?.

  not only did cast-iron look great for cooking but there are some studies that show risks to aluminium / teflon cookware ... not that the wts was "right" about aluminium, but teflon can give off carcinogenic chemicals if overheated (so what if it chips off into your food?).

  Wipe out with paper towel

  Ditto. I have used cast iron for the better part of six decades. I was instructed on how to season and use them by an old-timer who was in his eighties way back then. He said a handful of sand and a rag or a piece of crumpled paper. Of course fancy things like sea salt and paper towels had not really come along back then. A properly seasoned cast iron skillet needs nothing more than this. Leave the film from the grease and drippings from your cooking in it. Perhaps a very rare water based cleaning. Remember, water is irons enemy.

  Young People Ask... When Can I Start Dating?

  quite possibly the most annoying and patronizing thing i've read in years.

  comments of mine are in yellow.. .

  she doesn't trust herself to make her own decisions and she's going to wait years even after she thinks she's ready.

  Past the bloom of youth? So wrinkled old people are the only ones who should be dating, and then only if they marry the one and only person they ever date.

  True experience, a guy at one of the conventions saw a sister smile at him across the arena floor and he got so hot and bothered wondering if she were married and "how tight her pussy might be." Sick freak is now an elder on his second wife.
  

  Of course you are old enough and mature enough to know yourself and make a lifetime commitment to WT when you are six or seven years old!

  2. bible

  actions and consequences of lot’s wife vs. actions and consequences of david.

  genesis 19 talks about how sodom and gomorrah were destroyed.

  david under any law: yes, under the law of moses crime: adultery and murder consequence: nothing but blessings from god.

  How can these two things ever be reconciled with each other?

  Easy. One was a woman, and we all know what view of women is presented by WTB&T$ supposedly backed up by the Bible. The other was what today would be one of the governing body. And we all know what view of themselves they have!

  Has your name or reputation been maligned by the Witness gossip-mill?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as we all know, witnesses routinely share in gossiping, slandering or maligning the name and reputation of those who are "spiritually weak" or ones who "fade" or "stop associating".. they feel it is ok to speak badly of such ones who "have left jehovah's organization".. of course, some of the worst perpetrators of this are elders and their wives, who insidiously plant negative stories in the minds of all they interact with in the congregation.

  they may never have actual facts, but since when do facts matter to witnesses?

  however through such conduct they manage to separate people from one another, or cause rifts amongst former friends.. this sort of conduct is plainly inappropriate.. but what scriptures could be used if the opportunity arose to confront such ones about the way they have behaved?.

  Has your name or reputation been maligned by the Witness gossip-mill?

  Oh HELL yeah! On way too many occasions to count, mostly by the "shepherds" of the flock. Usually concerning something of a sexual nature with zero proof or verification. I am at the point of living down to their expectations.

  jws are scattered across the globe.

  a few million people left, pretty isolated from each other.. telephone lines and power goes down since the people who supported the infrastructure are dead.

  communication across town, state, country, etc is cut off.

  The brothers I know that were raised in the city will have a hell of time working the fields from sunrise to sunset and the sisters slaving over a wooden stove all day, good luck with that.

  Damn, that almost makes me want to be there. I would be "thrilled" to lay the lash on the back of a few of those city dwelling lazy louts who have spent the last few years before the big "A" telling the rest of the R&F to DO MORE.

  JWs have such a low bar for what passes as proof that these statements make perfect sense to them.

  Well I predicted there would be a political change in the United States in November 2016. I just wasn't sure if it would be a female, or a male elected. Am I good, or what? I also predict that exactly one year from today, right to the exact minute that somewhere in the United States there will be snow on the ground. I'm just not positive of where, or how much.

  by bohm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw this on reddit:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/5mlgsm/2017_yearbook_of_jehovahs_witnesses/.

  overall the numbers are better than last year (1.8% growth compared to 1.5% last year -- as i predicted ;-) ) with an increase in all major figures including 1300 more congregations (i assume this is not physical kingdom halls?).

  7,499 hrs to get 1 Baptizim..

  Another way of looking at that number is if that time were spent in productive full-time employment with a modest two week vacation period you would spend 3.8 years working and getting paid for your time. If it were only a one hour per week program it would take you 144.2 years. No wonder I got FedUp wasting my precious time!

  In due course, technical requirements for receiving the program will be provided

  In other words, you have time to beg the LDC to let you spend some of your own money to install over-priced, unneeded audio video equipment, followed by months of begging the flock to GIVE MORE and then beating them for not ever giving enough.

  Damned greedy bastards!!

  #7 this morning.

  That perhaps some sort of "spiritual" manipulation by the JDubs.
