In the past I have consumed enough alcohol to last me forever!
I'm pregnant and I haven't had one alcoholic drink for 5 months (since I found out. Fortunately before I found out I had already cut down a lot and I was 6 weeks pregnant when I found out).
I fully intend to not have any at all when the baby is born. Plus I'm going to try and breastfeed so I can't drink then either!
I personally use the following rule to decide if I am able to have a drink or not: If I feel sad/depressed/lonely/anxious/any negative emotions I choose not to drink. If I'm feeling content/happy/confident/any positive emotions, I will give myself permission to drink.
This is great, because like Momz, I found myself only drinking to dull the pain. Coping with ordinary life without turning to a crutch like alcohol is the most important thing, IMHO.
Now the alcohol isn't an option (pregnancy) I find I can cope very well without it anyway! Plus I feel 100% healthier.

An Interesting YouTube debate I had with a JW
by B_Deserter inso most of you have probably seen my youtube video what you should know about jehovah's witnesses, which can be found here.
naturally, this draws quite a negative response from the jw community, but this particular person decided to send me a personal message.. you wanna talk smack about witnesses or anyone in general you better have your facts straight.
everything you said is taken almost enitrly out of context to our true practices.

I would ask him if the 1914 date is correct?
If he discounts 607, then does he also discount the significance of 1914?
It would be interesting if he did. It might even reveal a trend in his area.
As for the bible being "flawed" by men, I think he needs to re-read the scripture which says "all scripture is inspired..." etc.

New JW Speculations: "Watch the Lebanon!"
by Sirona inok a couple of jws in my family have said this.. we were talking about usa politics and the comment was made "it doesn't matter who gets in....it will all result in the same outcome.
watch the lebanon!
" (jw gives a knowing look and emphasises the lebanon bit).

"The" Lebanon is something which is said here in the UK. I've even heard it on TV news. It isn't correct - I dont know where it came from.
If they've got some inside information about Armageddon coming, you'd think they'd SHARE it!

Bethelite: Elder burnout, R&F disillusionment led to book study change
by pseattle2 inplease visit the blog: http://governingbodyletters.blogspot.com/2008/05/bethelites-viewpoint-on-recent.html.
a bethelite's viewpoint on the recent organization changesto me the most obvious reason has nothing to do with control, or money.
it has everything to do with the serious shortage of qualified brothers who can (or who are willing to) be used.

What the heck does this mean? (I was too tired to ask what was meant, plus they'd have probably been vague about it)
Anyone else heard this? Any ideas?

Taking apart the Memorial
by jgnat ina new poster inspired me to take a look at the memorial talk and the way that the witnesses honor (dishonor) jesus' memory.
i had mentioned that the form is, from this christian's point of view, an abomination.
the participant is encouraged to look and not partake.

Very interesting.
I do think that this is a very important topic for JWs and ExJWs because the entire Christian faith is of course based on the sacrifice of Jesus and his resurrection.
I find it interesting that you quoted scriptures which seem to indicate that the breaking of bread was done weekly.
