gluttony seems to be a sin that jw's like to ignore .there are several scriptures that point out that gluttony is a sin, proverbs 23:20-21 "do not join those who gorge themselves on meat".....also i read somewhere that 1% is the number of disfellowshipped jw's each year......how do prove someone is a glutton and not just a person who love food???

BMI is just one consideration of many. I would have thought that obvious.
Percentage of body fat should be part of the overall evaluation, particularly when determining whether or not someone is obese.
The good old Archimedes dunk is still the best way to accurately determine density:
Density = Mass / Volume
I'm sure you realize only a small percentage of the population are extreme athletes with such low body fat composition, which--by the way--has its own unique set of health concerns.

eewx2: This used to bother me as I am a glutton. I used to feel incredibly bad about my sin.
Your honesty is admirable.
If your relationship with food and eating is causing you health issues, then you should seek appropriate medical help, perhaps including counseling.
But you need to know that this is not a "sin." Please realize that sin an antiquated and false notion that is probably actually contributing to your difficulties, both physically and emotionally.
Congratulations to your husband (assuming he is now at a healthy weight and has healthy lifestyle habits).

James, I'm not your personal health advisor. Do the calculations using the medical resources above or ask your doctor.

JM: An obese person in my mind one who can not get out of bed, unable to walkWell that's not how the medial profession defines obesity. Here's a medical reference for you:
What you describe, James, is someone that is even beyond what is called "morbidly obese" by medical professionals that work in this field:
"An individual is considered morbidly obese if he or she is 100 pounds over his/her ideal body weight, has a BMI of 40 or more, or 35 or more and experiencing obesity-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes." - What is Morbid Obesity? (University of Rochester Medical Center)
ever see brother ugly who is 86 being taken to the doctor by sister frigid who is 65 and also not good looking?
they have to have a chaperone or at least sit in back and front seats.
or a man who can't bring the freezing daughter in the house when he stopped briefly by because hubby is not home.
Don't think of sex! Don't think of sex!
Whatever you do: DON'T THINK OF SEX!!!
here are my notes from the r.c yesterday, the talk called "jehovah – the greatest example of endurance".
many of you will understand why i found it offensive.. jehovah has taken the hard option of choosing to endure:.
reproach to his holy name.
Wow, Creator of the Universe and yet Jehovah sounds like a whiny little spoiled brat!
Please tell him I said so. I used to talk to him often but he always ignored everything I said so I don't talk to him anymore.
If he wants to "set matters straight between us" he knows where to find me (Isaiah 1:18). I've been here waiting in the exact same place for more than six years and the local elders can't find me even though they all know my address and they all have GPS on all of their phones and in all of their cars.
I guess the angels are busy ...

Fair enough Morpheus. I'm having that drink now. Let's revisit this tomorrow!
Cheers mate!
so we've already established that most religions can be classified as high control groups, we can name the wbts, church of scientology, lds, etc.
the list goes on and on.
but are there any religions or organizations that aren't classified as a high control group or aren't as bad as the ones i've just mentioned?
No it isn't. Your response is insulting to the very people you hope read your post.
Unreliable is unreliable and that's not good enough. Learn to do serious research. You're just lazy and you do this all the time.
That's the same bullshit "research" the WTBTS expects you to accept.
Up your game dude. Get the clue. Your habitual wholesale CUT & PASTING of Wikipedia pages is beyond lame.
Learn to locate and identify reliable sources, quote their relevant comments accurately and then share your own comments and analysis on it.
And maybe you could occasionally respond to another posters comment and have an actual discussion.
i wanted to get people's opinion on something.
how do you feel when people use illegal means while performing their activism to shed light on the watchtower.
there have been people who have illegally recorded conversations with elders and with branch offices or at meetings.
Old Navy, you're overthinking this. Scan the whole thread and jump back in.
