  I just can’t believe They really did say that egg yolk is harmful and suggested those ultra processed egg substitutes? This is shockingly bad advice.

  
  

  “reduce your consumption of egg yolks to one or two per week; use egg whites or egg substitutes in cooking and baking.

  This next advice really is opposite of good advice-“Meat is listed in the last section of the Food Guide Pyramid same as poultry and fish. However, fish, chicken, and turkey often contain less fat per serving than such meats as beef, lamb, and pork,”

  This advice is the exact opposite to what you should be doing.

  I would turn their food pyramid upside down and put the carbs on the top and these should make up the least part. The fatty meat that they say should be on the top should be the bottom and the most part of your diet. Beef, lamb especially good fatty parts should be far more healthy than the processed bread products that they say should make up the majority of your diet.

  Do the exact opposite of what they say here and you will be much more healthy.

  Warning wrong advice from WT- “ “ At the base of the pyramid are complex carbohydrates, which include grain foods, such as bread, cereal, rice, and pasta. These foods are the foundation of a healthful diet. On the second tier are two equal sections; one is vegetables, and the other is fruits. These foods are also complex carbohydrates. Most of your daily diet should be selected from these three food groups.

  The third tier has two smaller sections. One section has such foods as milk, yogurt, and cheese; and the other includes meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts.a Only moderate amounts of foods should be eaten from these groups. Why? Because most of these foods are rich in saturated fat, which can increase the risk of coronary disease and cancer.

  Finally, at the very top of the pyramid is a small area that includes saturated fats. Animal fat and yolk. These foods provide very few nutrients and should be eaten sparingly. More foods should be chosen from the bottom part of the pyramid, and fewer from the top.” “

  Now Here is the exact opposite of what WT advice is

  ——

  At the base of the pyramid are animal fats like fatty steak, fatty lamb, egg yolk and fatty seafoods. These foods are the foundation of a healthful diet. Most of your daily diet should be selected from these three food groups.

  The next tier has two smaller sections. complex carbohydrates, which include grain foods, such as bread, cereal, rice, and pasta. On the second tier are two equal sections; one is vegetables, and the other is fruits. These foods are also high in carbohydrates.

  Only moderate amounts of foods should be eaten from these groups.

  Finally, at the very top of the pyramid is a small area that includes seed oils, and sweets. These foods provide very few nutrients and should be eaten sparingly. More foods should be chosen from the bottom part of the pyramid, and fewer from the top.

  Where is Tony?

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  If it was health reasons why he was removed then what about Steve Lett? He is not looking very healthy after all his vaccines yet he hasn’t been removed from the GB?

  That second article is saying to avoid the good fat in egg yolk and nice steak. This is wrong and extremely bad advice. They are saying seed oils and margarine are better than natural fat. This is absolutely dangerous advice and this alone proves that Jehovah is giving very bad advice here.

  There is no way that good saturated fat in good quality fish and seafood should be avoided like Jehovah’s publications are saying there and replacing them with seed oils and margarine is extremely harmful advice.

  Then they even say to heat the seed oils to very high temperatures. This advice is so very harmful.

  ”Cook the food until it is very hot. ”

  my thoughts are that these seed oils and margarine are harmful but if you follow watchtower advice and Cook seed oils and margarines until it is very hot it is even more harmful to the point of extreme

  this is absolutely unbelievably bad and toxic advice from Jehovah’s organisation. The writing department is directly responsible for leading 8 million Jdubs away from healthy fatty meat, seafood and egg yolk. This is the health fat and not the seed oils Cooked until it is very hot.

  They honestly have got it exactly the opposite way around. How can this be the one true religion when the direction is so dangerous

  even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.

  they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.

  i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

  Ron the entire attitude to everything is JW lite. You don’t need to do all the things you used to, and you don’t have to avoid the things we used to avoid.

  Its a good thing all round but as has been said, some feel disgruntled that they had it so hard for their lives, now it’s all so easy.

  Retirement

  by jehovaxx in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the difference is now blatantly obvious, older ones who went against direction of the gb and planned for retirement have relatively more comfortable lives.. those who trusted and followed gb direction never got further education or training, pioneered or spent most of their lives knocking on doors for free, making just enough to get by in a part time job.. if you followed direction from the gb then you thought the end was just around the corner so no need to plan for retirement.. now these ones have indeed got old which they were given the impression they never would.

  they are a burden on others.

  the state has to pay for them in their old age.

  When you mention proverbs 6:6-8 I hear that scripture applied to working hard for Jehovah. It just shows how you can make the Bible say almost whatever you want.

  The GB often twist scripture or part quote it and then give a long explanation why it means what they want it to mean.

  I don’t know where they get the idea that further education and getting a good job is unscriptural?

  Vidiot it’s a very good thing to pick and choose what makes sense to you. Full unsubscribing is not inevitable at all. A lot of us love the idea of the Bibles promises have some form of truth to them.

  Personally I have hope that the Bible is Gods word and even though we don’t really understand it all, perhaps the hope of something better is better than no hope at all.

  The GB are clearly wrong about much if not almost everything. But the hope the Bible promises may have to truth to it, or maybe not at all. I’m comfortable in not knowing.

  i been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….

  …dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….

  …i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….

  Yes when you

  sre fully indoctrinated you never even think about looking at something that realistically challenges what you have been told to be true.

  it’s a good lesson for everyone to reexamine everything

  New Study: Mars Once Was Completely Covered in Oceans

  by Sea Breeze in

  "the new study indicates that the oceans that covered the entire planet in water were at least 300 metres deep.

  they may have been up to one kilometre deep.".

  yet, some secularists say they are sure that the earth was never completely flooded with water above the tops of mountains as described in genesis.

  They lie about Mars, they did not put a rover on the planet 12 yrs ago. All the pictures are lies, they are all taken on Earth.
