Something else too I have noticed is that some people seem to have escaped it well, but when you dig deeper, they really did not escape as untouched, as was originally thought.

Is it possible for a child to be exposed to JWism and not be damaged by it?
by Mickey mouse inwhat do you think?
were you raised as a jw and feel you suffered no ill effects?
or do you feel it had a negative impact on your life?.

For some reason, my granny made jiffy mix cornbread, she was the only one in the family to make it that way. She made the best biscuits and gravy, the best fried chicken, the best pies, everything she made was so good, but for some reason she always made jiffy mix cornbread. She was from Carter County, perhaps that was the diviing line where the yellow meal ended and the white meal began. Either way she was a good cook.

Don't forget the fried cabbage or the wilted lettuce and onions.

Ok Snowbird, for the casserole itself, yeah Yellow would be better, but for just plain cornbread, we mountain folk use white meal. Martha White is good, but Dorsal's brand out of Kentucky is the best for cornbread.

As an Appalachian American whose family came from deep in Eastern Kentucky, I can say that I was raised up on beans and cornbread, but the cornmeal must be white, and the bread itself no thicker than 1 inch. Golden brown (almost burnt) on bottom, and slightly greasy.
I believe this casserole you are talking about is mostly a midwest thing as my Ky family never fixed it, but my Illinois stepgrandma made it several times, and yes it is delicious.
I am going to attempt to make this myself. -

Why all Christianity is repulsive to me
by portcontrol7 inthe crux of all christianity is that an omnipotent and loving god sent a human sacrifice to atone for the sins of a (fictional) man, knowing full well that he would be horribly tortured and mocked.
if that god existed (which i'm grateful he/she/it doesn't), i would be proud to oppose it.
there are 3 main types of christians in my opinion:.

Well portcontrol07, if you hate Christianity that much, that puts you at odds with 75%+ of the population, you aren't much different than you were as a JW. That would make you an outcast still.

Turning 40... A male perspective needed pls
by yknot inmy hubby is turning 40 next year.
this apparently is nagging at him pretty bad.
(not too sure why, i mean he looks the exact same as he did the day i met him!.....

35 was the turning point for me. 30 wasn't that bad.
I am now 38, and feel like an old man from another era, I still think in 1970's and 1980's mindset.
Most of the guys my age at work are married and have families, it is kind of hard for me, because even if I do get married again, I probably won't have children, unless I marry a much younger woman.
My hair has started turning gray in the past few years, which isn't that bad, but the goattee that I sometimes wear on vacation, is much more grayer and that makes me feel older.
I may post some more later -

I can't imagine any JW, with the exception of the elderly who attends the morning study, being sad over this, but I guess that is possible.
Me, I would have been glad to have one less night to fool with. Do you reckon many are faking sadness, but instead are actually relieved to have a little more free time?
