Well i guess on the positive side it can be " counted" at least the study conductors maintainded contact after Baptisam, when they couldn't count hours. You see we all have our redeeming qualities.

Have you had a crisis of concience?
by new hope and happiness inmy little boy has decided he wants to be a vegetarian and has been for over a year now.
i fully accepted and supported this.. my view however is no matter what you eat or how you eat it ....beings will die for you to eat.. i have noticed where we live we have the terms " free range" and " ecological".
if affordable i am sure most peoples preferrd option for their own health and the conditions of the animals.. i would say everyone has the right to eat what they want within reason.

Thank you Liza Rose for the reply. Freerange and organic chickens produce a healther fat content, so not only is taste king, your hubby eating healther also.
No i havn't seen the film " food inc" but thats not too say i wont in the future.
Londo111:- you do want your concience tells you with what you eat. But as i said on an earlier post " Health is Wealth" and i am convinced as we get older its very wise to avoid cheaper and less quality food products if affordable.
I wonder how in a hundred years time how our eating habits will have changed? I think vegetarian food will be much more popular and of greater selection.Unfortunately i bet we still have the starving Millions.

NoMoreHustler|:- from what you write " your very good friend" who bought you in to the truth would like you to just quietly leave. I would go so far to say he is fully aware the organisation is bunk and now your questions are not welcome.
I hope things work out with the family. No rush.

I dont see it that way Terry. I dont think the way i live my life is better than Jehovers Witnesses. You see i have my life and they have there life. I think a sincere Jehovers Witness who lives his life not dominated by anger or greed and with genuine concern mankind is living a good life. Ok he may be sincerly wrong and he may not realise he has compromised his own ethical and moral standards as his indoctrination has effected his " moral compass". But i having woken up to the G.B and waking up too the propoganda i am fed by marketing, advertising, politicians ect and i think ....maybe i aint much different.

" Champion the Wonder Horse" ....Ronnie Layne.
Ok a pony isn't exactley a horse, but that song from the T.V show of the same name, took me back to my first T.V exsperience. It was vising my friend to watch this show as his mum and dad were one of the few families to own a T.V set.

SAHS: You write with great passion and express my similar thoughts in a way i wish i could.
I am sure an animals capcaity for suffering is not less than mine.
I think we tend to label people. At the moment i am not eating meat, but i eat fish. I mean no disrespect to anyone buti think it sad that the poor in socirty who can't afford organic food or free range are really eating meet which isn't even healthy.( in my opinion)

Yes memorializing those who died in one event doesn't diminish the importance of those who died in thousands of other events throughout history.

Are we starting to treat DF people differently?
by Quarterback insome may remember the time when the private study edition of the wt wasn't to be made available to outsiders, and the df'd.. now, with the recent boe letter, sept 1, 2014, it specifically states that jw.org is making the km available even for df'd individuals.. do you sense a new trend developing?.

If they got rid of disfellowshipping they loose the power of limited and controlled information they have on the flock.
