  although in retrospect, it's no more extreme than those jws who die refusing blood.... adam.

  Methinks he doth protest too much.

  The research, published in the April 2012 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, reveals the nuances of prejudices like homophobia, which can ultimately have dire consequences. [The 10 Most Destructive Human Behaviors]

  "Sometimes people are threatened by gays and lesbians because they are fearing their own impulses, in a sense they 'doth protest too much,'" Ryan told LiveScience. "In addition, it appears that sometimes those who would oppress others have been oppressed themselves, and we can have some compassion for them too, they may be unaccepting of others because they cannot be accepting of themselves."

  Actually a study a few years ago showed a correlation between those men who adamantly voiced hatred towards gays and gay tendencies. Regarding the Utah guy: an excellent way to cull the herd (DNA pool).

  anyone read the "fat girl's guide to life"?

  i am reading it right now and finding it pretty interesting.

  it makes me think outside the box a little bit about how much money is spent on products for people to lose weight, and how much money saturates the market and influences so much of the media.. the author's attitude is one i try to have-- exercise, be balanced in eating habits, drink water, take nutrition supplements, and don't obsess over dieting & what the scale says or about other people's judgements toward my weight.. right now, i already know why i am overweight-- i am eating to deal with my bipolar issues.

  I don't know what visceral fat percentage means. I'm 6 ft. tall (exactly), weigh 170 lbs.. I work out a lot, eat a very healthy diet and have no visible body fat. My BP stays around 117 over 70 something to 80 and my resting heart rate is 68 - 70 bpm. I'm also never sick (other than allergies).

  I agree. Obesity is the real issue, not a few pounds. But more than a few carries health risks from what the latest science suggests. But, alas, I am very shallow. I prefer no visible body fat, on me or my other.

  Sorry Besty but the latest studies say something different. This was in the news just a few weeks ago:

  You Can’t Be Fit and Fat

  By Alexandra Sifferlin @acsifferlin Dec. 02, 2013

  It’s okay to be heavy, as long as you don’t have diabetes or hypertension–right? Not so fast, says the latest research.

  There are always exceptions to the rule, and that’s true of health issues too. While the bulk of studies warn about the dangers — to the heart, liver, kidneys and other body systems — of gaining weight, a small number of trials suggested that some overweight or obese individuals may be as healthy as their normal weight counterparts, since they had normal blood pressure, no diabetes and relatively stable cholesterol levels. In fact, one study found that overweight individuals (but not obese people) tended to live longer than those of normal weight.

  But in a comprehensive review of studies dating back to the 1950s, scientists contradict that idea, with evidence that it’s not possible to be both overweight and healthy.

  You say fake tan, fake eye lashes and slut suit like those are bad things. ;-). Just kidding. What about fake boobs? Those are some of my favorite things. Not kidding. Otherwise, I'm a guy and I won't comment about a weight gain/loss issue originated by a woman in a milliion years. I notice that almost no other men have either. See, we are not all stupid.

  we are all set for a lovely xmas week and nice holiday, but this image is indellably printed in my brain and i cannot erase it.. .

  it's from the bible teach book, chapter 16 para 11. i did that many bible studies and trained them how we need to make a stand for true worship and not ever return to pagan practices.. so now over this season of good will, and fun i have a literal bitter taste.. are you having flash backs?

  how can we remove these images from our brain?

  Kate,

  I say the same thing in your post about sex. LOSE the JW language ASAP and the rest will be much easier. Think about all of the JW specific terms we were indoctrinated with - 'the truth,' 'apostate,' 'immoral,' etc. If you stop using words like that and replace them with more accurate adjectives and nouns, you will find it much easier to leave the control behind.

  Yeah, me too. When I was appointed an elder is when the wheels started coming off. Getting closer to the core of the apple revealed the rottenness of the apple.

  with phil robertson getting the boot within a day of his comments by a&e, what would happen if the lbg community started calling all of the venue managers of their convention arenas and exposing them for the hate group they are today?

  just a thought.

  When you espouse your religious 'convictions' (another word in this instance for hatred, intolerance and bigotry) within your domicile or the domiciles of your brethren (I think they call those churces), nobody really gives a rip. When you take it out on the street, and that street is populated with all sorts of different people, many of which help to pay your salary and make you quasi-famous, and then rant about those you find abhorrent, don't be surprised when there is pushback. This hasn't anything to do with his religion or his 'christianity.'
