Do you think that most "thin"people have hatred towards "heavy" people?

by booker-t in

i know this might sound abit "paranoid" but as i mentioned on other posts before i am a "heavy" person who is losing weight.

so far i have lost 65 pounds and i am still losing through a "strict"diet and exercise.

i was at a restaurant the other day and there were 4 "thin" people sitting at a table across from a "very heavy overweight" man.

I don't know if there is a hatred towards heavy people, but there are preconceptions about heavy people:

1. They're gluttons.

2. They eat junk food

3. They're lazy and don't exercise.

Preconceptions maybe,but often true.Is the word "heavy" a new buzzword for a fat person?Obviously it is.Why dont we just call a spade a spade for Gawds sake?

Though a person who has serious health issues deserves everyones support(please remember i said that!!),i dont think the same can be said for a greedy or lazy person.Obesity in America is a big problem it would appear and the problem in Britain and Europe seems to be getting worse.

Should you apologize????

by jw in

jw

yes, a person should never be too proud to swallow his pride, apologize, and seek forgiveness.

abigail, a wise woman in ancient israel, provides an example of the power of an apology, although her apology was for a wrong that her husband had committed.

while dwelling in the wilderness, david, who later became king of israel, together with his men protected the flock that belonged to abigail's husband, nabal.

Matter of fact I am surprised no one critisized my typo's. Shooting fish in a barrel isnt sport mate.

Have I changed?

yesterday my ex-boyfriend came into town, several months ago who moved away and we had to break off our relationship.

the relationship was rocky; however, before he was going to move, so it was easy to let him go.

we reconciled as he was away and we are good friends.

Sorry,but im glad for him that he is your EX-boyfriend.

The cards are stacked in the WTS favor this summer

by Gregor in

the upcoming dc program, whatever it is, will have a very receptive audience.

if the wts was ever going to do anything audacious, now is the time.

they will be allowed to get away with anything they say.

They can jump in the bed and pull the Watchtower blanket over their head and suck on their promises and just like a pacifier they will be soothed for a time, but they will receive no sustenance from it.

hee hee i like that.so true

Does items considered part of the "Occult" still scare you?

by free2beme in

if i met you and you saw that i wear a pentagram and often speak about tarot and rune, and mention how i do magick and you saw that i have a wiccan calender on my wall and there are statues around my house of gargoyles, dragons, and other things no good witness would be caught dead with.

would you be okay with this or does your mind still see these items as demons?

i a an adult, i can accept people being judgemental of these items and i do come to expect it, especially with my own personal background in the religion.
