  Your eating habits

  by greendawn in

  2. friends

  tell us about your eating habits, are you health conscious do you avoid synthetic additives in food such as artificial flavours and preservatives and generally all processed food, are you vegetarian, vegan, do you buy organic food out of fear of pesticides, do you eat too much, do you go on diets often etc .

  i was shocked to read somewhere that 90% of the food americans eat is processed.

  it saves time using such food but....

  i'm afraid i haven't finished ranting yet.

  sorry peoples.. we have been shunned for five years now by my husband's jw family, who are his parents, his brother, my sister in law and their two little children.. this evening, my mother in law rang, asking my husband to ring his brother as his wife was unwell and unable to work for the next couple of weeks.

  could we lend them some money for a while!!!!!

  Are you far too trusting in other people?

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm afraid i am.

  it is in my nature to expect everyone to act in the best interests of everyone else.

  i never expect that others will intentionally cause harm to another in a willfull and malisious act.

  I contacted my Elder father and mom...

  by White Waves in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after 8 mos of shunning acknowledged by familia and friends, i contacted my elder dad - mike, and he put my mommy on the phone for support - she was never the touchy feely type - more the depressed secluded type.

  i wanted to know if my dad had any reason why i shouldn't send my official da letter to 2 congregations and parishioners (since my first request was denied).

  he told me they then could have no contact with me, instead of limited contact.... i told them my jw family has had no contact with me since october and i did not even receive an invite to my baby sister's wedding in december- who i raised and cared for for 3 1/2 years while my mother was in a depression and had health problems.
