do you tend to multi-task or hone in one job, giving it your full concentration until its finished?.
would you say your ability/inability to multi-task is an attribute or a curse?.
the reason i ask is that i seem to have a very short attention span.
ADHD.
Get this, I actually prefer to do this: Listen to the TV, Listen to Music, Read the internet, at the same time. This is the only way to but down my mental signal-to-noise ratio and mental baseline noise to a point where I can concentrate on whatever I want to.
Oh, medicated, I'm a one or two track mind, rather than a 3-5 track mind. It's cool.
that is incorrect as saturated fats raise both the good and the bad cholesterol and they do not cause fatty deposits in the arteries.
this is because all vegetable oils oxidize; especially when used in cooking.
saturated fat .
Uh yeah, don't think they had hydrogenated vegetable oils before the last century...I wonder why health declined and how people before civilisation survived?

My co-workers are noticing and I could tell a big difference in the outfit I wore today. I didn't wear the little sweater I normally do. I took it off and showed off my smaller waist.
Nice! :)

Holding steady at around 80kg... ate quite a bit of junk food this week during a cannabis binge... won't be doing that again anytime soon hopefully, right now I don't want to see that shit every again...however, I didn't seem to gain any weight, maybe some water retention or something.
Haven't worked out in a few days, should really get back to that, but I was almost catatonically depressed you see.
who did you get along with better socially?
fellow jw's or 'worldly people'?.
how have your social interactions changed since leaving?.
Who did you get along with better socially? Fellow JW's or 'Worldly People'?
Neither. JWs were too judgemental and Worldly People were too evil and forbidden.
How have your social interactions changed since leaving?
Not much in fundamentals. Just the groupings changed... for the better I think.
How did you make these changes?
They came with the territory [of leaving the witnesses]... pun intended
How do your friends today compare with your friends back then? (aside from the obvious)
More like myself: Individualistic, experiemental, unconditional, open-minded, non-dogmatic... if I do meet these people they get discarded.
Do you find it easier or more difficult to make friends now that you're out?
Same as before.
my wife and i have discussed this before , and it has been an education for me getting out of the jehovah's witnesses over 4 years ago to see the difference in how witnesses and non-witnesses view this subject .
my wife before we met had some guy friends who she had non sexual friendships with and she was amazed when we first started dating when i told her how strict the witnesses were on men and women hanging out together alone just as friends , and that when i was a witness i never did that - at the risk of being falsely dragged before a committee if i was found in public alone with a witness woman !
my wife was amazed at the lack of trust that the elders had in each one of us as rank and file members !
Yes, thank you WT... I'm socially inept.
george bush seniors response when journalist robert sherman asked whether he recognised the equal citizenship and patriotism of americans who are athiests, responded," no, i don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots.
this is one nation under god.
