  openminded that was a great summary.

  Leander- some other food hints and tips are to make it EASY for yourself to eat healthy...

  -start your day with WATER!
  -definitely eat a good breakfast (egg whites and oatmeal and WATER!)
  -get rid of the junk food in your house. don't buy it.
  -replace with fruit & already cut veggies (keep it quick and ez to grab when the cravings hit)
  -buy ready-made salad in a bag, (big time saver & veggies not as likely to go bad in yer fridge).
  -lotsa water (get into the habit of carrying a water bottle with you everywhere)
  -raisins are a sweetfix and increase metabolism.
  -nuts are good too (better than greasy junk food anyway!)
  - don't eat 3hrs b4 bead

  Eating 6 "meals" a day is a great tip.
  Combining good eating with weight training and cardio (and don't forget stretching/flexibility) really should whip ya back into shape pretty quick.

  My most important tip is to "mix it up" a lot. Don't bore yourself with too mundane a workout schedule. If u find yourself getting bored, try new stuff that makes it fun to get off the couch and up and ACTIVE!!! Rockclimbing is a great workout. Kickboxing (or martial arts) is fun and challenging. Riding motorbikes works your stabilizer muscles and doesn't feel like work at all! Walk or cycle to work sometime. Dancing is great cardio (just don't drink too much alcohol if at a club...it packs on the sugar calories).

  Joining a sports team in your workplace or community is great workout motivation and also a good way to meet new people (i haven't done this yet, but am thinking about it).

  Try anything and everything you've always wanted to try.
  Remind yourself you are worth it. Keep your workout appointments with yourself. Use all those times that you woulda been sitting on your ass at a meeting to take good care of yourself now!!

  My favorite tip of all: Have a cheat day. And i do mean CHEAT! Reward yourself for a week wellspent taking good care of yourself, virtually BINGE! Only once a week though okay and don't keep any cheat food around throughout the week. Only on cheat day!!!

  Good luck Leander...Power to ya!
  I'm back on the exercise and eating 1/2 decent lifestyle too and feeling great!!! (I ran my first 10K this past sunday...super proud of meself!)

  Pub Record Card Policy

  by VitoJW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remeber in a bofe meeting with co, the comment was made by the co that w/o having the pub's record card on file, a congregation could not df someone, or at least would have to be very careful in doing so for legal reasons.

  i thought at the time that he may have gotten his info from a letter from bethel.. has anyone else heard of such?

  maybe i make them an offer they cannot refuse........

  pisses me off that some borg freakazoid somewhere
  is keeping 'files' on me and doing with that info
  however 'they' collectively see fit.

  how would they like it if i did the same to them?
  (you know...clearly they are 'doing unto others'...)

  No windows on Kingdom Halls?

  by just_a_girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read a post on another site i belong to (non-jw related) where a person asked if anyone knew why jws do not have windows on their kingdom halls.

  a few other people responded saying that they had noticed the same thing, that they thought it was b/c the jws believe that windows are just an adornment, hence a distraction?.

  in my 20+ years of being a jw and attending quick builds, i never noticed this ... it never even dawned on me ... and now that i try to think back, i can't remember there being any windows at the khs i attended?.

  LOL @ Noi

  I too attended 2 or 3 halls with windows. As a kid i used to frequently count the windows and try to peek out the curtains. Maybe that's why they stopped building them with windows.

  Or maybe it was in order to block out the "light"...hehe

  I also used to stare up and count the light fixtures. I wonder if they'll soon be holding the meetings entirely in the dark. It would be cost-effective AND mind-numbing. tee-hee.

  One hall i attended seemed especially susceptible to "attack" every halloween night. It would get vandalized, windows broken, graffiti painted outside. They now do a special "patrol" on halloween in order to discourage the perps.

  Letting go of JW relatives (Long)

  by MegaDude in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out of the jws for some time now, seven years.

  like many of you, i left a lot of acquaintances, friends, and family behind.. the acquaintances were fairly easy to let go, the friends very hard, and the family, well, near impossible, at least up until now.

  that she should listen to both sides of the story without fear and make her own decision.

  Great thread Mega...

  ...so applicable and realistic to what xdubs face.

  My family situation was basically that it was extremely
  dysfunctional at almost every turn, so to be honest,
  i'm finding it to be quite a RELIEF to be "out" now.
  I'm fortunate in that, I guess.

  I miss certain friends more than i will ever miss my family.

  Now i'm just rebuilding a life from scratch. Starting from the inside out. New friends i consider "family". It's a new lease on life.

  One or two members of my jdub family still occasionally makes contact with me, but only when they need me...to vent to me about each other. I'm tired of the double standard about talking to me, the selfishness, the prevailing lack of love they all have for each other. Sometimes i think the shunning arrangment, intended to "protect" the jw cong. ends up being even more a protection for the xdub. Feels that way in my situation anyway. So personally i'm "grateful" for it at this point in my life.

  I'm even considering a move to another province/state to increase the distance from the games and manipulations, played by my family, both in and out of the troof. I don't hate them. Life's just too short for all the bs they waste my time & energy with. I need my space from them. We'll see.

  To the Canadians

  by Robdar in

  2. friends

  i want to send my heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the canadians for what happened in afghanistan this week.

  it breaks my heart that the actions of this nation have affected your good country in such a horrible way.

  please know that there are many of us in united states who are appalled and dismayed over the "friendly fire" accident.
