I'm just loving this subject! We've been experimenting with different ways of eating for many years now. Mostly due from the desire to enjoy better health. Thinking back to how 'each way of eating' made me feel, the VERY BEST was ALL RAW VEGAN! Now, when I get into something, it's usually all the way, so we purchased several books, the big 9 tray Dehydrator, two juicers, two sprouting jars and went to town. Every meal was made from a variety of Raw fruits, veggies, sprouted grains and seeds. It took some time to get the hang of it, and became less labor intensive as we became more familiar with all the growing and handling issues. This I did for a full four months, and I NEVER felt better in my life! BUT... my family wasn't as interested, and they finally won. Preparing two types of meals was just more than I could handle. In 2004, my husband had a very serious health scare/issue. We've spent close to 10K on different medical procedures and care. The ONLY thing that actually helped him was a two week WATER ONLY FAST in 5/2006! Finally, the rest of our family is seeing the importance of DIET and it's direct relation to how healthy we are. The juicers are going, the veggies & fruits & grains are being enjoyed... and we're feeling better than ever. The only time anyone gets a cold in our family is AFTER consuming junk food. I've documented it. As long as the consumption is kept wholesome and mostly raw, everything is better~ EVERYTHING~ behavior and health!

We dress up, trick or treat, pass out candy and go to the school's party :) Living in a predominantly religious area, there are many families that trick or treat in a church parking lot, or go to private parties with their children. My preference for costumes and decorations would be cute, harvest type, or something imaginative without all the horror and gore~

Was this the picture? ...

:huh: who is THAT guy? Certainly isn't my husband!

Your Dominant Intelligence is Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence You are naturally athletic and coordinated, good at making your mind and body work together. Sports are fun and easy for you, especially those requiring good hand - eye coordination. There's also a good chance you're a great dancer, or good at expressing yourself through body language. You learn best by doing, and you feel like you've always got to be moving (even if it's just your hands). You would make a good athlete, physical education teaches, dancer, actor, firefighter, or artisan. :) what fun!

I had been trying to block out some events... but, thanks to you WordWolf, it's all coming back to me now do I hear jingle bells?

ChasUFarley, most people around here pronounce it 'veegan'. Don't know if there is a right or wrong way~

You were almost killed? Died? :unsure: :( :unsure:

TempleLady... that was one BIG wall!

TWI is far too involved in THEIR FOLLOWER’S BUSINESS, personal and all others! Thinking, eating, exercising, drinking, love making, school, work, neighbors, fellowships, finances, budgeting, skin care, blemish covering, clothes, shoes, parties, discipline, speaking, listening, singing, talking, believing, trips, shopping, time with others, furniture, organization, calendars, time management... and more Unfortunately, it’s a trickle down effect, and the ‘leaders’ are being asked to make reports about their people. For someone who doesn’t want to do this, there is tremendous pressure, and when something harmful happens to a ‘person on your watch‘, you have to give some answers. This has led to LEADERS to say things like, “You need to figure out why this happened”! It was always the fault of yourself… except for the “LEADERS”, who were doing the Word and under Spiritual attack This ugly cistern called TWI isn’t holding any water, and has caused a lot of damage. In our family, the damage is very deep, and I pray that one day the truth will be clear, and the destructive residue the treatment from TWI has deposited will be gone.

Thanks for reminding us of this... any innie lurkers watching & reading here? Where or when does the extra 13 years date them back to? When Mr. Wierwille graduated from seminary? I don't know off the top of my head, but it couldn't be too hard to find. Wonder what the explanation for this one is? `

CoolChef said: Yes I was, and can recall with clarity, my egotistical, smarty pants reaction to another person's sincere, concise prayer to God... as if God knew I could teach them how to do it right ... Please forgive me, I'm unlearning, and it may take a bit more time

Belle, I must have suppressed many details, since I was there listening to all the teachings, and visiting HQ once a month. One thing I don't remember are the green cards after the late 80's. Something changed maybe?, the color to white or blue? Don't recall so much emphasis placed on having someone chose what they wanted from the 'list'... There is a whole block of time that is foggy at present... Not many good memories, not even with family :( Maybe I was too busy with three, then four children, getting 'everything' just so, and being to all the meetings, that I just didn't GO OUT & witness?

Sounds nice Lori, glad you found your friends :)

geesh Oakspear, how embarrassing... did the BC blow a gasket like good ol Al? Who’s the idiot?

That's right WordWolf, Mr Wierwille's 'way' doesn't work, his life tells the 'story', and it just isn't very good, with a real bad ending!

The instruction was that people you witnessed to needed to have Teeth, A Job and a Car?

Nicely said Mr. Rummy, Cheers~

I LOVED HEARING THAT... going back in for another listen :)

Oh, I miss him.... a-one a-two

Way Disciples in Detroit, surrounding cities too? Are Mike & Linda Anders*n still the LC's? (couple w/ no children & an expensive art collection) I'll have to warn my Parents & friends over there on the East side...

Here's a Link to see information on Vegan and Vegetarian Athletes. I'm sure there will be names many of you recognize~ Enjoy Vegan Fitness
