Which often causes me confusion because my EQ Pres hasn't told me yet which group I belong to. So pretty much, I just work at deceiving myself (just to cover my bases).

This juice thing has spread to vegas. A guy in our ward was trying to tell myself and my elders quorum secretary about it and we accidently laughed in his face and had to apologize for hurting his feelings.

My wife actually dragged me to a meeting they were having with some bigwig from the magnet company, in an auditorium with several other dozen people. He had this piece of crap electronic device that he would wave around in front of the magnet things to "detect the magnetic energy" or some such bullcrap. I made the point that I could do the exact same thing with just a coil of a wire and a tiny lightbulb for $2. There's nothing mystical or particularly interesting about what happens in a coil of wire when waved near a magnet (read: changing magnetic field induces a changing electric field in the wire, ie: a voltage). It was all so retarded I couldn't believe my eyes. The guy asked for volunteers to stand on the magnetic shoe insert and then asked people if it didn't feel different, like a tingle or whatever. Well I tried it, and I didn't notice a difference at all, and I said so. The guy was a little annoyed with me. Others said they felt a difference. I guess that's the power of suggestion at work.
Anyhow, the whole enterprise was a big joke if you ask me, but it was a joke on all the people who spent their money buying all this magnetic crap to improve their health.
Especially since all they really need to do to have an immediate improvement in their health is to cut out white sugar and white flour.
