    LMAO@openfireglass , unfortunately no matter how much research you do the stuff is demonized to the point it will never be legalized in the US . I support the legalization for adults to smoke the stuff also support the growing of hemp products so we don't have to keep cutting down forests for pulp . I think you could probly show that there is less violent crime among pot smokers , because they are too worried about finding their bag of cheetos . HE HE

    anyway , myths I don't buy into are --- UFOs , lochness monster ,big foot , reptilian race running the government ( that one tho is getting my interest) lol , US control of the middle east will increase security for the whole world (not just the US) BS..... Jews are still the chosen people or that God even cares about the nation of Israel , Bin Laden had anything to do with 911, George Bush is the God appointed king we've been waiting for to solve all the problems in the world ( as boasted in by GW) .

    That I need god/jehoover in my life to experience true happiness...when in fact all I needed was to get a life AWAY from god/jehoover.

    If you mean "the Watchtower Society" myths - (i.e. not "my" society - ) then how about this one from about 1979 or 1980?

    When they were trying to convert to computer typesetting and offset printing process, they had to spend a literal fortune or two with IBM.

    They actually put out the myth that IBM came back and gave them a super-special deal on the typesetting software & computers because "IBM needed the society as a test customer as they were the most advanced publishing company on the face of the earth..."

    This was of course taken to mean that Jehovah had nudged the smug IBM corporation there in Armonk, NY to move to help the work - another modern-day miracle to be pondered in our hearts forever.

    Similar miracles occured on special price and delivery on the M.A.N. rotary presses which are now sitting idle while the few bethelites left are cutting CD's...but then, what one person calls a miracle, another more cynical one might call just plain "good salesmanship".

    I got this direct from a C.O. talk back then - he was the celebrated C.O. Bennett (the one who told me that oil came from the brontosaurus)...
