  Banning Alcohol

  i think the society should ban drinking.

  anyone caught drinking should be disfellowshipped.

  would anyone have family left in the org if they did that?

  " I believe if JW's got their head out of their ass and really thought about this they would either ban alcohol or they would allow pot. " Yeah, but then the Kingdumb Melodies would all sound like reggae songs. :-P

  Explain you religion/beliefs in a nutshell

  by devinsmom in

  lately i have been pondering my lack of a belief system.

  i think that being a jw really turned me off to believing in anything since it was all crammed down my throat.. i have been feeling a need to believe in something.

  i think i believe that something created us but not sure if it was one god or many.

  I believe in Communion. Christ said 'take this bread and eat of it, for it is my body', and he said 'keep doing this in remembrance of me'. So I firmly believe in mixing grains and liquids and comnsuming them in his memory ... of course, in the right proportions, grains and waters also produce beer. I call it 'liquid bread'.
  
  As far as his Father goes, I think the Dude is a practical joker. I'll take my chances with Him.

  the photo above was taken by voyager 1 in 1990 as it sailed away from earth, more than 4 billion miles in the distance.

  having completed it primary mission, voyager at that time was on its way out of the solar system, on a trajectory of approximately 32 degrees above the plane of the solar system.

  ground control issued a command for the distant space craft to turn around and, looking back, take photos of each of the planets it had visited.

  Music recommendations for ...?

  by Markfromcali in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  there has been similar threads, but maybe if we get more specific about when we like to listen to a particular cd it could be interesting.

  i was just listening to the oracle cd by michael hedges, great mellow acoustic guitars and i love the cover of tomorrow never knows.

  so this one i'd say is for relaxing and blissing out.

  Keyed up? Red Hot Chili Peppers. Blood Sugar Sex Magic is a great CD.
  
  Need to wind down? Pink Floyd works for me. Dark Side of the Moon always helps.
  
  Depressed? I need some blues. Gimme BB King or Robert Johnson or Muddy Waters or John Lee Hooker. Even pups like Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Johnny Lang are good.
  
  And when I need some cheering up? I gotta have some bluegrass. Is there anything like a fiddle or a banjo to brighten a guy's day? Bill Monroe is da bomb. And gimme dat Orange Blossom Special.
  
  And sometimes I just need to laugh. Weird Al Yankovic or The Electric Amish or something. Hell, The Bloodhound Gang and DaVinci's Notebook make me giggle. How can you not laugh when you hear a song like Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny or even Enormous Penis?

  Is it better to just LEAVE or FIGHT?

  by ljwtiamb in

  although, i have not been victim to the same level of damage from the wts as many of you on this site, i have noticed that it is very difficult to fight such a large entity with deep pockets and passionate (though misled) supporters.. .

  since i am still in the very early stages of leaving/fading, i wonder:.

  i have already spent the vast majority of my life sacrificially serving the interests of this org.

  What's the old saying? Something like 'You can wrestle a pig in the mud, but it just gets you dirty and aggrivates the pig."
  
  Leave. Why fight?

  Because I looked around & understood that it wasn't 'da troof'. I decided it was bullshit.

  Why? Because it tastes good and it calms our nerves and we'd kill everyone around us ... including people we profess to love ... if we had to quit.

  I remember in the 70s my dad's cousin was threatened with a DF if she didn't quit her job at a cigar factory.
  
  F 'em. As was said earlier ... G Hoover is pleased with the smell of smoke. I think I'll go please Him in a sec with the Marlboro essence wafting up from my porch.
