Matt 7:33
33 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
Luke 6:37
37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
An organization that does not allow questoning of it's beliefs, is not of god...
Acts 17:11
11 "Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true (or the WTS).
Try questioning the elders on, lets say the WTS's association with the "scarlet colored wild beast" (the United Nation org.)
And let's see what kind of backbone YOU have.
I sujest you read this WT articule and apply priciples involved to WTS involvement with The United Nations for at least 9 yrs..
*** w79 1/1 p. 30 Questions from Readers *** Questions from Readers • Is it true that for religious reasons Jehovah’s Witnesses may not become members of the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association)?
The WTS has condemed themselves by their own teaching's...YOU my friend belong to an Apostate Organization.
So I sujest to you, too...Get out of her, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues.
Revelation 18:4-8
4
And I heard another voice out of heaven say: "Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind. 6 Render to her even as she herself rendered, and do to her twice as much, yes, twice the number of the things she did; in the cup in which she put a mixture put twice as much of the mixture for her. 7 To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning. For in her heart she keeps saying, ‘I sit a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never see mourning.’ 8 That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong.
The WTS has been wieght in the balance, and found wanting...

well for starters i do have a prescription for cannabis (insomnia / depression).... why would i want to take pharmacuticals for insomnia/depression?
i mean, what if i get prescribed/addicted to a pill, that one day i might not be able to afford?
(if you/i grow cannabis it's more/less free)... now the moral issue... who is more likely to beat the shit out of their kids?
I wonder why all the differant v erities of plants are on the earth? I guess man was suppose to wait thousands of yrs to find out. and then, when the FDA and USDA and DEA and NIh and and and ...figured it out, we would know?

Did I miss any?
Personally I believe it should be legal with no restrictions, if your worried about kids then educate them!
My kids have no problem with food/plant/medication because they were properly educated as to their uses and effects.

life is like growing a garden... there's alot of people who may swear by, "miricle-gro"(the bible)... but that is not the only way to grow your garden green... .
i mean, yes there is an optimal formula to grow a nice garden, but not everyone uses "miricle-gro"... some of us use bone meal, blood meal, and chicken manure.
while others use, bat guanno, soy meal, and fish emulsion.
It use to be, I'd buy all my amendments/fertelizers at the store trying differant ones. Now I use only that which comes from the ground (my property) and my goats and chickens. And the same applies to my spirituallity, I tried all sorts of shyt and have come to the conclusion for me at least, is, that no artificial fertelizers (man-made religions) will ever replace cultivating your own ground (going on the inside) and starting there first. the secrete to life is..."Life's water is free" (don't ask what that means, I don't know), you don't need to go to Walmart for your "Miricle-Gro" And you don't need to go anywhere for your spirituallity. Harm no one.....but don't step on my tomatoe's.... If you understand what I just wrote, please explaine it to me...LOL Acadian
as you can see i am still a newbie and it looks to me like most of you are either die-hard christians or atheists.
so i was wondering if some of you had become animists, polytheists or had converted to another sort of paganism.
(am i the only one here?...
OFG, sounds great, gumby lives in the area too, we could get together and have our own Apostafest-smokeout-BBQ.

My choice is to be a kind, empathetic and good person w/o the burden of manmade religious ideas heaped on my head. For me the religion experience carried me on a journey that was not really my own w/my Creator. I gave JW religion 21 years of my life. I was raised a Methodist and studied other religions. I served my time w/the religion thing. Now it's time to reconnect with my Creator and go back to the simple things. Appreciating His creations, being thankful for life, and showing love to others and treating them as I would want to be treated. Juni
Same feeling... I believe the teachings of Jesus,but I don't consider myself christian, just a man... OFG...
You might be able to say that I'm a "Cannabisist"
I was wondering what that wonderful smell was...inhales deeply... Acadian ~~~of the , if God made it grow I'll find a use for it class~~~

as an apartment dweller i'm used to an electric bill that is about $80 to $100 per month... but with the summer heat my bill just jumped to $180!
ouch!!!!!!
I forgot to mention my propane bill, the winter before last it was about $150-$175 and this last winter it was $250 thats for 100 gallons. I usually get two fill-ups inthe winter and one in the summer,so add that to the other figures. so last winter it cost us for propane $500, I'm now looking at other alternatives Acadian

About $50 bucks summer and $75-100 winter,next winter it should be about $50 bucks, I'mchangeing my heat source. I have PG&E and I live in the Redding area, Calif. I think our meter reading is blind, we use floresent lighting that helps a lot. Acadian
how many of you ex-jw's salute the flag, sing the national anthem, and are ready to kill in a war for the usa?
Therefore, there is no doubt that the American of today would feel very uncomfortable if, all of a sudden, he found himself in the British colonies in 1776 in the midst of smugglers, tax evaders, draft resisters, and other patriots of the time.
I wouldn't feel uncomfortable, i'd fit right in there. It's sad the schools (government run) don't teach what the Consistution really says... And when did we become a democracy, look at the Consistution we were, a Republic, not a democracy! Democracy = two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for lunch.....looks like lamb to me... Good post Darth ! Acadian
