  i have a problem.

  i knew this would come up but what has me questioning myself is where some of my resistance is coming from.. my wife and i have a baby on the way in nov. (a little girl) anyway my mom immediately started applying pressure to me to go back to meeting and of course to attend the convention.

  that is not the surprise.

  i would like to speak with a jw or anyone here who believes in god, and i would like in fact i dare you to find a reason why humans shouldnt use cannabis.

  <--(marijuana) actually i will give you one and it is the only one that i have found.

  the only reason i found is because in most places it is illegal and god says to respect there laws but anything besides this i believe is bs so again i dare u to give me a reason besides what i stated..

  I'ver sat with gurus in India and lived with the holy weed for thirty years and my conclusion is that ganga is used as a shortcut to to the hard work that is enlightenment. Why do we in the West always look for the easy way?

  Yep, I don't smoke anymore and I have learned so much...... Ahh but I needed smoke to realise this....

  Intersesting.... I challenged all habits after leaving jws....

  This blew my ego away, so I understood the humanity in conscious habit but the devil is in unconscious repetition.

  Awareness in action!!

  i've recently got a comcast movie package that gives all encore, hbo, cinemax, stars, showtime and ifc and other indie movies.

  there are so many good movies that have been made that just didn't garner enough attention.. what movies do you think are good that weren't huge successes?.

  Goofy GB illustration someone related to me

  by sir82 in

  apparently gb member geoff jackson gave this illustration at a dc talk recently:.

  imagine you are watching an (american) football game - your team is behind by 6 points and time is nearly expired.

  your team's quarterback throws a long pass, and a receiver makes the catch and is streaking toward the end zone.

  Maybe we could further the illustation........ and the player stopped, realising that he had no ball!

  All that sprinting was pointless.....

  I can only speak for myself OUTLAW but when pain overwhelms my life, it's a sure bet that I have been ignoring something major that needs addressing. With out pain, I am too damn lazy to change.

  The end may be in a figurative sense. The end of negative thoughts or habits, which opens up a whole new range of possibilities.

  Remember, all things must pass....

  MEN - when did you finally understand/ forgive your Dad?

  by hamsterbait in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most men will agree that in the teens they all fall out with and disagree with their father.. when did you start to understand where he was coming from?.

  i remember a poem, where the writer describes how he always thought his dad was mean and intransigent.

  he is lighting the boiler in the morning, and starts remembering how all through his childhood, the house was heated when he got up, and like his own father he cleans everybodys shoes before they get up on sunday.. i think it is only when you go through a similar crisis to the father, or finally have rebelling sons that true understanding kicks in.. i was vile to my father whilst he was dying of cancer.

  My dad was physically around when I was a child but he was absent in all other respects, except to abuse us kids.

  He was an enigma right up to his recent death at 94 yrs. Only the good die young eh?

  I learned my parenting skills from watching OTHER families and have done a great job. My children love me in such a healthy way.

  I forgave my father many yrs ago but could never forget. That's why I cut him from my children's lives. He was too toxic/dangerous.

  Ahhh time in its many facets cause difficulty.

  Aussie is 12 hrs ahead of the States, so you guys are sleepng when I usually post and vice versa.

  Also, work and other responsibilities get priority (like you I'm sure).

  But yes Restrangled, I check in when I can and post when something grabs.

  Thanks for starting a "settling" thread

  Bizarre

  Imagine the expense and waste of resources involved in arranging that wimpy wave experience.

  IMHO I reckon that it's a sad indicater of where humanity's at. There's this belief that all exciting stuff has been done already and we have to go further and further for a rush (he mentions the rush in the video).

  My adviced to this guy is save your money and go perform loving acts for the rest of humanity... Fantastic rush
