Should Marijuana Possession Be Decriminalized If Under An Ounce?
by minimus inin massachusetts, possession of pot, if under an ounce will only get you a fine, under a new law.. some say this will send the wrong message about illegal drug use.
(personally, i don't imbibe but i know many that do).
so, do you think allowing this law to pass will bring about more illegal drug use?.

Hi TBL -
I'm also a lurker - something about your post made me want to come out of hiding : )
The problem is your parents have more loyalty to the WTBS than they do to you. That's the bottom line.
My advice? Don't admit to anything in that meeting. Lie if you have to. Say you're depressed, whatever. You need more time to sort out how you're going to get out for good. With all of your family ties it seems like a fade would be the best course of action for you. Meantime, lay low!!
Best of luck,
Happy

Confused a little
by jacethespace inmy heads getting a little messed up lately.my lifes moved on a lot since i attended my short return and last meeting on 1.1.2008.. my jobs going extremly well.and recently got into a good relationship thats getting deep.and i mean deeeeep.especially today and i wont go into much detail here.. so why the hell do i feel like im still making a mistake walking away from the watchtower.i feel like im being sucked back into a world that i cant trust where the people around me are misled and im becoming more and more corrupted.is that just the watchtower mind control affecting me or is this really the way it is.. to spell it out i did something today that would get me disfellowshipped and i feel bad.but why?im not in the watchtower anymore.. oh well, just needed to vent a few things here..

Hi Jace,
Just try to enjoy the good things that are happening for you in your life (INCLUDING whatever you did today ). You've been indoctrinated in JW beliefs for a long time and it's hard to walk away from it even though you know that the JWs have it wrong. You just have to give it time and immerse yourself in your new life.

Hi Nick,
Welcome!! Don't feel that you need to decide anything right now, it can be very overwhelming. Just relax and continue to investigate, as you have clearly already been doing.
