I never had a substance abuse problem, but when I was 15 I experimented with pot. My parents found a tiny 1/8 bag of pot and took me to the elders. I was not baptized at the time. The elders met with me about 3 times @ about 3 hours each time. Reading scripture after scripture at me.....none of this made much sense to me. They kept telling me I was dabbling in spiritism and would die if Armageddon came tomorrow. I couldn't understand this, cause why would God make a distinction between pot and heavy legal drugs such as prozac or morphine? Does God follow US Law? Is God an American? Anyway, they removed me as a publisher (15 years of age, mind you) and I don't think my reputation has ever fully recovered. I was pressured to get baptized the following year. And here I am today...2 weeks from freedom and 25 in July.

You'd have to ask yourself WHY would modern day JW's be offended? WHY WHY WHY??? It is an acceptable look all over the world. If people are offended by it, THEY are the ones with the problem, as their taking offense is not sound or based upon the bible. Good points also, badwillie.

Legal Suggestion when facing Elders
by Amazing inlegal suggestion when facing elders .
there have been a number of posts stating that the elders have called and requested a meeting.
i guess that either there is a full moon out, or the society has been putting the bug up the elder's rectal orfice to chase down less than active jws.

What Could Have Been
by mikepence insometimes, i try to be sad.. as the sun sets low, turning the rugged hills of arizona into soft, purple, fuzzy-looking rumpled cones, dappled in the red-orange reflections of failing sunlight, i stand upon a hill.
i try to reflect on what could have been.. i could have been part of a family that was close -- a family that hugged, laughed and cried together, always.
a family that strove not to take everything personally, but to see that even our attacks, especially our attacks, are projections of our own insecurities.

This reminds me. I need to get the new NIN live cd.
make sure to get the 2 cd version. the bonus cd, Still (can you tell Trent is a Joy Division fan?), is one of the best things he's ever done.

Getting past the anger
by Stealth ini am looking for some assistance or resources on anger mangement.. i have known the truth about the truth for about a year now.. due to reasons of family i don't beleive i can make a 100% break at this time.. i seem to have a major problem getting past the anger.
i am not an angry person by nature and in the past when i have gotten angry it never lasted very long.. at times i feel that the reason i can't get past the anger is because i have not made a complete break.
i don't know if this is true since i see many here who have made the break and the anger persists.. if there is anyone here who has experienced this and has found a way to move past the intense feelings of anger without completly breaking from the borg due to family reasons and can offer some advice i would welcome it.. is it possible to get past the anger with one foot still in?

For excellent advice on anger
please contact me or your nearest branch office
of Jehovahs Witness. A free home Bible study
will show you how to cultivate the fruits of the
spirit and have a life where anger no longer controls youi would think that a bible study would involve studying the bible, but it seems JW's believe that the bible is a reference book for the WTS's publications. Do you mean a free WTS publication study, verified by the JW's New World Translation w/ an average of 1 to 3 scriptures a paragraph? that would be more accurate NYASSHOLE
