  You say don't giggle because I guess you know that two of your mentors as ladies men were known to be men's men at times, although they both married women during their lifetime.

  Btw, there is a picture of Cary Grant and I think the other guy is from the Hearst family from back in the 1930's,(I believe the two of them were roommates for a while) on the beach where one is lighting the others cigarette, the photographer must've known what was going on between the two because of the lighting, they are facing profile in a dark light, like you would expect to see a romantic picture of Great Garbo back in the day with her leading man, not to sure but I think the picture was featured in Life Magazine.

  Medical marijuana

  hey everyone.... i'm new to this but i would like to run my experience with medical marijuana past you.

  i'm 48 years of age and have been in the truth for my whole life.. i suffer from ankylosing spondilitis and have for many many years.

  it's a debilitating form of spinal arthritis and the symptoms of this auto-immune disorder affect more than my spine.

  When you have a cold or a headache, do you inform the elders that you have taken Advil or Tylenol to relieve the pain? Why did you even tell them something that should be just between you and your Dr.? You sound like a dyed in the wool, uber witness like mother, however, she did not inform the elders of her medications for high blood pressure and arthritis, they were probably on the same meds anyway.

  Do You Believe Hunger Strikes Truly Accomplish Anything?

  by minimus in

  i see that stars are protesting something and to make a point, they go on a hunger strike.

  prisoners sometimes are angry over their treatment and decide to stop eating.

  some feel laws should be changed and make their point by refusing to eat.. do hunger strikes give you pause?

  One person decides not to eat anymore until one of the issues on the planet he doesn't agree with or changed? Who cares.

  Minimus - I think it’s ridiculous to kick people and families out of a restaurant because of politics.

  I think it's ridiculous for a bakery to get the OK from the Supreme Court on whether or not they have to bake a cake for a gay couple, but last weeks press conference, she said she had no problem with that, so, why is she upset that the owners of the restaurants used their conscience and decided they didn't want to serve her?

  I don’t know if Hillary Clinton supporters are called cult but they do lack common sense and moral sense to support a woman who lies compulsively and has supported crimes of her husband who has been assaulting women and obstructing justice so far without conviction.
  

  and Trump is the most honest, morally clean President we've had in quite some time. Every thing that he says is 100 per cent true, right Min?

  I POSTED this yesterday Min and you didn't answer

  vivian nicholson.

  everybody called her “viv.”she worked in a factory as a mother of 4 kids.

  she lived in yorkshire.now viv was not yet a jehovah’s witness when what happened...happened.it was after what happened she turned to the cult for solace.what horrible event had ruined her life you ask?viv’s husband had bought a winning lottery ticket and won $5.5 million.in the u.k. they call it playing the “ football pools.”they were the biggest winners in history (at the time) and the year was 1961.the first question winners are asked is: “what will you do with all that cash?”viv’s honest reply later became the title of her book (and a musical!

  I remember reading her obit.

  I'm just waiting for the day when a JW wins the lottery, I'm sure a large number of them do, and they just happen to win, then you see them on TV holding that giant check !!

  I'm sure it depends on their status in the KH on how they will be treated. An elder and/or his wife will probably get by with just a warning from the elders. But the regular Dub struggling to get their hours in will probably be dealt with a lot stronger than that. Unless they're stupid enough to agree to donate a huge portion of it to the old guys in Brooklyn (or Warwick, wherever the Hell they are now)
