Marijuana

by MrFreeze in

does anybody know the jw reasoning why using mind-altering depression and schizophrenia medication are okay but marijuana is not?

okay i could see saying not to use marijuana because it is currently illegal in the us but what if it were legal?

there are lots of health benefits for marijuana.

Not to mention, they can draw in unwanted angels (angels, not Demons). You have got to be joking WT.

If they legalized MJ I'd be smoking like a goddamn freight train inside of 3 hours. Word on that.

Adolf Hitler so I could get him to do the "Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein!" scene from Downfall. Then I'd shoot him.

Things that were supposedly demonized

by freshstart in

i was just thinking about all the fear i had when i was a kid that i would be attacked by demons if i wasn't careful.

i mean i lived in absolute terror over it, so i'm going to reminisce about the things i was told were demonized and you can add to the list if you'd like:.

lucky charms cerealcount dracula cerealitems bought at garage sales where there was a cross or anything religious present"hotel california" by the eagles (now one of my favorite songs)wwjd braceletsscooby dooi remember being so scared of every little noise that whenever i would turn off my light to go to bed, i would say "jehovah, jehovah!

I think my underpants are demonised, there was allways something decidedly un-Christian going on in them that even fervant prayer couldnt stop.

LOL No kidding about that. I think that same demon must have been bothering me...actually still bothers me from time to time.

A Question For the Guys...

by Quendi in

this thread was inspired by the "a question for the ladies..." thread and anybody is welcome to post.. if you are now free and clear of the wts, how have your dress and grooming changed?

i'll start the ball rolling by saying that i made some changes that i really like.

i'm down to two suits and they are only for job interviews and perhaps some solemn occasion.

I hate moustaches (they tickle me nose) but have a short chinstrap beard. Haven't wore a tie in 3 years and don't plan on ever wearing one again unless it has a naked lady on it.

My Online Conversation With a Jehovah's Witness About Blood

by cofty in

the following is from the comments section of the independent article about the 22 year old jw with sickle cell anaemia who died in england last week while refusing blood.

maria makes aguest sound laconic so i don't blame you if you can't be bothered reading it all but the jw cliches and lies are all too familiar.

i'm guessing she is at the thursday meeting about now so maybe she will respond again later.. .

You did wonderfully Cofty. Much better than I would have. About the point that she got to this...

"They have educated the medical system"

...would have been about the point where I would have choked the shit out of her if in person or called her a dirty pirate hooker at least.

Do you miss the sense of security the organisation gives you?

by Mr Facts in

i am sure most of you miss the sense of security regarding the future that the organisation offers- the certainty of everlasting life in the paradise earth, being healed and the confidence that you will definitely see your loved ones again if you remained faithful.

but why did you pursue a course of life that had suddenly turned everything into a fable?.

i have pity for you all.. .

sooner7nc

That's laughable to the Nth degree. The Watchtower doesn't offer a secure future except to those who are thickheaded and incapable of intelligent thought and those who are so emotionally bankrupt that they virtually sweat low self esteem. My life was empty as fuck when I was in that shithole religion. It wasn't till I left for good and faced myself bravely that I truly was happy and fulfilled.

By the way, you can shove your sympathy and tears directly up your stinky ass. Have a great day

What Do Jehovah's Witnesses Have Going For Them?

there must be a reason jws stay or people join..

The only thing they have going for them is the fact that they allow simple little worthless pieces of human waste feel that they're worth something.

Whoa - stop the world - I just got the joke!

by Qcmbr in

finally - i get it.

oh my gosh.. .

why did the chicken cross the road?.

sooner7nc

Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained.
