  "Parasitic" is a stronger word than I would use, but I tend to agree with moshe. So I'll repeat:

  [...] we will find out just how productive they are, how safe of the drivers they are, how good of a job your pot smoking doctors and dentists do, how law abiding the pot smoking citizens are, etc. [...] they don't pull the same equal load in society as non-pot smokers, but they like to enjoy the same benefits and get high, too.

  That being said, if cigs and alcohol are legal then marijuana should be as well. I do not believe it is more dangerous. Also, it's criminalization was based on racism not because of it's side effects.

  A Black square? Jerk...

  Actually.. I'm not. I'm a square. Would you like to hear my argument against marijuana use other than for medicinal purposes?

  Understanding JW Recruiting Concepts Can Help Others To Leave

  understanding jw recruiting concepts can help others to leave.

  when i first left jehovah's witnesses (jw's), i was somewhat amused at the sheer amount of anti jw websites out there.

  while websites like freeminds.org and jwfacts.com are great, (non hysterical sites that stress fact and presentation over emotional responses), there are at least 5 times as many other sites that act as if you should treat a jw at your door like you would a spreader of the ebola virus.. i don't disagree with the fact that jw's are somewhat dangerous and usually go for the low hanging fruit.

  ATJ-

  Very, very good post.

  subliminal pics in Watchtowers? Satan worship at Bethel? Get real....) in an effort to get current members to quit, it makes me laugh

  Hysterics don't work. Reasoned facts do. Innuendo's and sensationalism doesn't work.

  I've always thought this... but it can be fun.

  For the most part I am assuming that you were addressing your comments about new recruits. Because re:

  Real life stories chronicling the mistreatment, neglect, incompetence, and sometimes criminal neglect (where pedophiles are concerned) are enough to loosen the mind, so that honest hearted JW's will feel they have permission to defy the GB, and research JW's on their own.

  I don't feel the above statement is true of most die hard JWs. "Real life stories" from apostates are seen as lies. For long timers I do think you have to attack the dogma.

  me and my mom made plans to see each other today so this morning she called me and said she was already in my area and wanted to know where to meet up.

  i told her that i wasn't ready yet so to come to my apartment first.

  i said that me and my husband are still in our pjs and she gasped and ask, "you didn't go to the meeting today?

  I'll never show up for a JC

  They often disfellowship people even if they don't show up. They'll already have two witnesses.

  I do think you need to think about WHY you are doing this. Many of us here never thought our parents would disown us and yet it happens all the time. If you want to guarantee that your family doesn't mark you even in their own minds, you'll drop the whole thing and fade QUIETLY.

  You've already told your mom enough to be df'd. He could be the second witness.

  This is a VERY, VERY, VERY, good point. Be prepared for a JC.

  BTW, I recently had a conversation with my mother where she was willing, for the first time, to listen to my doctrinal issues. I finally stumped her on the claim that the Witnesses have been around since Jesus (aka apostolic succession). Assuming we can go back to Charles Taze Russell, ask your uncle who were Jehovah's people the day before Russell "became" one. Since we know he was raised Presbyterian and was later an Adventist.. does that mean Adventists were the one's who passed the torch to him, and if so, are they in the line of apostolic succession? If not, then where is the line of succession before Russell?

  Sorry if that doesn't make sense .

  Most secular sources will say that Jerusalem fell in 586-7, so just Google it. Of course the JWs will say that the 70 years is based on prophecy, not actual historical events. I was always confused by this. I once had to give a talk on it and I had no idea what I was saying. Read this: http://www.2001translation.com/607.htm

  Mine doesn't always. Sometimes it's like beef stew.
