Finkenstien, its one one the most misguided myths that mj is not addictive,I've seen it destroy families, I know quite a few heavy users that have quit using it in recent years, they cant emphasise enough how much better they feel in fact most of the people I know who are users want to quit but are struggling to.

no chance in a million years I'd pay almost £40 for a book on jw's whatever are the marketing people thinking of? £20 for the pair is pushing it TBH -

the problem I found about smoking weed, (I was never a big smoker probably smoked about 50 joints in my entire life solid and grass) and also the stronger versions of skunk made me feel completely out of control, totally out of it and I hate that feeling, but it is a complete anti diuretic, and I found that worrying, it cant be good for the bladder area. Also the "scooby snacks" the famous munchies, I found myself eating some ridiculous amounts after a few joints, I've seen friends order the most ridiculous amounts of food and eating it all, in the last few years I've found losing weight very difficult so another issue with it. -

the words "egg on face" clearly apply here, never heard that at all although I do remember Reece giving talks at DC's when I was a kid, I wonder who the London head honcho was back then? -

by ILoveTTATT2 inhi people,.
i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).
1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

Noah's Ark
by Darkknight757 inso i'm reading the book "the atheist book of bible stories" and something just occurred to me.. noahs ark rested on the top of mount ararat.
how the hell did all the land animals, dinosaurs and other monsters get to ground level?
did noah and his family just push them off the mountain and hope for the best?

even if the continents were landlocked ( they weren't) it would have still been an incredibly vast distance for the Australian marsupials to get to and from the place of their natural habitat, also the marsupials(the koala bear) survive in a completely unique habitat with a unique diet, they sleep 18 hours a day! if Australia was locked into other continents it would have completely changed the entire eco system of the country in regards to climate,what natural produce is grown there etc. The Great Flood and the Adam and Eve fables get more and more ridiculous the more one delves into them. -

Is this the earliest WT reference to 1975?
by Splash ini thought that the 1975 thing started in the mid to late 60's, but it seems the seeds were sown two decades earlier.is this the earliest reference to it?.
18 how many today are awake to the fact that the lord christ jesus, by his resurrection of the faithful bride members that slept in death, is taking his "bride" unto his father's house and the marriage of the lamb has begun' .... they do not say, 'it is a long time yet to the wind-up, and, according to the present understanding of bible chronology, six thousand years of human history will end first in the coming seventies and till then it is a long stretch to serve the lord continuously and undividedly.'.
... they keep their eye and heart on jehovah's kingdom, and not on the time clock.

The Elders are Coming Help!
by LaurenM inso the elders keep bugging me and pestering me about having a meeting with them to "introduce me to my new congregation" for some reason (do any ex elders know what that even means??).
i keep postponing and making excuses and they are getting more and more aggressive.
i finally agreed for them to come over today, but really don't want to..should i hide from them again?

great idea from Stan, perhaps up the request to a couple of thousand, car needs a big service, electric and gas bill is high, you wont hear much more from them.
