  where do jws stand on the new medical marijuana?

  i know they would df for use of it for recreation but if a dr in california gave it as a perscript, and it was legal to buy and use for medical use, has anyone ran into this yet?.

  They wouldn't know a good joint it if came up and bit'em in tha ass... Pot is one of the safest drugs there is.. I personally don't know of anyone dying of smoking pot.. I'd rather someone smoke weed and drive a car than to drink and drive.. Alchohol is a killer..

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses any better/nicer/kinder/more loving/anything positive than members of any other religions or those not adhering to any religion?

  I know some that are really very nice people... However, most have a limited ability to show it unless you are a JW too. Their teachings and beliefs tend to have a gravitational effect on their decision making process...

  My son was murdered today

  i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

  i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

  maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

  Bill Maher makes JW joke

  by undercover in

  i tired to find a youtube clip of this but couldn't.... but anyway, on real time a couple of weeks ago, during his opening monologue, bill maher was talking about the trayvon martin/zimmerman deal and he made mention of florida's "stand your ground" law, which allows an individual more leeway in using deadly force to defend against what they percieve as a threat to self or property.. going by memory, so i may not have the quote exactly correct but basically he joked, "good thing they don't have "stand your ground" here (california).

  my front lawn would be littered with jehovah's witnesses".

  Image of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by socstu in

  i'm looking for an image to use of the jws, it needs to be quite easy to identify them so i was thinking two people on the ministry or something like that.

  i was looking in the yearbooks but nothing really caught my eye, can anyone think of a specific picture which may do the job?

  :).

  For those of you who inactive, but not officially DFd/DAd, how do you manage?

  by undercover in

  i read with interest the thread about how people who are mentally out yet still attend (some) meetings manage to do continue to do it and it got me wondering, how do those of us who are completely inactive, no longer practicing members of the faith, manage to pull off our new ex-jw life, yet never invite scrutiny or investigation from former friends, elders, etc.. take me, for example.

  i've been out several years now, but have never officially renounced my faith.

  i've never out and out called it a crock of shit to anyone who could make real trouble for me.

  UC, you described my actions to a tee.... I did, however, attend the memorial for the first time this year since '07 for my other half's interest.. I have had no problems here...

  Matrix moment - what was it and when did you share it?

  by MMXIV in

  for those of you who had a moment like that from the matrix when you realised what you'd believed was fundamentally flawed or a lie - what caused that defining moment and how long was it before you could share your thoughts?.

  Absurd WT Control in April 2012 KM

  yeah in the section on attending the convention, you will find this gem:.

  "therefore, we should give attention to our dress and grooming while in the convention city, including when we check in at the hotel.

  arriving in shorts and a t-shirt would not reflect dignity.".

  Think about it... It makes it easier to sort them out... JW's to the left and down the hall... All others take the elevator to the penthouse...
