  Marijuana---Is It That Bad?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've never smoked tobacco or a joint in my life!

  i know some regular pot smokers and they're pretty cool people.

  they typically say pot is better than alcohol and that it should be completely legal.

  I experimented a little but it wasn't for me. I feel it should be legalized and then taxed. Just like alcohol. I'd much rather be around someone who is high. I don't have a problem with others smoking as long as they are handling their business in life. You know, work, pay bills, be a responsible person, etc...

  Thanks everyone. A family member had a letter read last night about him at the KH. We were just wondering if you could tell which one it was(DA or DF) by the announcement that was read.

  The funny and the laughable

  by Heartbreaker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  relative was reinstated recently .

  then....i get a voicemail (from an ignored phone call) from my mother asking to have the youngest three kids this weekend, for "something fun for the kids" and since they can't fit more than 3 in thir car, they want the youngest, and this on the heels of me sending a email to state that i was remembering some damaging things from my childhood (father confirmed pedophile, but until recently it was assumed i was excluded from this) and that i needed some time and some space.

  her reply was that i shouldn't let things affect my relationship with jehovah, ruin all the hard work i've done in keeping my kids with jehovah in their heart, and that she did the best she could.

  2. friends

  i actually had to do this twice in the past 2 weeks - and it's really shaken things up!

  the first time was last week.

  my aunt (who lives out of state) asked me how my parents were doing (her brother and my mom)?

  Yes, I did recently. I was talking to a friend about the JW's. She has been with me on my journey to enlightenment . I have shared with her all I have learned. She asked why I didn't just tell my mom how I felt about the witnesses now. Then I told her about Apostacy and how my family and 'friends' would have to shun me because of my newfound discoveries. She was absolutely disgusted. She kept saying, "That's a cult, QE, that's a cult." And I see now that it is a cult.

  Not everyone is singing the songs? This is one of the concerns? It's ridiculous. Not the single parents struggling to make ends meet, the family without health insurance who works at a janitorial company or local shopping mall.

  And also, if you can't stretch out during the song, when can you? During the talk, or prayer? Whatever. Glad I'm gone.

  We had a sister at our hall who always managed to incorporate something she had seen on the Animal Planet or Discovery Channel into her comment. We would crack up at how she tried to tie it all together.
