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 Don't Have to Be "RIGHT" Anymore.

for the record, i don't believe in the god of the bible, and i find it hard to believe in the god of any religion on earth.

i am closest to atheist in my beliefs if you want a traditional title, but i prefer "rationalist.

" i will do god's will for me when he directly tells me what it is.

Did being JW help you cope with death?
by KDubbz in
1. jw
2. friends
i was thinking about this today.

i remember when i attended meetings and conventions with my parents when i was growing up, i would run into some jws who said they were able to cope with death of their loved ones better due to the fact that they will be resurrected in the "new world" which gave them hope.

i find this partially true because they were given a false hope of being in the "new world" and seeing their loved ones again.

I hate District Convention time
by digderidoo in
1. jw
2. friends
i had to pick my daughter up from my mothers yesterday after going to the district convention.

i hate having to listen to how my mother has bumped into so and so and they've been asking about me.. she bumped into some of my ex's family who stopped and chatted.

so two faced all of them.. it kind of gets my back up and i can feel anger coming up when i hear people who i used to respect asking after me, then if i were to walk past them in the street i know most of them would try to avoid me.. to top it all my mother has been dropping hints as to whether i will go with her.

LOL @ paradise
by KDubbz in
1. jw
2. friends
i remember when i was 10 years old (that was 15 years ago), some jw brother in our congregation talked to me and he said he can't wait for us to be perfect in the paradise.

i asked him how can we become perfect all of a sudden since sin is "stained" into us.

he said that's because satan and demons won't be around anymore.

what was the worst advice you were ever given
by rockmehardplace in
1. jw
2. friends
i was that one way to increase my field service time for me and my wife was by standing at a truck stop and hand out tapes to truckers in the early mornings.

this is the same lot that is frequented by drug dealers and hookers.

another time, while studying, i said i did not understand the blood issue.
