Things that were supposedly demonized
by freshstart ini was just thinking about all the fear i had when i was a kid that i would be attacked by demons if i wasn't careful.
i mean i lived in absolute terror over it, so i'm going to reminisce about the things i was told were demonized and you can add to the list if you'd like:.

Marijuana
by MrFreeze indoes anybody know the jw reasoning why using mind-altering depression and schizophrenia medication are okay but marijuana is not?
okay i could see saying not to use marijuana because it is currently illegal in the us but what if it were legal?
there are lots of health benefits for marijuana.

my first exposure was my friends mom whos husband was dying from some kind of cancer she took the risk scoring to relive her mans pain. she was a saint and a sexy/loyal woman. oh btw she was/is a witness and a registerd nurse. but to answer the question, it is due to legal stats that the corp. takes their stance.

How many ex-jws poster here now believe in Hellfire, immortality of soul, trinity, etc;
by booker-t ini am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.
especially hellfire.
i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.

i belive in all three. hellfire is similar to a bonfire with the difference being too much gasoline and 2 thirty packs of busch light the proof is in the missing eyebrows. immortality of soul... aretha franklin and james brown, enough said. and the holy trinity well dont get me started on fairy tales.

Just wanted to say...
by tec in... how truly great this place is.. i have not been on many forums, but i think this one is unique and strong in a very important way.
it is of course a support group for those exiting the wts, or trying to deal with remaining within it, first and foremost.
but the awesome thing about this place is how it welcomes everyone.

A Question For the Guys...
by Quendi inthis thread was inspired by the "a question for the ladies..." thread and anybody is welcome to post.. if you are now free and clear of the wts, how have your dress and grooming changed?
i'll start the ball rolling by saying that i made some changes that i really like.
i'm down to two suits and they are only for job interviews and perhaps some solemn occasion.

not a whole lot. other than concert tees and no CHEAPASS suit. truth is i still find moderatly dressed women sexy.

hello everyone. i have commented a few times so i figure ill introduce myself. sorry if this is under the wrong topic, i dont as i dont participate in any other forums. i have lurked for a while. better to keep quiet unless you have something enlightening to say. i dont follow that rule. id like to just say my humor and sarcasm is weird and i can be easily misunderstood. so please bear with me if i seem crass or disagreeable. having said that i do like to be just dumb under the annonymity of the net. i say the first thing that come to my mind sometimes. i am a born in. dunked at 15. for acceptance(jws are cool). and when i found this site i was still on the fence and going to school. some early posts were in defense of the corp but i now DETEST any organised religion. as a born in i know this place is legit because i have read many stories that only a dub would have experienced and it is always good for a laugh. ex. my mom couldnt believe i knew about the new songbook before it was out. her expression was priceless when i dropped a few of your suggestions... knockin on heavens door, ramble on (about jehovah).LOL so im gonna hang if its cool and if i offend i apologize in advance
