My Uses of Psychotropic Medicine and Marijuana Effects

for several years now i have been using many natural plants to reach altered states of consciousness, one of my hopes was to start up my kundalini energy at the bass of my spine and up thru the various chakras, i think i have accomplished it but have no idea of where it ends, but it is somewhere out of cultural programing and beyond!.

anyway i quit pot for a while because my eyes would keep rolling up in the back of my head and i think my kundalini energy was only reaching up to my heart chakra and i would get blow away with compassion for suffering things animals, trees, people it really cut me down and zapped my energy,,so i quit for a couple months, and just started again very recently,, right now i don't get the eyes rolling back in the head thank god it is so embarrassing.. i think it may have been caused by really good yoppo i bought on ebay from yugoslavia or what ever one of those countries cheap but potent.

i was having the most powerful dreams even for weeks after relived memories coming out of nowhere all the time..

holey cheese. each person has to do what is right for them. lay all your cards out on the table and i am sure we can pick apart what you do and find fault. and as for a spineless comment, it takes alot of courage and fight from someone to do what maryacclaim has done to see and speak to family. maybe it is easy for you to drop family but for some, we still need that connection.

you should not have to choose between your religion and family ! (awake mag quote)

by looloo in

last summer there was a big upset caused by an article (july ,ithink) in the awake about a hindu lady that upset her family by leaving her religion and joining jehovahs witnesses and the ironic thing was it had the above quote in it , that someone should not have to choose between family and religion !

i printed the article off and underlined that section , and recently sent it to my inlaws along with a letter , because they are upset about not seeing their grandchild because they banned their son from the house (he sdisfellowshipped) i am trying to sort the situation out , and i thought they might notice the hypocrisy in the article , however that idea did not work as apparently" there are lies on the internet !

" and father in law was not very happy to receive it , but it is from an awake magazine ,watchtower literature !

that article was eye opening to me. i remember vividly having a huge fight with my wife about disassociated ones. i told her that if a hindu (or anyone else) leaves the religion they were born into / baptized into and become a jw, they would not want their family to stop contact with them and we would think it was cruel for the choice that they made in shunning. but if a jw leaves the wt society, it is ok to shun someone. there is not one ounce of logic to this. i was certain more people would pick up on this and run out the door.

gossip time

anything worth sharing?

only thing i miss about going to meetings is hearing the good gossip about this person or that person.

now, instead of hearing about it, i am the gossip.. my wife said that some have been saying the reason i wont attend meetings is i am carrying a huge secret sin and i need to come clean.

Apparently I've out-ed an old friend THE SH**T HIT THE FAN!!

about three or four years ago my former "best friend" who is an active jw started coming by my work to eat lunch with me and chat.. in the course of our conversations we had religious discussions.. i posted on the former jwd about these discussions.

i never mentioned his last name, but, i did use his first name.. i honestly never expected anybody to read those posts because of the curse on apostate websites.

but, that was a bit naive, i suppose.. here is what has happened.. .

what? the river is brown and chunky and i dont have a paddle?

best you can do is write a letter of apology for the alleged mistake you have been made aware of, put your contact information on it, and hope you get a phone call.

leaving the wt - why?

by rockmehardplace in

jw
friends

so for some people, there is the one breaking point that makes people leave.

for me, not so much about doctrine, but about how people treated one another.

i always heard that we show we are the true religion because we have love among ourselves.

what was the "straw" for you?

How many have left your congregation ?

by leo999 in

hi everyone ,.

there are many new folk joining here everyday , and i thought it may be interesting and fun to just see how many people have left the congregation that you have attended in the past 5 years .

i dont mean of course people who are active jw's moving to another cong , but people that have left the wt religion , faded , da'd or df'd .. so , i will start off with my own cong .there have been 9 leave , 8 completely gone , myself hardly ever there and ' inactive ' .. leo999.

rockmehardplace

increase of 4% in the US? now that is funny. our numbers have stayed the same over the past few years. however, we have had many jws move in. the ones that have left were either df or faders mostly. a few moved out to another congo. but what is interesting, never has there been a replacement of new ones. just current jws that moved. so the loss of numbers has to be somewhere in the mix. where the increase is coming from is something that i am sure the yearbook will not point out. i would love to see the breakout of in/out by age groups.
