I might add to what's already been touched on. The biggest positive in this NATURAL drug is that it enhances your senses, depending on your body and the right amount of doses. When I smoke the right amount for me, it has enhanced my hearing. I feel like I can hear things more clearer literally. I see why some of the world's best musicians of the past and present make great music when they smoked. It's a amazing feeling with your mind opens up your body

I always hated marijuana, even in the time I left JW, which was 6 years ago I hated it, until recently. I decided to try it out and got my medical card. I was nervous and uncomfortable but I made it into a dispensary and purchased a few grams of marijuana. The first few times I smoked, I felt a numbing sensation over my body but it wasn't the high I was expecting. Not until my second time did I experience that high.

The third time was the scariest moment in my life because I had a panic attack. I was super paranoid and I thought I was going to die. Mind you, I was alone, which is discouraged for first time smokers. I did calm myself down through that episode. A few days ago, I smoked and experienced what @DarioKehl mentioned. I connect it to my third eye opening since It has made me realize that I'm not where I want to be since leaving JW. I've had a cold hard look at myself. This drug has been a positive for me

My Mother Died Two Weeks Ago

none of my jehovah's witness relatives called to tell me or my family.

just found out this morning.

My condolences for you. Your JW family took shunning to the extreme. They AT LEAST should tell about serious family matters. The WT allows that. That's a crazy situation

"Our Preaching has no Time Limit": wt talk outline.

by prologos in

twice in the public talk this admission by wt was repeated from the official outline.

you thought you were done with "service" by 2075 according to the overlapping anointed?

--- assignments await you even in paradise.

What really bothered me was: Why would Jehovah kill off billions of people who disobeyed him but never killed off Satan? Why did Jehovah make it so hard even in the new order?

Indeed a simple logic that goes over millions of JW's heads. It's like God is a director/producer of a action movie where the villain isn't killed off but brought back for a sequel.

Can the special pioneers, bethelites, and many other "servants", who are getting their benefits stripped, SUE THE WTBS?

by Dunedain in

i know in america, corporations, and businesses, are many times obligated to atleast continue certain medical benefits for an extended period of time, like a year or two, even after they are "let go".

i wonder how many older, special pioneers, missionarys, bethelites, and such, have pre-existing medical conditions, and need to have to continue their benefits for care?.

the wts, can send a letter saying " sorry your shits gone in 3 months", but is this really legal?

Waste of time. You had volunteers who WILLFULLY volunteered. They could have requested to leave at any time at that.

VA shooting suspect was raised a JW! He mentions it on his Twitter account

anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

Everybody has a mental issue of some sort, if we claim paranoia, anxiety, etc are symptoms for being that. If this is true, EVERYBODY needs mental help. Life has up and downs and can affect people in different ways. I'm not a medical expert but I think some behavior is tied up more in a person emotional state. If a person is too angry or too sad, they can do some crazy things. Sure you can correlate emotions with mental health but is it true in every case like this? A thug, who's mad at society and mad about his life, goes out and kills some people. Is he mentally ill?

As soon as I heard the news this morning, I knew what arguments would be brought up on this board. The same crap every time. This is not a case of mental health or gun control. The guy was angry, he knew who he wanted to kill, and he killed THEM. How is he no different than the gangsta who goes out and shoots people? This shooter, from what we know, had no mental history. He was disgruntled and had a vendetta. I'm tired of mental health being thrown around these cases. There are people who really need help of course, but some are driven by emotion and can act out their feelings. He knew what he was doing by filming it and using social media. The violent culture and media in America are to blame the most. We got to look at the whole picture and not focus on one area

by flipper in

i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.

i thought this report was very well done.

here's the link : http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/07/28/australia-jehovah-witness-sex-abuse-hannigan-lklv.cnn.

Why hasn’t someone gotten real pissed off yet?

by John Aquila in

i keep reading of some guy who is so upset at someone that he goes into a theater and shoots 20 people..

or a kid that is so mad that the other kids made fun of him that he goes to school and shoots a bunch of kids..

or some guy that was fired from his job and he goes back and shoots of bunch of his workers.

whathehadas

Thinking about it, I would like to see how the news media and social media would react to violence against JW. What would people say about it? That would be of interest to me despite the shame of the actual event. The WT doesn't really interest a majority of the public as is, especially in the western world. So if something like that happened, would you have people say that they're sending out their prayers to the JW victims, even if they're not fond of them. Also, how would JW address the situation when they go out door to door? Would they try to ignore it?

@SimonSays you're crazy. We can't talk about this situation because of that shooting? Really? This thread is NOT making fun of victims of those crimes.
