it has been over a year and a half since my last ceremony.
which was way to long.
my son came up from scottsdale for the ceremony.
I would like to say that Ayahuasca is drug as you say, but to many around the world who have tried it is a sacrament, and medicine.
That's what they said about LSD, peyote, and marijuana in the sixties. Later they said cocaine wasn't dangerous. I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict. I work in a 28 day rehab facility. I think you're doing drugs.
i converted at age 22, and left 15 years later (1988) so i don't really know what its like to be in high school as a jw.
for those of you who do know: do teenage jw's hang out with each other?
worldly kids?

For those of you who do know: do teenage JW's hang out with each other? worldly kids? nobody? Lie to your parents/elders about it? I'm curious, this might be background material for the novel I'm working on.
Thanks in advance. Sometime in the next few days I'll put up a post about my latest adventures in writing.
this may be a plot point in a novel i'm working on.
will a judicial committee take testimony from a df'd or da person?
i could see them wanting to get dirt from any possible source, on the other hand i can picture somebody saying "he's df'd everything he says will be a lie.

Maybe there's official direction or do they leave it up to the elders involved? Just curious.

And, Yes that is a real question. I would like to see the answer.

So what?
that russian thing, all those suits, the bitter political divide... it's getting out of control.
i think trump could resign and pardon all, he even could get ill because to much pressure (even for his lawyer), or he's gonna get so cornered that he could take very drastic decisions.
they should concentrate in govern the country instead, it's getting tiresome.
I mostly ignore the news these days, because its not news, its opinions and speculation. Fox News is the Republican party outlet, all others speak for the Democrats. Actual journalism doesn't exist anymore. The media is the biggest single problem in the country these days, because all they're doing is getting their base all worked up.
from 2012 thru 2016, congregations in georgia and alabama collected funds to build a new assembly hall in south atlanta.
to date, 3.5 million dollars was collected and 75 acres was purchased.
the branch decided that this assembly hall was not needed.
I just took a look at Google Earth. The Puyallup Assembly sits on about 15 acres. I haven't been there in a long time, when I was going there I think it held 2500-3000 people.
A properly designed parking lot holds about 100 cars. A fifty acre parking lot would hold 5000 cars. That is a lot of people, easily 10,000. Are they holding conventions that large in these buildings?
facts we don't want to know.
the purpose of war is to kill humans.. .
which humans?.
During Japan's war with China (1937-1945) At least 20,000,000 Chinese died. This works out to roughly the equivalent of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, every month for eight years.
I guess we could have taken the moral high ground and just let them keep killing.

What were they planning to build there? 75 acres is a LOT of land. Smells like a speculative deal to me. I'd be interested in hearing what they sold it for.
this is my 15th year without going to the memorial.
based on comments, it seems i did not miss anything.
.
I know I did not go in 1989, I almost certainly did in 1987. I can't remember 1988 either way. That was right about the time my wife and I got serious about leaving. I just can't remember if we went.
