  Marijuana---Is It That Bad?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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 have never smoked or used any tobacco products aside from puffing on a cigar a few times (maybe 5 times in my life).

  even with the few cigar experiences (which i did not enjoy much) i never noticed any real "feeling" from the tobacco.

  what is it supposed to feel like?

  it occurred to me the other day that it's been forever since we've had a jw knock on our door, leave a tract or magazine, etc.

  we live in a suburb of a major u.s. city.. what about you?

  when is the last time the witnesses visited?

  we got woke up this morning (again) by a call from one of the elders or his ms assistant, looking for "our time report" for this past month.

  i've been out for over two years (faded), my wife and the kids haven't attended hardly any meetings since the memorial... talk about clueless.

  no "shepherding calls" on her (thank goodness!

  2. beliefs

  being a bit slow, i just finished reading the january 22 "awake!

  ", and back-translating from "polish" into poor english, on page 9 is the article "a reasonable view on the peace of your private life" or something like that (as said, back-translated ....).

  ok, on page 12, second paragraph left column under the sub-heading "a reasonable view", first couple of lines, it is stated: "the creator has the right to know all our private affairs, but people have not.
