I have read this before. There could be several reasons, but one could be that SOME educated people think that they're smarter than everyone else and that they can cover their tracks with spouses and others.

Why can Witness Doctors give Transfusions and sisters sell cigarettes??
by Witness 007 init's a "mortal sin" for a witness to not "abstain from blood" or smoke, yet witness elders who work in the medical field are free to administer blood transfusions.
and sisters that work in a supermarkets in the section that sells smokes are free to do so.....it's like not being immoral yourself but being a "pimp daddy" for others..

The bible says alot of things. Many things are disgusting to the Almighty. That's ANY sexual relation aside from marrige. The bible says that even THINKING of relations are offensive to God....so, homo's are the same as everyone else. None of us satisfy God's high standards.
That's why so many are thankful for Jesus who takes away the sin of the world.
no offense intended on the homo's point

If you are embarrassed by your faith/doctrines/beliefs to the point that you hide it from others [even when doing field service initially]...then you might be a JW

Lets go to the tape. What does the Word of God say?
Heb 13; 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.
So, if you believe the bible, I guess it's different then the WTS Jesus, eh?

Regulate Marijuana Like Wine (interesting article)
by sabastious inhttp://regulatemarijuanalikewine.com/legal-and-political-analysis-of-regulate-marijuana-like-wine/.
i am ecstatic to hear that people are attempting something like this.
i have always thought that using marijuana could be likened to using wine as a medicine.

There can be as many strains of weed as there can be types of dogs.
Or a better analogy could be types of wine..depending on the buzz.

Loved the Floyd. Too bad that Water's ego ruined great chemistry. He wrote the words, but Gilmore has that sound that others wanted on their albums [Pete Townsend and Paul McCartney to name a couple] I do not know of anyone asking Roger Water's to play on their album, but I may be wrong.
Although Momentary lapse of reason was not the typical Floyd rock opera, it did set up a much better division bell. That is one of my favorites [just like the final cut]
just mho mind you.

Thanks so much Band, DOC and Mind blown. I know ofcourse that all of you are right. My direct approach has not worked in years, so there's no sense in keeping that tact.
I must submit to common sense.
Thank you all for confirming what I knew, but didn;t want to admit.
Merry Christmas to all!
