  The big difference between POT and ALCOHOL is that society can do a pretty good job of protecting kids from alcohol, you can generally only get it from shops with I.D for example. Also the affect of alcohol on kids can leave them feeling pretty rough, and they may not go back to it, for a while at least.

  With Dope, you don't know where they can get it from, you can't control it. Dealers actually target kids, it's sick. I also believe that dope in kids' hands is VERY DANGEROUS, it can totally alter their outlook on life, can reduce their ambition, and can depress them. At their vital stage of schooling, this can be a disaster!!

  However, it almost reverses as you get older, alcohol becomes more the problem, and it's not so bad for an adult to relax in their own privacy and smoke a joint in a controlled manner.

  I have gone through a period of smoking pot at university but realised that it wasn't a good time to do it, I needed to be focused at that time in my life, maybe when I'm older I'll have some now and again.

  Does anyone else agree that I am 100% right, yet again!

  I could write alot more but I want some breakfast!

  Good luck Jurs, sorry I can't offer advice on YOUR situation.

  Love

  There is nothing wrong with the wod normal. It is NORMAL for a couple to be able to produce children, anyone who disagrees is lying. Lesbians cannot produce children therefore it is not NORMAL.

  If someone spreads butter on their toast with a fork, they may get the job done, but its not NORMAL. It is NORMAL to use a knife.

  People should wake up, and stop getting annoyed at the APPROPRIATE use of words.

  Andee, Hopefully they would bring the child up to be open-minded and understanding. She wanted kids and she was a lesbian, what is there to say??? I believe two loving 'mothers' is better than one loving mother or a mother and an abusive father or a father and an abusive mother or parents that don't love their kids.

  It's not so bad, anyway, one of the mothers could adopt a more fatherly role, I don't know...

  I'm not saying there wouldn't be any problems for the kid at school etc. but at least it would be loved!

  And if no after-life, what.......?????

  regarding war and killing and justice:.

  i think the problem lies in what people 'believe in'.. if you believe in any kind of after-life, you have a certain safety net that allows you to be extra peaceful and in a sense say 'it doesn't matter if i die because i'll be dying for my faith and i know i'll be reunited with my family'.. but, what about those of us who don't believe in an after-life, this world is all we have.. it is so unfair to expect us to sit back and peacefully protest and die in doing so.. it's all about whether you believe there is more than just this 'system' to look foreward to.

  Introspection, I was REALLY hoping noone would pick me up on my use of the word 'normal'. There is nothing at all wrong with saying that, it is a recognised word in the dictionary, I used it appropriately, I was not judging her as a person, I was talking about lesbians as a whole. Men were designed to go with women, thats how it is, I don't need to give you a biology lesson. Normal doesn't mean 'worse', 'wrong' or anything else. I'm completely open-minded and I do not think any less of someone for being gay, there are things about me that are not 'normal' and I am not ashamed.

  An apology would be nice, I am a bit offended, although I understand where you were coming from and will not hold it against you.

  Love

  To KILL or Not to KILL?

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a tough question: to kill or not to kill?

  this is a very tough question because there can be so many variables, so many views, so many things to consider, so many circumstances, so many beliefs.

  do we kill as we do any of this?.

  Hi Intro, I think ALL religion brainwashes to some degree, mainly through the 'pernt-child' cycle of DOOM.

  What I'm saying is, people say 'I can't do that, it says in the bible not to do that....' etc.

  Then another person says 'Are you sure it says that, you might want to look a little closer....' blah blah blah.

  The issue no longer is 'moral' and rather becomes 'intellectual'. That is assuming that what it said in the bible was RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

  How can 2 religions (Christianity and Islam) be such enemies when they both teach similar things and want similar things?, it's a catastrophy!

  I belive RELIGION IS TO BLAME

  Hi Katie, I read all the way to the end ;)

  You sound really nice, a bit confused, but nice. I think you're doing the right thing by talking to your friend. I don't think there's really anything 'wrong' with lesbianism, I actually quite enjoy it ;) (I'm a guy, by the way)

  Lesbianism obviously isn't 'normal' but at least you sound loving and you see the need for bringing a child into a steady and loving family, what more can you ask?

  I'm not an expert but there are ways for lesbians to have babies, these days, don't worry about that.

  I don't know what else to say, except don't let those JW doctrinal facist ideas screw up your life, just try and be a good person and enjoy yourself.

  Good luck, love

  Chris

  P.S Let me know how you get on, keep smiling :)
