  Medical Cannabis

  over the thanksgiving weekend my family and i stayed with a dear friend.

  our dear friend partakes of medical cannabis which helps with his depression, insomnia, and panic attacks.

  he suggested that my husband should give it a try because it could help relieve his pain and help him to sleep during the night.. so hubby tried it (three nights in a row, about 15 minutes each session), didn't like the scatchy throat he got from inhaling the smoke but he said it helped his pain and he was able to rest.

  Why does the society say that a plant created by Jehovah God is evil?

  I am for legalizing it too. I would love to smoke it as I did in my youth. I did take it in pill form when I had cancer.

  Yknot, that list is golden. That is pretty much right. A few more things I could add on though...

  Little stuff list:

  Halloween is evil and so is every other holiday.

  Facebook and social networks are evil. That was recently said at our DC.

  Beards. That is absolutely a man made rule. Good call on that one.

  Bad comments list:

  "You know if you don't go to the meetings you will never see your father again"- that was said to me when my father had died and I had missed two months of meetings...

  "You can't be a real effective witness unless you own a computer"- That was said to me when I didn't have one. I countered with OH YEAH? what about the brothers in Africa that don't even have clean drinking water? He said I was being ridiculous...

  What is conditionally of the congregation mean?

  Don't tell me Gladiator, I have to sit in silence and can't comment. Then I have to have meetings with the apostate elders before I am allowed back in?

  SD7 I wish I could have my old name back. Everytime I tried to log in it kept saying it had no recollection of me or my password so I created another profile. I love the character of BANE. The only guy to really ever break Batman.

  Guys, this is more for me than trying to fit in here. I still believe in the teachings of the witnesses. It is the little stuff that has pissed me off to no end. I married a worldly woman. I never get invited to the get togethers because of it but they tell me all the time that I am a member of their family...We are a small congregation so I should not be looked over. Been in the truth 16 years and people younger than me are always appointed. I am there and do service etc. This is crap! I am a pioneer too but I miss a month and tell the Elders and they come to tell me what is wrong with me etc. Not to mention all the other points I have already mentioned. I would love to read the book, however living in Mexico it is not at your local library. I also can't pay for things in dollars. I was hoping it would be free to read on the internet.

  Maybe one of the mods can fix the BANE problem for me?

  What Don't You Like About Jehovah's Witnesses?

  yup, this is a negative thread.. there are a lot of things but i'll start with one.. jws believe god will destroy 99.9% of the world simply because they aren't witnesses.

  this view produces the "i am better than you" attitude because they get to live forever and you will die forever.

  (not a nice religion)..

  I really hate that if a single or married brother shows up at the hall for service and another single or married female shows up and they are the only ones out....They aren't allowed to do service together ONE time!!! Geez, they are not going to have sex with only one time!

  But you are talking about a people that most are ignorant. There really are some dumb people in the org. I don't think ANY Elder should fault someone that has only an elementary school education in the area of socks for crying out loud. That is a crime. There are some in latin american countries that don't know any better. Shame on anyone who puts down someone's sincere effort like that. No, I am sure Jesus would have been too dirty to be on the platform according to THAT elder.
