Nothing in life is stable as a Jehovah's Witness...

by silentbuddha in

at least in hindsight it would appear so.

i remember as a small kid not making friends because ultimately they were going to die.

i never saved anything because money would be useless in the new world.

Favourite female heroes in film ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

... well, obviously not rey (daisy ridley) from the latest star wars films.

she's a complete mary sue.

but, before hollywood tried to force sjw propaganda down our throats, there were lots of powerful, legit female characters in film.. here are some of my favourites .... ripley (sigourney weaver): i though this character was great.

I loved Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, but I preferred her role in The Brave One specifically because of the glorious retribution scenes.

Medical marijuana

by Mikethegreek in

hey everyone.... i'm new to this but i would like to run my experience with medical marijuana past you.

i'm 48 years of age and have been in the truth for my whole life.. i suffer from ankylosing spondilitis and have for many many years.

it's a debilitating form of spinal arthritis and the symptoms of this auto-immune disorder affect more than my spine.

I would ask the same uptight elders if they have any moral objections to alcohol or other pharmaceuticals such as pain killers or anti-depressants. They will probably spout their typical gibberish about following the law of the land, that same "law" they have no problem breaking under the guise of "theocratic warfare."

If smoking it makes the elders uncomfortable, explain that there are other methods of ingesting it. Edibles is one way you could go. Personally, edibles give me horrible anxiety. I prefer vaping THC concentrates because the effects are felt within a few minutes.There are also sublingual THC sprays that you can spray under your tongue which allow you to dose in exact amounts. Another option are the THC capsules. These will be dosed with the same milligrams as the edibles. The availability of any of these will depend on the state of course. I'm in California, so any of these are easy to get your hands on.

Another option that I have seen some still-in JWs use is CBD. CBD is completely legal because it is derived from Hemp plants. It has all of the natural healing properties as THC, but without the psychoactive effects. It also doesn't show up on drug tests.

Dr David Kelly and Danny Casolaro

by LoveUniHateExams in

i’ve long been interested in the death of dr david kelly – i bought norman baker’s book and i recently bought a book by miles goslett on the topic.

in his book, norman baker mentions danny casolaro.

he was a freelance journalist who, like dr kelly, was also ‘suicided’.. i’ve just been watching part one of a two part documentary on casolaro’s ‘suicide’ … and am fascinated with the parallels to kelly’s death.. prior to their deaths, both men were involved in highly sensitive matters – kelly had come forward to a journalist to blow the whistle on the blair government’s sexed-up dossier; casolaro had been gathering information on underground activities involving the us government and the cia.. both men were found with their wrists slashed.. there were certain discrepancies in both cases.

Not familiar with this particular story. But it does remind me of the Gary Webb story. Except in Gary Webb's case, the government didn't kill him, just ruined his reputation for exposing the CIA's connection to drug dealers bringing cocaine into US and using the profits to fund Nicaraguan Rebels.

The movie is worth watching if you're into these types of stories:

The problem is that uninformed people throw around the term "racists" or "fascists" at Trump style conservatives when the situation doesn't always call for it and it ends up muddying the water for other situations where those labels are appropriate.

Being Pro-American does not get you labeled a racist or a fascist in my book. Openly advocating for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the subjugation of anyone who isn't white, unfortunately, will get you labeled with the dreaded "racist" or "fascist" because it fits the actual definition.

Not Being Invited To Gatherings.

have you ever found out that your "buddies" from the kingdom hall went out to have fun and did not invite you?

if so how did you feel?.

Apostate Anonymous

There's no way to sugar coat it, it sucks. Nothing hurts more than feeling like you are left out. Especially by people that you consider a "friend" or "buddy." I experienced this heavily during my early teens when I was still "in" because my family was considered bad association due to my brother getting into some legal trouble. My so called "buddies" in the hall stopped talking to me and ceased to invite me to gatherings. All because of something that was beyond my control. It was at that point that I realized that it wasn't really a friendship. It was all conditional.

This was honestly the biggest eye opener of my life and the catalyst for me leaving the organization right before I was about to get baptized. And thank goodness for that!

Our very own pale.emperor on the "shunned" podcast.......

by dubstepped in

well, i offered in one of his threads to have him on the show and posters seemed excited at the possibility and we got it done so now you can hear from the man himself on the newest episode of "shunned".

one of our very own stepped up to tell his story, well, aside from myself of course.

it was great getting to actually speak with him.. this is my first international interview for the podcast.

Thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Thanks to both of you! Will definitely be listening to further podcasts. Pale, do you happen to have any of your stand-ups recorded? I too am a fan of the dry humor lol
