Even I agree that the comparisons to the Trump Admin are a bit far fetched. With that said, the show does provide a grim look at what this country would be like under a sort of Christian Fundamentalist version of Sharia Law. I would imagine this is the kinda thing Ted Cruz would wax his carrot to LOL

Saw this article earlier today. It takes a slightly apologetic tone....

When it comes to the Elders, I definitely wouldn't turn them in myself, but I would gladly step aside and let them get dragged away

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

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

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 ini’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:
