Isn't it also true that in some states you are allowed to grow marijuana for only you to consume? I heard a little while back on the Howard Stern Show a guy in New York who was facing charges for growing over 50 plants. He's arguing that only a few of the plants produced "good" weed and that it was all for his own consumption. Of course, he'll lose cuz it ridiculous to grow that much.....but does anyone know what is legal and in what states?

alright, this is one of those what was your favourite questions:.
when you were a witness (or even if youre still reluctantly attached like me), did you have a favourite kingdom melody (why couldnt they just be called hymns by the way)?.

Well, Dig, you knew I'd respond!
When I first met Nick 2 years ago, I learned within a few weeks of dating that he smoked pot. I told him that I would most definitely never try it. Of course, that didn't last long! Now I would much rather smoke anyday over taking in any alcohol. I feel no after affects from pot the next day. Besides, I believe alcohol does more damage to your liver than pot would ever do to your body.
Marajuana has been shown to be medically beneficial as well. I will often smoke when I have an upset stomach or when I'm having trouble falling asleep. My boyfriend too has asthma. Bad enough to have inhalers. His asthma has never been affected by weed.
As with everything, I believe it comes down to balance. Pot does NOT rule my life! If I never smoked another day, I would be absolutely fine. But I don't see any harm in it at all! And as long as I'm not hurting myself or anyone else, the choice should be mine.
My aunt has been waiting 30 years for marajuana to be legalized. I sure hope it gets done soon. I really see no reason why it shouldn't be on the same plane as alcohol or cigarettes.
Incidentally, I have never smoked cigarettes nor do I ever intend to. I believe cigarettes have more of an addictive power than weed.
HAPPY 420!!! (tomorrow)

by kimberly inalright, this is one of those what was your favourite questions:.
when you were a witness (or even if youre still reluctantly attached like me), did you have a favourite kingdom melody (why couldnt they just be called hymns by the way)?.
i remember thinking they were ok as a young child, but that was until i got to secondary school and heard the other kids singing proper hymns in assembly, while i had to stand outside.

tergiversator, I love "Then they will know". Such a powerful sounding song! (yeah, right) Wasn't that one of those that the chorus was a question followed by the answer. In our hall, a few times, we would have the sisters ask the question and then the brothers would sing the answer part. I think there were a few songs we did that to occasionally. Anyone else ever have fun like that in your hall?

LOL Gopher on that kids song!
My mom played the paino at the KH practically since I was born. I grew up hearing her practice the kingdon songs at our house. I was excited to get baptized at 12 so that I too would be allowed to play at the hall. The first time I did (I was barely 13 at the time) it was the opening song. I played almost perfectly until I began to play an extra verse! Everyone stopeed singing & I continued to play!!! Talk about mortifying to a 13 year old! I sat there during the opening prayer but ran to the bathroom crying as soon as I heard AMEN. I was so embarrassed, even though I had everyone coming up to me telling me how much they enjoyed me playing. They all told me that they would have sang another verse! lol I played one more time then decided I didn't like the pressure.
I've never been to another church and so have never heard traditional hymns. I definitely had/have my favorite kingdom songs, especially the ones I learned to play. Song No. 114 (know the number exactly but am not fully confident about the title) "God is Love". My absolute favorite! Got married to it! My mom played it so much for weddings. She learned to adapt the song so that each verse was a little different. By the time the bride walked down the song was so pretty (a lot of ad lib) and in an octave higher. I also love No. 178 (I think). Can't remember the name but it sounded very similar to "Somewhere in Time" (you know....with Christopher Reeve & Jane Seymour)
"Life Without End-At Last" is most definitely a funeral song. I could never understand how people could sing that at a funeral. Even when I would sing it at the kingdom hall I would get all choked up. One time someone wanted my mother to play it for their wedding. We were so disgusted....IT'S A FUNERAL SONG!!! Were they trying to say something about their marriage. Wonder if they are still together?
Anyway, around 1990, I believe, the Society said "no no" to using live music. So the hall sold the paino. Singing at the hall was never the same again with the cd's. Singing with mom was just so much better. Guess I got a little spoiled! My mom hated it too. She had played for years, even playing clarinet for the circuit & district assemblies back when she was a teen. I guess singing those kingdom songs were only tolerable & sounded halfway beauitful compared to traditional hymns if accompanied by live music!
Aahhhhh, the good ole' days!
