  This Forum. Has it changed? For the better or for the worse? Or not a at all?

  when i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.

  that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.

  i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.

  This is a healthy discussion guys. It's important to check in from time to time, for 'apostates' or 'opposers' like us presentation is even more crucial, since they claim we're just angry, resentful, or vain.

  It's disturbing isn't it, when somebody wants you to do something and won't explain why, it begs the question of why they're doing that in the first place. If they know they can't explain it, and they admit they can't explain it to you, why do they want you to do it?

  The answer being because it serves and ulterior motive beneficial to them.

  someone may have already noted this.

  the current assemblies are be strong, be bold.

  how about be fooled, be misled, be bullied.

  so where does the cult stand on marijuana.

  my wife just visited her parents who are jws and her dad who knows nothing about it said it was a gateway drug.

  he may have heard it on the news but i doubt it.

  Yeah I could see that happening, pretty much every dealer can get you pot, but those same dealers also sell other stuff or know people who do.

  Highly dangerous, that's hysterical Thomasdam. Do you hear yourself? There's a lot of things that are highly dangerous in this world, pot's not one of them. I'm about to light one up, it calms me down and helps me think. It's also got therapeutic benefits, supposed to reduce pain and help people sleep, that's not what I use it for, but enough people tell me that that I give them the benefit of the doubt. Stop watching Reefer Madness.

  I heard pot was a gateway drug back in high school in the 90s, far as I'm concerned the government just doesn't want us to smoke something that might let us think in ways they don't want us to think. This organization is no different.

  How is it no one questions an expense like that, 11500 for what? A plane ticket round trip from California costs like $1,000, maybe. Do they own the Assembly Hall, constructed with volunteer labor, the usual?

  Whole Study Article on Commenting at Meetings

  i guess less people are commenting now.

  last week's whole wt study was dedicating to the issue of commenting.

  people were literally making comments about how to comment, it was very meta (not that most there would get that), anyway the main reason that wt gave to explain away people's lack of commenting?

  I saw one where 'Kevin Bunker' starts talking about the pedophile problem into a handheld microphone and they cut the sound on the microphone and he acts all confused and says the microphone died. Too funny.
