  JWs and legalized Marijuana

  by jws in

  i know this was probably covered before in some post, but i was curious.

  what is the jw stance on recreational marijuana use in the states where it has been legalized?.

  i would suspect smoking it, like cigarettes, would probably still be against the rules, but there are ways to use it that aren't damaging to your lungs.

  I suspect that used as medicine, marijuana would be accepted by the younger generation of Elders. I think there are probably some Witnesses whose consciences would allow them to eat Brownies. (They just wouldn't let it be known, so as to not stumble weaker brothers and sisters.)

  JW.ORG Now requires personal address

  by AverageJoe1 in

  logging on to the user area access today, there appeared a message saying that they now require a postal and physical home address to attach to your profile, with a note saying that the branch may change the details as they see fit.

  this raises several questions in my mind:.

  why would they need to have your physical address on file?.

  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  Luhe. Good luck on softening Assad and easing into democracy as long as Russia is involved.

  I'm sure that if we step back and let Putin and Assad have their way, that peace and democracy will soon reign over the Middle East. With the money we save from not needing to ban immigrants, and not having to build up our military, we can easily afford the wall. Problems solved.

  God answers JW prayers about trivialities while ignoring the abuse of little children

  by jambon1 in

  i've heard many experiences about how jehovah answers the prayers of jw's - convention items about pioneers gas bills, car repairs, job opportunities.

  now, if this is true, you are actually stating that god has directly intervened in your life.

  taken action on your behalf.

  There's just no way to rationalize it. It's merely coincidence when a prayer seems to be answered.

  Some comedian once said that if prayer worked, the home team would never lose at sporting events.

  I only had to listen to this guy's opening remarks to know that 99% of what he was going to say for the next 6 minutes was his opinion, not real information.

  This was a video he very much wanted to make, despite his disclaimer.

  Simon. I would never claim that you are racist or a Nazi. You are obviously not. You're articulate, and very skilled at presenting your viewpoint. I just disagree with it.
