  after talkin in chat tonight....it has got me and a friend talkin about whether marijuana should be legalised.. my view...yes, .

  i) who has the right to tell me what to do with my own body?.

  ii) alcohol is a legalised drug....each year more deaths occur through alcohol abuse than marijuana usage.. iii) people smoke it anyway and the question is not bein addressed.. iv) it's great to get stoned!!!

  be wise legalize

  if not pot then hemp/ good paper, no dead forests/ good rope,no plastics/ good fabric, no synthentics

  how many old bibles do you think were printed on hemp?

  pot is a drug, a drug is a medicine.

  there are many medical conditions like; MS-glaucoma-AIDS-some kinds of seizures, pot would have a beneficial aeffect in the treatment of these and other conditions, but the doctor can't prescribe it, morphine yes, percocet yes, pot no

  i can see no sense in the, it's just bad that is all, thinking

  it is just a drug like any other. use and abuse are two different things.

  3 Gods Equal 1 God?

  by 7robert7 in

  2. friends

  as i sat back thinking of some of the discussions i've had with witnesses over the years, one always stands out.

  the issue of the trinity teaching, whereby father(jehovah), son(jesus), and holy spirit when combined equal one god.

  a witness friend from work once said that it was an impossability, and was beyond human understanding.. i asked him what he thought we believed about the trinity, to which he responded with a math lesson.. 1 jehovah god + 1 jesus god + 1 holy spirit god = 3 gods, he went on to state that 1 + 1 + 1 can never equal 1 god, it always equals 3. to which i added a little math lesson i learned as a child.. 1 jehovah god x 1 jesus god x 1 holy spirit god can equal 1 almighty god.

  yerusalyam,

  the WTB&TS inc. "fixed" john 1.1 and every thing else that might "confuse" people about jesus. the anti-bible (NWT)
  helps us see we are still "flesh and blood" of the OT.
  jesus didn't do shit for us. with out being the WTB&TS corporation's
  slaves we are sentenced to annilation. jesus came to save not the world but only the "annoited" whose slaves we will still be after "armegeddon".

  silly rabi tricks are for kids
  in fact to accept the godhood of jesus is to deny jehovah becuse,...ummm......umm...oh shit, i forgot the slogan. well it is bad, that is beond doubt, i read it in the WT.

  Indisputable/physical facts

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the bizarre world that exist within the watchtower society headquarters in brooklyn you can find all kinds of strange statements.

  particularly funny is the use of the expressions indisputable/physical facts.

  according to the watchtower from 1922, indisputable facts showed that jesus second presence began in 1874!

  the WTB&TS inc. uses "slogans" instead of information.
  this is all a part of the "mind control" thay love so much.
  

  a question i kept asking myself whan i was in the hall "are we worshipping god or am i being taught how to argue the bible and sell WTB&TS inc. products?"

  JWs vs. Baha'i

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  founded in the mid-nineteenth century, the bahai faith has spread to some 232 nations and territories and is now accepted by more than five million people.. the word bahai means follower of bahaullah.

  his name in arabic means the glory of god.

  his followers believe that bahaullah's writings are an expression of the holy spirit and are the word of god.

  1971 "The first recorded use of this form [Jehovah] dates from the thirteenth century C.E. Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk of the Dominican Order, used it in his book Pugeo Fidei of the year 1270 C.E." {AIDB 884-5} [so the insisted-upon usage is unscriptural]

  oh, it's a catholic thing

  when man and wife marry there is one or 1+1=1 or the bible might be wrong, or maby math (an abstract mobel representation of what is) is not adequate to speek of what is beyond. it seems to me that people are saying i don't understand the math so it must be beyond god, not necessarily so. what we don't understand can be.

  who but the WTB&TS inc. or any of there subsidiary companies, deny the christ in this way? the WT rejects almost everything about jesus.

  When did Jehovah change his mind

  by OlderTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the old testament (hebrew scriptures for jdubs) solomon, david abraham and many others who jehovah considered as friends and he used them for various jobs and he blessed them.. now these friends of jehovah had many wifes and also conubines, some even had children with these and jehovah approved.. jesus comes along and he is gods son and according to jdubs in subjection to god the father, equal to god the father for other christians.. what gives jesus the right to overrule his father and say anyone who divorces exept for reasons of adultry and marries another is a fornicator and will get dfed?.

  jdubs go a bit further and allow divorce if the ex is likely to endager a jdubs spirituality but the consider remarrieng the crime.. q can jesus overrule his father ?

  q why, when did god change his mind?

  Would you slam the door in his face?

  by OlderTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if a man knocked on your door and introduced himself as jesus christ son of jehovah, would you ask him in and feed him or would you slam the door in his face and call the cops?.

  if your daughter came home pregnant and claimed it was an imaculate conception, would you believe her?.

  why do you believe in the other virgin birth?.

  to all active JWs,

  get out there and sell sell sell!! this is going to be expensive.

  praise be to jehovah! for the fine righteous layers.

  praise be to the WTB&TS inc. without whom we would not know the right thing to do.

  hey janh.

  remember the chat earlier today?.

  buddhism: the doctrine, attributed to buddha, that suffering is inseparable from existence but that inward extinction of the self and of worldly desire culminates in a state of spiritual enlightenment beyond both suffering and existence.. doctrine: a principle or body of principles presented for acceptance or belief, as by a religious, political, scientific, or philosophic group; dogma.

  buddah teaches, all life is suffering.

  he teaches all things are buddah things
  
  he teaches that all things are one thing

  he teaches that all life is one life

  he teaches that we are all buddah, the one and only buddah

  he teaches that if we let go of our attachments we will see for ourselves, the grate void, that is real life

  he teaches there is no suffering

  a mother, farther and daughter are working around the house the farther said, "budism is hard" the mom said, "budism is easy" the daughter said, "budism is not hard or easy, budism is."

  only the daughter knows what budism is

  try reading the teachings of the great budda christ on there own. just what he said, not what you think he ment to say. i think you may come to know why i call him the great budda.

  not too long ago the buddists and the catholics had a convention.
  the priests of boulth religions faught like cats & dogs about the details of both faiths, thay got nowhere. (i know buddasts call them selves, all monks, but thay are not)

  the monks from the two religons got on fabulously, thay found no differences, for thay were men who have a personnal expereinces with the oneness of all things. the others were functionarys of the churchs-- not the same thing at all as living delibratly

  The Long Goodbye......

  after a transatlantic discussion with my wife we have both reached the conclusion that we will not be posting to this board again.

  though we see the board as serving a useful purpose for some, it does not at present suit the path that we have chosen to walk to extract ourselves from the wts.. this board is in an invaluable place for those of you who have recently left the wts and need a place to stretch your wings and share you hurt and pain.

  but once we learn to fly, it seems important that we should leave the nest as quickly as possible, lest we become caught in a vacuum between the wts and real life.

  goodbye step,

  But once we learn to fly, it seems important that we should leave the nest as quickly as possible, lest we become caught in a vacuum between the WTS and real life. Virtual friendships are virtually friendships but not quite

  i am not sure what you mean, let all the people hurt by the WTB&TS inc. fall or fly on there own, with out help from you or me? let us not talk of anything that might hurt someone's feelings, like good little borg?
  
  WTB&TS inc. is virtual life. so how real were your WT friends?
  do real frinds only tell you what you want to hear or do thay tell you how it is? sometimes it sucks boss.
