  Who thinks Cannabis/Marihuana should be legalised?

  by lfcviking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think in most countries it is illegal to use this drug, so do you think it should be decriminalised, legalised & taxed, made legal for the medical proffesion or should it remain completely illegal?

  please state your reasons for your choice.. lfcv.

  bbdodger, let's talk music.

  the new "punk" to me is backstreet boys *gag* with mohawks, where's the anger, social and political commentary that the genre was built upon?

  a great example of that would be "lincoln park".

  i know, i'm spelling it right ;).

  so, ever since i was a little kid, i always wondered about other faiths.

  because i was born and raised a dub, only went inside of two other churches in my life for weddings.

  What "Unwritten Rules" Did Your Congregation Have?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew of a hall that allowed only white shirted speakers on the platform for sunday public talks!

  when a visiting speaker did not wear the official white shirt he was either told that he couldn't give the talk or he could change shirts,as the hall kept a variety of sizes, just in case of an emergency!!!

  i don't make this up.

  Did you ever choke while offering prayer?

  by Jourles in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of all the times i was called upon to say prayer, i only remember choking once - but it was such a big choke i totally embarrassed myself for days on end afterwards.

  and this one time wasn't even at the kh, it was in a home right before we were going to pre-study the wt.. there were roughly 3 elders, their wives, and some other close friends of mine in the living room.

  i'd say there were around 10 of us total.

  Visit from my mom, oh the joy.

  by RollerDave in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realize it's been a while since i spun a good yarn, but the past few days i have had my mom staying with us, and that is enough to fuel a yarn if anything ever was.. it starts last week when my sister, mrs po was over at mom's trying to discover why mom's pc seems to randomly shut itself off for no apparent reason.

  i imagine she scoured the house for garage sale items with attached legions of demons or mischievous smurf dolls before noticing a correlation between the ancient prehistoric freezer mom has switching on or off, and the lights dimming and the pc simply going poof.. but it couldn't be this pleistocene menace freezer that is the problems, it has to be the top-end pc i built mom.. please excuse me while i roll my eyes and peer at the back of my skull for a moment or two..... there.. anyhoo, it gets decided that i'll come out and pick mom up along with her pc and bring the both of them back to my house for a few days.. not decided by me mind you, but decided nonetheless.. i mean, i've got a giant truck that chugs gas as if from a fire hose and an electric scooter to ride up to mom's door, why shouldn't i go collect her, haul all her stuff to the truck, load it, help her climb up into the truck and then load my scooter?.

  all from the back of my scooter, mind you.
