there is an entire family of jehova's witnesses who all work at the same place as me. These people don't curse. They also don't ever celebrate holidays like christmas, hanukah, halloween, or even new year's eve because they are not real enough or something. They also don't have birthday parties and get married in public meeting halls at the library with donated cakes and thrift store gowns.
Last week, troy was damning those who "are high," with words that are slightly nicer than curse words. So much for not cursing others, eh? He was talking shit about some former employees who I had fingered as potheads (yes, I'm a traitor- big fucking deal). I aksed him, "how many people in this store do you think are high right now?" fyi- everyone except for this dude's family and a couple of girls who work there, including most of management and ownership, is a pothead. Troy names the one girl who is a high school cheerleader and has never even touched alcohol because she's good friends with Jesus. She's fucking crazy though... just plain hyper and stupid. Somehow, the compassionate jehova's witnesses are teaching they're kids that only crazy people are on drugs. I have been so fucking stoned in front of this guy and he thinks I just swear too much. He had no clue that potheads were normal people.
I suppose anyone who prays at church daily has some sort of issues with inividuality. I assume the only thing that would make people give up half of every work day for church is fear to travel too far away from a building or a book. Sober people are scared of who they might be on drugs. They fear that they will become an insanely hyper cheerleader from smoking a joint. They lack the intestinal fortitude to take a risk and deal with the consequences with the full knowledge that they only thing they might confront is their self.
