Christians for Cannabis - Purpose?

**Ferre**

To open this discussion, here's what I posted on their forums a couple of days ago...

RogerChristie · Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:26 pm Post subject: Christians f-o-r Cannabis, or?

Ferre wrote, "For years now, I fail to see what that site or organisation is contributing to the internet that isn't available anywhere else, or is doing for Christians who use Cannabis.

Do I miss something? Is it just me?"

Aloha. It's me, too, my Brother. I have sensed for years now that Jini, the Founder of Christians for Cannabis, does NOT - yet - realize that cannabis is the s-a-c-r-a-m-e-n-t of the early Hebrews and Christians in their holy anointing oil and is STILL and FOREVER the 'tree of life' mentioned in the Bible they respect so much. Why? I can't imagine how this can be missed, but, come to think of it, it took me a while to understand it, too.

Christians for Cannabis seems to be a place where Christians are only 'forgiven' for their use of Cannabis. It's so much more than that, in our opinion.

Maybe a gift of holy anointing oil for Jini might do the trick and 'release the yoke of her bondage', too. Hmmm... :-}

All the best,

Roger

I'm glad you see that too. Man, they have so much potential to really DO something, to really make a difference, they are ranked high in the search engines and get a ton of traffic and all they do is waiste all that, and point people to NORML, who are the same kind of energy obsorbers and leeches on the efforts of real activists.

I simply don't get it, or it is purposed to slow down any movement? Perhaps it's that, the more I see I more I suspect faul play.

Well, still no replies at that site. I wonder why their forums are hidden for public. Are they ashamed of something?

Maybe we should make a bid on their site, we could make it into a much more usefull tool to fight prohibition and serve Christians who use Cannabis than they have done the past years.

Maybe we should buy it.

Well, today I received an answer at the Cannabis for Christians forums from Jini, she claims that the website is a "success" because it serves its purpose to give information. She doesn't realize that she is sending her visitors to NORML, who are doing everything they have in their power to sabotage our cause.

Anyone who has read the comments that NORML-chief agent St Pierre has given to the press about religious use of cannabis knows that he is "the enemy" and not on our side at all.

I have not answered her post yet, I know she means well and I don't want to give her a bad feeling, if you read her post you'll see that she hardly has any time for the site.

I do wish we can get to some sort of working together and I hope this will be the start for it, I also hope I wasn't too harsh on her, it's just the whole situation that had me frustrated a bit, like looking at a brandnew sportscar that is rusting away at the neighbours drive-in while you are a sportscar lover... something like that.

Today I found an email from Christians for Cannabis in my mailbox, that was send out to all the forum members on that site.

It seems that I did manage to get her attention, but she seems to assume that my critics are "an attack".

Here is the email;

After she send out that email to all the members, a few have replied, Jini did reply to those posts and desided to totally ignore me in that topic.

I hope to get some communication going soon, for now it's only a few people who come to defend her because of the "I'm attacked" message of her.

Funny that, she could be thankful that at least I draw some people to her forums, the most read forum post ever on those boards has only 60+ pageviews, and that's the topic I just started.

We are finally evoking response, I just gave them some thoughts to mull over myself, as the post of one particular member somewhat disturbed me and illustrated just how little CoC in its current form is doing to promote and share information actually related to the topic of cannabis in Christianity.

Perhaps we should calm the waters a bit though, and see what happens, as this could lead to a beautifull partnership, or a flame war that would cause nothing but harm to both our oraganizations. I have the utmost respect for you brother Ferre, you know that, but perhaps we should give the admin some time so that cooler heads may prevail. I take great inspiriation from Roger in situations like this, 'lets find the blessings in this'.

Peace and love,
Rev. Brian

I think you are right brother Brian. I'll go back into my normal gentle mode.

Unfortunately they seem content to offer no useful content, and I don't really see the use in continuing dialog with them. The answer to the first post is clear:

"What is the purpose of the website"
To provide links to information that can be found on any other pro-cannabis site.

Maybe you are right.

Well, I do know that their forum has had more pageviews for that one topic in four days than their entire forum has received since it started.

(I checked)
