THC Ministry... Another scam or not?

So i've been hearing alot about the THC Ministry, lately. Without mentioning any names, certain so-called 'Ministers' of the THC Ministry have been throwing the term 'Religious protection' around. So I decided to look into it - it sounded like a good idea.. I even thought about getting together with a load of people over here and starting the same sanctuary type thing.. But, then, BAM... I found it.. The hidden catch.. Apparantly, to gain religious protection from the THC Ministry you have to send them $200!... What kind of religion asks for money so you can join them!?!? Surely i'm mistaken. Also, certain 'Ministers of THC' have been asking for donations of weed for their 'sanctuaries'..

To me it sounds like another money making scheme.. if it is another scam, then people should know about it

So, to any members of the THC Ministry or to any THC Ministers on this site, im calling you out.. Whats the score?

Its ok i will school u ;)

I know, Ghost, I find the whole thing very confusing even though Patecius has tried his best to explain the concept of the Ministry to me. I can't, with a clean conscious, say that I use marijauna for religious purposes. A. I don't believe in God. B. I smoke weed to get high. Plain and simple. Though some of my experiences have been enlightening, my reasons for smoking have absolutely nothing to do with religion. C. I don't think the cops or a judge would take the religious protection contest seriously at all. If that works, then that would mean we could commit absolutely any crime under the sun and claim "religious" reasons for doing so. D. Although I do believe the Ministries intentions are good, it is not for me.

Hmm. the only reason I get high is for spiritual reasons, but I would not say religious. I'm don't get me wrong, I like getting high, but I specifically place myself in situations before I get high to have a spiritual setting and have insight to learn from every experience.

Oh GHoST, you always ask the wrong question :p
You should have asked: "What religion does NOT require you to part with wealth?"
A far easier thing to answer lmaooo

...errr...I can't think of any though :confused:

was hvyfuel into that...im sure i read it somewhere on his posts, and he sounded like a good guy

It's legal to smoke at the liberty bell in Philadelphia, for religious reasons since it's on federal property. They at least take the issue with some seriousness.

The THC-Ministry is not a Religion it's a Ministry.

The religion part of the THC-Ministry is being a part of the Religion of Jesus Church. For more info on the Religion of Jesus Church just click:

http://www.hialoha.com/konagold/church/

You do not have to send $200 as I have said before in past posts. You don't have to send any money at all. All you have to do is become a member of the Religion of Jesus Church. I personally became a Rev so that way the documents are more legit and I love to witness to people by smoking them out. I know some people here that are a part of the THC-Ministry have asked for free weed but that's what One Person I freely give weed out alot to many people. People living on teh streets, friends that are out and have no money, my wives co workers that are broke and have no weed. Thats what I do I Minister. If you join the THC-Ministry it gives you more legit documents proving that you are an active Minister that uses cannabis. The whole thing is just for more document proof so that way as some one said the judge and cops don't just laugh at you and take you to jail.

If you want to see why it's legal as a Religion stand point just click

Most will agree with what is said about cannabis and it's purpose.

Okay, mike meek.. I apologize. I stand corrected.

But, if the THC-Ministry is only for people who join the Religion of Jesus Church, then where does that leave me? Are you saying that atheists can't join the THC-Ministry if they wanted to?

The THC-Ministry is not only for those that join the Religion of Jesus Church just as this forum is not only for pot smokers. Both serve a purpose of information. Those that smoke cannabis and feel as we do they join up. Those that don't feel as we do don't join up. Simple. You asked where does it leave you. Simple, did you join or did you not join that is the answer. It's up to you just as believing in God is up to you. Everyone is welcome to the forum and the group THC-Ministry that again is up to you. About atheists I believe Ferre is one and he runs the THC-Ministry in Amsterdam. Again EVERYONE is welcome to join the THC-Ministry and it's not all Christians. Look into the group instead of passing it off as Bull.

I appoligize for saying this. It's been a long day at work and I wasn't thinking to clearly. You do not have to be a member of the Religion of Jesus Church to join the Thc-Ministry. It helps with the proof and documents to your religious beliefs but you do not have to be a member of the Religion of Jesus Church. Again I was wrong for posting this:

thanks mike

i wasnt trying to pass it off as bull, I just wanted to find out if it was bull or not.

Thanks for your reply.. It's a shame there isn't a THC Ministry here.. I live on an island, population roughly 90,000, in a group of islands, population roughly 170,000.. There's no THC-Ministry here, i'm too young to start one, and I dont have the funds.. ah well :(

Maybe you didn't look into it far enough. They have a membership kit for around $25 that gets you started building a "religious resume" which has been proven to create a legitimate legal defense in the event that you are involved in an encounter with the law. It will not cover you for sales but there is a good chance that after you join the ministry you won't be nailed for possession, cultivation, or consumption. They haven't lost a case yet.

It's all about how serious you are about defending your rights under religious laws.

Are you sure they never lost a case yet?

I heard a lot about these guys too (although it probably was a different group). I was even thinking of sending them money. They told me that I just needed to send in $200, then they'll send me a card that says that I am part of some religious group. This suppossedly will cover me if I ever get caught, but I really doubt it.

Someone from that group even confessed that the card only helps sometimes. Most times the cops just laugh and bust you anyway.
