Church is a good experience. I recommend visiting different churches. I prefer the Anglican type liturgy, but it's good to visit other churches and even investigate how non christians worship.

I like Ted Neeley from the 1973 film version of Jesus Christ Superstar. He's a rocker from Texas and is currently touring with some of the film castmates, around the world, celebrating 40 years of the film. He's a pretty cool guy in real life. I see his posts on facebook every week.

If you think you will enjoy a fundamentalist church, Baptist will work. There are different Baptist sects, though. What country do you live in? Here in the USA, we have some pretty hellfire and damnation sects.

I went to several congregations while I was a JW. Most people worked hard and only those who needed help got it. I never knew any pioneers on public assistance. There is no shame in seeking help if you need it.

Jesus Christ Superstar
by FlyingHighNow inappreciation for the original soundtrack for the rock opera theater cast and for the movie that soon followed.
but any comments on any of the versions or stories you have, thoughts you have on this masterpiece by andrew lloyd webber would be cool.. first question: ian gillan, the original jesus, of deep purple fame on the soundtrack from 1970?.
or ted neely, a texas rocker who did the role of jesus in the movie?.

If you haven't seen this wonderful, first film version of Jesus Christ Supertar, and even if you have: here is the whole movie on youtube.
Ted Neeley who plays Jesus is a rocker from Texas. He met his wife, one of the dancers, while filming this on location in Israel. He's got a facebook page and posts some very grateful, uplifting posts. Carl Anderson, who plays Judas, died in the past few years. The rest of the main characters toured the country for the 40th anniversary of the film. Ted, Yvonne Elimen, the actors who played Pilot, Caiaphas and I think even Josh Mostel showed up in various combinations.

Why did Jesus tell the convict on the cross next to his, that he would be joining him in Heaven TODAY??
by Faithful Witness inmaybe a silly question, but i'm curious about this part of the story of christ's crucifixion, when the 1 thief challenges jesus to save himself and "us too" from their deaths, but the 2nd thief rebukes him and pleads with jesus... .
luke 23:42-43: and he said unto jesus, lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
and jesus said unto him, verily i say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.. .

Do you believe there will be "Mass Suicides" within the BAC/JW community?
by booker-t inas a "therapist trainee"(still have to take my license test) i worry about all of the religious people out there who might commit suicide if the rapture/armaggeddon does not materialize.
what if the bible is proven to be "a big fairy tale" will born again christians(bac) and jws kill themself?
i worry about some of my older jw relatives that have waited for armaggeddon for 50 years and are still waiting.

The highest suicide rate is among the elderly. I imagine that the same people who would normally be at risk for suicide, will be at risk for suicide. The people who just "roll with it", they won't commit suicide. Being at risk doesn't always translate into carrying through.

According to JWs, it's all in the placement of the comma.
