The music that moves you....

by FlyingHighNow in

once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.

he named each song after a person in our family.

this is the one he named heather.

Geeeez , FHN this is going to absorb the rest of my life looking at these , sampling them . Thank you , it opens up a world of music I would not have explored before. Not that I appreciate all thats been submitted , but who does .

You're welcome, Smiddy. I pop on here and there and see that the thread keeps being brought back up. I'm always glad about it, too. This is a thread that is a joy to see go on for 22 pages.

Thank you, everyone, for bringing the music that moves you, to our attention. Mouthy loves to listen to the songs you contribute. That is pretty special, in and of its self. I need to go back and start over from page one and listen to each contribution. I think I shall do that tomorrow.

Looks like the hospital wanted a judge to make this decision from the get go.

I was looking at pictures of Errol Flynn today. I've always thought that Kevin Kline favors him. I guess they tried to make a movie about Errol's life with Kevin playing Errol. I'm not sure if it was ever finished. I thought of you and your avatar.

I know that pure breeds have predictable behavior traits. Mixed breeds, you never know what you're going to get. I have seen people do some pretty unsanitary things. My sister used to let her dog drink out her glass. I don't think naked dog or cat butts belong on human furniture, tables or counter tops. I remember an episode of the show Sex and the City. Charlotte got married and her husband was running around nude and sat on her white sofa. It clearly upset her. Who wants a sofa or bed that smells like people, doggy or kitty bottoms?

What If the Soul Sleeping Doctrine is False?

by Cold Steel in

when god breathed life into adam, adam became a living soul.

moments before he had been only a concept...an idea; a lump of clay if youre a literalist.

now he was a complex living and breathing being.

Cold Steel, I've sent you a PM.

So if this happened, how do you think most Jehovah’s Witnesses would react, seeing that this, one of their premier doctrines, was false? How would you react? Would most Jehovah’s Witnesses despair or would they continue to maintain their beliefs in the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society?

Honestly, from what I've read, including books about near death experiences and death bed visions by Melvin Morse MD, an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington, JWs are just going to be happy. After you die, there's no wondering. I highly recommend reading Melvin Morse's books. He was once a huge skeptic about NDEs, believing the same kind of things that JWs teach about NDEs. I've read some other interesting books on the subject.

TX- wonders why the rest of America views it as a substate where craziness reigns?

We know that ultra conservative politics causes a lot of trouble for many Texans. If you've lived there, and especially if you have friends there, you know that it's a loud mouthed minority that gets the press. There are plenty of great things about Texas and Texans.

I live in Michigan, a very conservative part of Michigan: it's not much better here. In Michigan when it comes to the law of consent, there is no similar age clause. If you have a couple who've been dating since they were 14. They both are 15 and one turns 16, the parents of the 15 year old can press statutory rape charges against the 16 year old. Their is no excuse for the circumstances. The 16 year old will carry sex offender status for the rest of his/her life. Fifteen year olds are considered to breaking the law of consent as well. So if you have two fifteen year olds, they are not exempt from the law of consent. These laws should protect kids from older kids, from rape and from adults. They should not punish teenagers in love relationships for having consentual, premarital sex. Michigan is a long way from Texas.
