Aw...this is sweet. :)

I sent an email to Spirit of the West thanking John for writing this song and about Kevin being the exJW hero and why we relate to this song.

I received a message back from Hugh McMillan from Spirit of the West and I will share it with all of you:

Thanks very much for this message. The song was written by both John Mann and Geoffrey Kelly, and the band arranged and contributed to the music; we are glad to know it is resonating with others, particularly those in situations for whom it was written/inspired by. You may also find resonance in “The Rites of Man”, which draws upon similar subject matter, although it’s more a lament inspired by a sad conflict between survival and faith.
In wellness and healing,

i have a question for all the creative writers out there.

if i'm writing a book, can i quote anyone that i want, as long as i give them credit?

for instance, i want to quote mark twain, imitating rocky, quoting donald trump.

OrphanCrow

Yes, you can quote anybody you want. But you have to credit them.

Provide a reference and source and you are good to go :)

Study article: "Go, and Make Disciples.." is a hot mess

by Sanchy in

so i hooked into meeting via phone this week to listen in and was shocked at the absurdities mentioned in the study article (2016 may watchtower: "go,..and make disciples of people of all the nations").

the answer is obvious—only jehovah’s witnesses.

the answer the missionary priest gave in no way proves that jws are the only ones "preaching the good news".

jwfacts: How do JWs lap up such obviously poor and contradictory reasoning?

They want to.

stillin: Also, I think the WTS has made some major changes in their approach to pedophilia, haven't they? Call the police immediately is pretty good, in my book.

No they don't. And if you believe they do...I have a bridge to sell you...

Money-grubbing...

by DATA-DOG in

i'm not sure if anyone is keeping track, but as of today, the wtbts has spent $40,000.00 usd to avoid releasing sensitive documents to the superior authorities.

that's $40,000.00 usd of "dedicated funds.

are you a born-in jw?

Crazyguy: I think and hope he's not about the money but about seeking justice...

Justice is measured by monetary settlement

Without a monetary award, there is no justice

stillin: I get nervous when something from 30 or 40 years ago is dragged out for public consideration.

Good thing you aren't a lawyer, then! :)

If you think you get nervous, just consider how nervous those victims are - and how much pain and suffering they have endured for 30 to 40 years. And THEN to have people doubt their experience...an experience that they have re-lived each and every day for decades

Thank goodness not everybody gets nervous about the past....thank goodness there are lawyers and judges that don't have a problem with their nerves

If anyone deserves credit for dealing with nerves...it is the victims themselves. The victims who have to prove that they were violated so long ago...so long ago...years and years of suffering

Did I open the gate to the realm of demons?

by redpilltwice in

this is what happened.

i had a sore tendon in my wrist.

i could work with it, but nevertheless the pain was there.

OrphanCrow

Sorry, fukitol, I didn't mean to be insulting. One of my biggest defects is being blunt and direct. Some people interpret that as being rude. I apologize...I will add smiles and flowers next time. :) :) :) ;)

fukitol: Better to just accept that there are some forces and mysteries that we can't explain or comfortably fit into a purely materialist paradigm. Doesn't mean you're compromising on atheism.

Lol! yes, there will always be couch sitters in the world. There will always be those who find it easier to just "go with the flow". No issues, no problems...and no thinking

Oh, and by the way...where the *beep* did you pull atheism from???? It is a strange comment in this context. It sort of resembles a red herring actually

There are things that can be discussed on this forum that have nothing at all to do with belief/nonbelief in a deity

jwdaughter: Anyone know why they are inserting a little e every time they spell out JeW.org on the pictures? As we all know, that is NOT the branding message

Could be to avoid copyright issues
