This makes me so sad!!! I didn't grow up this way so it is totally apalling to see that people teach this to their children. I have a five year old son who question me all the time about what happens when he dies and so on, and its hard to answer some of his questions. Wow, to have to explain that to him!!!! I can't even imagine! How horrible that you would celebrate traumatic things happening to anyone of this earth. We are all God's people no matter what are beliefs are and saddens me when anything bad happens to anyone. I guess since I was never in and never got brainwashed its easier for me to see the outside, but I totally can't imagine living that kind of life and actually believing that!!

What Music Do You LOVE To Listen To? What Do You HATE?
by minimus ini love r&b, soul, neo-soul, and "classic" disco.
certain groups and performers i've seen and enjoyed were earth, wind & fire, marvin gaye, anita baker, the temptations,luther vandross, janet jackson, and literally hundreds more.
i don't care for country/western, punk rock or heavy metal..........what do you like/don't like?

I love just about any kind of music imaginable. There are different occasions that call for different music but it all has its time and place. I think that music is truely an amazing art form.

The coldness of Watchtowerism thread
by Brummie inwhen my dad died on november 9th none of my jw family turned to comfort my mother, no phone calls no cards no words of comfort.
its over a month now and still they havent made any contact.
it doesnt really matter since they are all jws on my moms side but dads side of the family are catholic so they were all there to give the strength needed to cope.

Do you believe in Soul Mates?
by Lost Diamond inhow many here believe that we all have a soulmate somewhere in this world that is especially for us, or do you believe that the person we happen to fall in love with becomes our soul mate?

I don't know that I would necessarily call it soul mates but there is definately something out there than is stronger than just a human connection. I don't believe that it is possible to receive that kind of connection with just anyone. I think that in these days it seems to be nearly impossible to find someone that you can totally connect with on every level but it is still possible. I also think that you have to want the relationship just as much as the other person. Marriage is not a 50/50 compromise, it's 100/100, all the time. My fiancee and I have an amazing relationship that I wish everyone in the world could experience. Maybe if they did it would be a better place. We still have fights and arguements, everyone does, but 99% of the time we can laugh about them within minutes. We are totally content just being with one another. It is just undescribable how much different this is than anything I have ever experienced. So in a way, I guess I do believe in soul mates but I also think that it takes work from both partners.
