  Oh yes....On CNN.com, they have the transcript to the tape and it was horrendous. I don't think I've ever been so angry in my life...Hearing these ignorant men talk about the twin tower attacks and then say "Blessed be Allah", it made want to fucking throw up.

  I hope to god Osama suffers a slow, painful, horrible death. I think they should capture him, bring him America and throw him to the angry crowd, preferably families of the victims. That would be justice to me.

  Shwoooo.....OK, I feel much better now that I've vented. If any of you get a chance, log onto CNN.com and read the transcript. If their was any doubt Osama was behind the attacks before it is gone now.

  Trusting You To Make Me Smile!

  a few months ago, 'somebody' - or 'chag' to h20'-ers, and i, had some dialogue about smiley music.. 'smiley' music is music that brings a great big smile to your face, when you hum or whistle along to it, you just can't help a big grin spreading from ear to ear.

  it has to be good enough for you to say "wow, that is good", it has to be good enough for someone to take the trouble to wait for the download via audiogalaxy before they have even heard it.. so, what music / song can you recommend to others like me?

  bear in mind, please, that i shall post my opinions very, very honestly, especially if it takes forever to download!.

  Enjoying the 5 senses

  by joelbear in

  as many of you know, i struggle from time to time with depression and even suicidal thoughts.

  i was thinking yesterday that the next time i get to feeling that way i would remember very simple things that bring me great joy and tie those to a sensory experience that i can bring up in my mind to remind me of how good life really is to snap me out of those deep foul moods.

  so here are my 5.. taste -- the taste of my mother's pecan cookies warm out of the oven.. smell -- the smell of my yard after a spring rain.. sight -- the sight of the north georgia mountains' fall leaves.. sound -- the heart touching songs from les miserables.. touch -- the feel of getting my back scratched by mitch.. please feel free to add your 5.. hugs.

  Here are my 5:

  Touch: The feel of my boyfriend's embrace when we first see each other after a long day of work.

  Sight: The majestic Montana mountains and gentle streams during the summertime.

  Smell: The smell of Peony bushes in full bloom.

  Sound: The sound of birds chirping in my Crabapple tree, early in the morning, while I lay in my warm bed.

  Taste: The taste of a Long Island Iced tea while sitting in the hot summer sun (preferably on a beach).

  I have to agree with conficted on the "Celestine Prophecy". I have the book at home but can't remember the author either. Although it is a fictional book, it did impact my view of spirituality. The whole idea of the book was that God is all around us, in nature, in our hearts. It mildly mock's organized religion.

  Another was "Memoirs of a Geisha". Unfortunately, I can't remember the author of this one either, but it is an excellent story. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down.

  Last but not least is "White Oleander" by Janet Fitch. Excellent plot. The main characted goes through the most horrible things possible and instead of feeling helpless, she finds strength within that she didn't know she had. She ultimately learns that happiness lies within yourself and comes out a winner in the end. I strongly recommend this book.

  Does DF'ing Backfire?

  by metatron in

  1. jw

  in an organization as obsessed with control as this one is,.

  i have to wonder if the society's leadership ever considers how.

  disfellowshipping can turn against them.. i doubt, when they developed the idea of a person "disassociating.

  I have to admit that I have often wondered how shunning is the "loving" thing to do and how it will encourage a person to return. This may not be true is most cases, but I've noticed that most disfellowshipped JWs I knew weren't sinning because they were evil people, but because they were going through very hard times and were looking for an escape, even if thier choices weren't the best or most moral. I think when somebody is going through something like this, you would want to surround them with love, not banish them from the congregation and judge them as bad association.

  Once a DFd person gets over the initial shock of loosing his/her family and friends, their reaction isn't, "They were doing the loving thing and helping me see the error of my ways." like the society wants. Nine times out of ten, a DFd person tells the society to fuck off and they never return. Yep, I see the DFing policy is REALLY working.

  Tweetie:

  I just checked out your question on the thread you posted asking YOYO to answer. I must say, you made and excellent point. I think YoYo hasn't answered because he has no answer for you. Very good theory.
