  i've not watched star trek voyager for a while and just caught a newish episode with lots of "the borg" .... janeway, tuvak and that half-klingon chick are on a borg cube (dressed as borg) but seven-of-nine is on a planet dressed as, well, a real babe!.

  i liked the tight outfit naturally but the 'softer look' with flowing hair could really grow on me!.

  phoooaaarrrr !!

  What kind of music do you listen to?

  by Leander in

  i'm a music junkie, i like pretty much all types of music.

  but in particular i would have to say jazz is my favorite, but not the watered down kenny g style of jazz.

  i prefer the straight ahead, hard bop type of jazz.. lately i've been really getting into psychedelia rock.

  Star Fleet Battles!!!

  But I haven't played that in a *long* time... (And it takes so *LONG* to play... even with a few ships!!)

  Settlers of Catan, Magic: The Gathering (I got addicted to this one when it first came out! Then one day my parents found some of my cards.. They threw them out on me... At least there weren't any rare cards!)

  Merchants of Venus, some of the fantasy games from Avalon Hill.

  Speaking of ICE... I used to *love* their RPG Rolemaster..

  WT 15 June - Approves of Internet?

  by Nemesis in

  i just noticed this in the latest mags (15 june, 2002, see picture below) on the top box: if we want .

  a concordance to the bible, we can find no better than the internet.. im just wondering if this will lead more witnesses to indulge in some web surfing, with the inevitable consequences of them coming across some critical matter?

  lets hope so!

  Who cares about the Hebrew or Greek translation of the Bible. What matters is what we, the faithful and discreet slave, tell you. And do not concern yourselves with those three dots you see so much of (called an ellipsis by the worldly ones). There are only there for you to give pause and reflect on what you have just read.

  Where else are you going to go?

  by Dawn in

  i have heard that argument from the jw's since i was a child - i still hear it from my family.. now that i am out it seems like such a silly argument.

  in fact, you could liken it to someone in an abusive marriage for years.

  they're used to the situation and somewhat frightened at the thought of change.

  Did U find Sheperding Calls rude?

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading the lb thread "home but hiding" struck a chord with me.. i remember when i was inactive for the period of about a year the elders made a few "sheperding calls".. did anyone else out there find these very rude and condescending?.

  first of all, in my case at least they always showed up unannounced.

  how much do you think those "hell-ders" would like it if someone randomly dropped by their house unexpected?

  June 1st WT...The WTS's Fixation with Death

  by ISP in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the june 1st wt has the cover article should you be afraid of death?

  on the first page it sets the scene as to how death casts a shadow over us.

  it then seemingly gloats over how people in the world are fixated by death.

  Death fascinates us? So when 3,000 people were massacred on 9/11, we were just "fascinated"?! We can't get enough of that? They (WTS) are the one who are the sick bastards.

  Do they somehow believe that when we see death on the screen we want to see more?!! When we see it we are shocked, saddened and never want to see it again..
