Any industrial music fans here?

by avishai in

Snowcrash

I've been a loyal KMFDM fan since I first heard them about eight years ago. I love industrial music. I'm mostly on the EBM side of the fence with VNV Nation, FunkerVOGT and the like, but I love all industrial music. I just happen to listen to the danceable (read: stompable) stuff a little more. Nothing beats a little Velvet Acid Christ every now and then, though.

Spiritual Food For The Sisters!

this is so crazy, i had to post.. i guess you'll have to click on "jehovah's witnesses".. .

The "buttembly" is probably there because the forum has a filter that replaces certain words with others, and doesn't care if those letters in that exact order happen to be part of another word.

What is your Favorite Scene from a Movie?

by Sweetp0985 in

i thought about this topic last night for the board when watching one of my favorite movies.. 1. the man from snowy river- the part when they are going after the expensive colt and they get to the edge of the cliff and all the other riders stop and "jim" keeps going and leaps down the cliff after the wild horses.

i absolutely love that part of the movie...everytime its on i have to watch it, if not just to see this part only.. 2. love and basketball- when she tells him she will play for his heart...awwww first time i started crying.

and then the music they had playing in the background made it even worse.

Blade Runner - The beginning sequence between Leon and the Blade Runner. "You see this tortoise lying on its back, baking in the hot sun, but you're not helping." "What do you mean I'm not helping?" "I mean you're not helping." Then, where Roy meets Tyrell. "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly!" And then the end when Roy dies. "... All of these moments will be gone, like tears in rain."

Young Guns - The scene where Chavez introduces the rest of the boys to peyote. "You see the size o' dat chicken?!"

Zardoz - The introduction of this wonderfully craptastic movie featuring a floating head painted up like a vaudeville magician. "Is God in show business, too?"

Dead Alive/Braindead - The zombie baby scene, where two of the zombies that Lionel is taking care of have a baby (hey, don't ask me...) and Lionel takes it out for a walk, only to have it escape in the park. "... Hyper active." Screw Lord of the Rings, that was Peter Jackson at his finest!

Convention time this weekend

by Doubtfully Yours in

spent a bunch of money getting the car ready for the trip, buying silly clothes to avoid the looks i'd get if we show up with the same old kh outfits; plus the money spent in hotel stay and the food consumed at lunch and dinner out the 4 days.

it's an awful expense when you factor in the time taken off from work for this event too.. the outcome of all this effort?

just the same old talks and warnings i hear day in and day out at the kingdom hall.. i'll try to make the best of it, but i'm sure to be bored out of my mind most of the time.

I went to my DC last month. If you actually pay attention, you'll see some amazing stuff! For example, during the DC, I witnessed a bible study conducted in English and German at the same time! The teacher spoke English, and the student spoke German, but they understood each other perfectly! It was amazing! This was when they unveiled that new book with all the languages in it. They actually encouraged people to start studies with people who spoke a foreign language. Not find someone who speaks the language and get them to do it. No, they want YOU to do it. Also, did you know that people in ancient times flailed their arms wildly when they talked?! I didn't! District Conventions are amazing things!

TELL ME YOUR MOST EMABRESSING JW STORY-WE ALL GOT AT LEAST ONE!!

by tresbella in

.

i hate informal wittnessing.

ya'll need to understand how embarresing it is for a 20 year old socialite like myself to be outside in the middle of the summer with a handful of wt magazines in my hand in front ff the 7-eleven or gasp

I've got a few. They're all a little on the risque side. Well, I mean, risque for a Witness is anything that even alludes to the fact that people reproduce.

One would have to be slipping on the word "Moral" and saying "Oral" in front of the congregation. You wouldn't believe the amount of giggling coming from the congregation. You would have thought it was a sixth grade sex ed class.

Kind of a backstory to the next one. You see, the night before I had helped this girl from another congregation sneak out so that she could meet up with her worldly boyfriend while I spent some time uh.. in my car with another girl from my congregation. The next day at the meeting, the grandmother of the girl I had helped sneak out comes up to me with a young teenager on her arm and practically begs me to study with her 14 year old grandson since I'm such a good, upstanding brother. I felt a twinge of guilt. After all, this woman trusted me and I'm probably the worst person she could have come to if she wanted a good, upstanding brother. Luckily, the elders swooped in and put an end to the situation. Since they're from another congregation, the kid wasn't my responsibility. Praise Jah, you people!

And then, there's the crippled man's wife. I'm sure this woman is about as sexually frustrated as they come (no pun intended). At times she can be a little flirty with the young brothers, but nobody seems to mind. To my knowledge, nobody takes it seriously, and since she's an elder's wife, none of the young brothers would even dare do anything but smile and nod. The great thing about this woman though, is that she has a good sense of humor. She's one of the only elder's wives I've met that can take a joke, and she likes to crack one every now and then to keep things lively. I've on many occasions been the object of her flirtacious joking. One day after the meeting, as I'm walking to the car, she slows down, rolls her window down and yells "Hey, good lookin', you goin' my way?" Knowing that this is obviously a joke, I yell back "You can't afford me, lady." Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I see her husband wheeling toward the car. To this day I have no idea if he heard us, and I have no desire to find out.

Bands you want to yourself?

by Lostreality in

.

we all have them..bands we want to be recongnized, but dont want to become mainstream because then they cant be 'your' band anymore.. what are yours?.

mine: massive attack, portishead, gunfighter, ok go, god lives underwater.

VNV Nation. The last thing I want is a bunch of screaming teenagers who can't stop talking about Ronan's track suit instead of the bassline on "Fearless".
Also, it's good to hear that someone loves God Lives Underwater as well. They're a major influence on my music.

What Are You READING?

by patio34 in

okay, it seems it's high time we had another thread like this!.

for serious reading, i have exceptions to the rulers by amy goodman (goes great with fahrenheit 911!

)the curse of adam by bryan skyles (i think) (it predicts the extinction of males.

Snowcrash

I'm currently reading "Count Zero" by William Gibson (just two more books after this and I'll have read his complete works to date!), and Dante's Inferno. I'm reading some short stories by Bruce Sterling, H.P. Lovecraft, and Clive Barker as well.

After this, I plan to read "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk again. It seems rather appropriate at this point in my life.

Favorite Female Vocalist

by Nosferatu in

who is your favorite female vocalist?

for me, it's gotta be darby mills from the headpins.

that woman's got one hell of a voice!

Snowcrash

Hands down, Janis Joplin. She had a great and unique voice, but she also sang really catchy songs. Who doesn't sing along whenever they hear "Bobby McGee"?

Let's face it, if the purpose of this topic was serious, Elsewhere wouldn't be at these forums and would still be in good standing with the organization.

" So when does the WTS think youth ends, 16, 18, 21, 25?"

In my experience, the WTS seems to think youth ends at birth.
