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.
some recent acquisitions include:
Karan Casey - "The Winds Begin to Sing"

Keb Mo - Blues Guitarist/Singer
Lee Scratch Perry - Classic Reggae, "The Essentials" series CD, released on Hip-O Records.
the jw's always teach that our prayers should not be repetitive.. however, for those that are still "active" (and for those who still remember), i present to you typical words or phrases that make up a jw prayer.. feel free to add to the list!.
-"dear heavenly father, jehovah" or "jehovah god".
-"bowed heads and humble hearts".
Lisa - yeah, I remember when they said spirit isn't sold in portions anymore, now you gotta buy the whole case.

ooo oooo I got one...
how about "the Rambler" found in every congregation...his prayers are extraordinarily verbous and usually end up as meaningless drivel, it goes a little somethin' like this:
"...dear heavenly Father Jehooooovah...we humble our hearts dear father and mercifully come before your glorious heavenly fatherly thone of wondrously undeserved kindness and graciousness and bow our imperfect heads in submission to your supreme sovereignty of all the universe dear father Jehooooovah....and we say:
thank you, ....through the name of your only begotten son and our mighty redeemer and king...the sinless lamb of the world..the word..the Logos..aka Immanuel, your son Jeeesus name, AMEN!
im not asking from someone elses standard but instead from your own.
obviously jws would view most of us here as the worst of the worst but how do you feel about yourself now that you have left the watchtower?
what changes have you noticed about yourself?
All of you are so lucky. Very soon after leaving the JW's I became addicted to heroin and other strong drugs...this habitual drug use has led me right into direct contact with demons. They (the demins) then introduced me to dollar bars, gentlemen's clubs, and strip joints. This then led me into addiction to masturbation and pornography. I'm a lot happier now.

"i pronounce you husband and wife.. you may now shake hands.".
"you say you're a sister and.
yet you are wearing a pant suit?!?".
great stuff Biggs!
must one get baptized (complete immersion) no matter how severe their handicap?.
(paragraph 2, sentence 3..."since baptism by complete immersion is a scriptural requirement, humans have no authority to exempt someone from baptism.".
my thoughts: what elder/co/do will dare take a risk in exempting one from baptism if they have been told by the society that no human has the authority to do this?
Nice catch Biggsy! there's no end to their lunacy.
so if you commit suicide by drowning yourself no one can sue the WTS...what BS!

I think I know you. Are you a friend of my stepson Marcus?
-BadWillie.

see my profile pic to the left.. that answers the question.
this was just forwarded to me.. (we need more comets to help take all of the stupid people away from among us!).
this comes from the branch in canada....... in england one of our blind brothers had a seeing-eye dog that would.
faithfully guide and take him to the meetings each week.
Here's a classic for ya, this story was popular in London in the Early/Mid 90's:
A woman who is a clairvoyant lived in the Twickenham area (this is where the district conventions are held in London). Anyway, the story goes, that some JW's knocked on her door - and this is what she told them: that every year during convention time she looks out her window towards the Twickenham Rugby Ground and she can see multi colored spirit creatures that come down from the sky like flashes of lightning, and that they then bounce off of what appears to be a green glowing protective dome over the stadium.
Whenever this story was repeated most JW's were like "wow, holy spirit and the angels are busy fighting off those demons" - we just completely believed these stories. It's embarassing!!!
scanned for your convenience.. contradiction #1:.
um, doesn't the gb elevate itself above the so-called 'rank and file'?
not to mention the elders, the minsterial servants, the pioneers, auxillary pioneers, co's, do's, and attendants.
All these contradictions are soooo obvious to me now - it proves once again how braindead I was and many still are.
Thanks Biggs!
