I haven't sampled alot from this genre, but I did like the following two songs which are spiritual in their own ways. I think only the later is a Christian rock band.
Show me the Way by Styx and Higher by Creed.

((Brenda)) I'm sorry about the frightening news. And the waiting is awful. I knew two people who had brain tumours. My Gr.7 classmate's tumour was around the top right side. We didn't see Memmi for the rest of the year, but he was back the next, and was alright. The other was a middle-aged man in the congregation I grew up in. It affected his hearing a bit according to him. By the way Lena was quickly and expertly checked, she's clearly in very good hands. Thats a huge positive.

The Watchtower: Sincere Old Men or Deliberate Deceivers?
by metatron inwhen a witness encounters injustices engendered by the watchtower and considers them.
with clarity of mind, he is likely to suppose that , at worst, the old men who run things.
are sincere but misguided.

I made the mistake a long time ago of thinking that all the WTS "heavies" were sincere but deluded. Now I realize that all of them are sincere about wanting to keep the entity known as the Org up and running. Why they feel that way varies, from the sad but troubling to the unethical and sickening.
A few of them may very well be delusional, and have tied up grandiose plans of salvation and glorification along with that entity. We know though, that there are others that have known the dirt for quite a while but decided to keep it under wraps. To me, it looks like they've only made changes when there was some threat to the "health" of the entity (numbers and $$$$$). They are undoubtedly deceitful, and they've been running the show for a very long time.

How do I feel about GW in power? Lets see, the precedent set by his doctrine of the pre-emptive strike, the policy that pushes the idea of using a more diverse aresnal of nuclear weapons much like conventional arms, and his general I'll do what I want attitude....."Oh-Oh"
TV programming this side of the millenium sucked. Then again I only get what comes over the free airwaves. So aside from the news, I have no desire to watch.....Well...ummm..okay there were two telenovellas...only two (recently) . But they're foreign so in my defense, I'm being cultured somewhat.
I'll stop while I think I'm ahead and say nothing about music. Except that I found William Hung's rendition of She Bangs and Take me Out to the Ball Game sorta interesting to listen to .

Dawn Wells (Mary-Anne) hands down. She has beautiful eyes, a prettier face, and an awesome set of gams despite her being shorter than Ginger.
And after some extensive observation I have to say she's just as busty as ginger too.

Positive Islamic Thread
by eyeslice inthere has been a bit of stick about the negative comments about islam on this board, so i thought i would start a positive thread.. towards the end of the 90s, i lived for a year in an asian country with a population of over 100 million muslims.
all muslims i came across were honest, decent people.. a couple of years back, i went to work in iran for a couple of weeks.
as a result i had a couple days off at the weekend, which also happened to coincide with a public holiday.

For god's sake half the people over there don't even have toilets. They go to the bathroom in a hole in the ground for heavens sake.
You can find pockets of under-developed areas in alot of modernized places.
1992 - Roccamorice, Abruzzi, Italy. I visited my aunt and I stayed for two weeks in the stone house where my mom grew up. In that mountain town, a hole is what anyone up there ever had. The towns in the valley though are nicely fitted. My mom is only in her fifties so I'm not talking about medieval times. :)
Although if you knew how Italian women were treated by the men in her generation, that word "medieval" would be about right.

Which Ones Got To YOU?
by Sunspot in.
rather than hijacking lostreality's "question" topic, and frannie's post---i began to think of movies that were particularly moving to me...... there have been many throughout the years, but right off the top of my head i'd have to say "imitation of life" (lana turner), "love is a many splendored thing" (william holden), "the way we were" (barbra streisand) and "evergreen" (barbra streisand) that really made me lose it in the theater.. what movies struck *you* the hardest?.
annie....who should have invested in the kleenex corp)

The movie Life is Beautiful (particularly the ending).
And though this sort of genre isn't a favourite...I really was moved by the bitter-sweet life of the main character in The Clan of the Cave Bear.

We all have mothers....
by Preston inmy mom was born to a jewish family on staten island, new york 50 years ago.
she learned "the truth" from a group of sisters who told her that the jews were not god's chosen people and that she needed to be baptized.
she went through most of her life not following the society to a "t".

Preston,
You have the beautiful quality (as I can gather from many of your posts), of screening out the superficial and looking at the inner workings of a person's psyche. Despite my having the EQ of a stone, the bit of sensitivities that I do have, are usually enriched from the perspectives you give in your thoughts and those of others too.
You've given me a nice thought to reflect on. I almost want to call my Dad ;)
Happy New Year Preston.

Hi again Confused
Hope I didn't offend you by calling you "kiddo" earlier. I wish that all teens could enjoy their younger years thats all. From your 3rd post I can see you've grown up much quicker than I had.
I know you need to vent alot of the frustration from the JW-related crap. I supply for highschools and middleschools and have seen and heard alot of other teens do the same sort of stuff. Use protection....ribbed...to show extra consideration for your gf.
Also, don't blow you're time and money on useless addictions. I've personally had a couple of friends who've wrecked their futures by letting that take over. Getting a set of wheels is a way cooler rush anyways. End of sermon.
