tijkmo, Thank you for introducing me to Judee Sill - I just did a little browsing and landed on this site where you can hear a few more of hers. You just need to download their little player plugin, but it's fast. Can't believe I had never heard of her, but if you take a toke and listen to her, whoooooooaaaaaaaaa!

What a rush from the laura nyro video. she has been my favorite signer/songwriter since i first saw her in 1969 or 70 in los angeles at the Dorothy Chandler Theatre. She wore a long red dress and was barefoot. I only saw her 2 more times, but collected all her albums,and was devastated when I heard she had died. This clip was such an unexpected treat, I need to explore youtube some more! Thanks for the "trip"!

i've had this thought for quite a while and wonder if fits with the recent talk about the wts claiming that matt.
24:14 has been fulfilled.
my thought was this --- in the wake of the recent cutbacks at bethel, scaling back of literature, and other cost cutting measures, could the wts be preparing the r&f for the complete or massive reduction of literature that would normally be placed with "householders?
The way I see it, there are two groups of witnesses who will get excited:
1. the ones who weren't around when this happened in 1975
2. the ones who were and who have nothing left to live on
oh wait, also those who just love to stir the pot of self-righteousness.
I hope that some, including my family members, will finally "wake up" and get out. The recent WT article on wifely submission was so outdated and ridiculous in EVERY way that it makes one wonder - wtf is up with them anyway?

some of you asked for a scan of the february 15, 2007 wt study on wives being in subjection.
i forgot to mention, the one paragraph stresses that not only are you a second class citizen in the marriage, but women are also to "obey" the numbnuts in the congregation, even if you've got a higher iq:.
.
I read the article and the whole time kept waiting for it to say - HAHAHA GOTCHA! I couldn't imagine that this drivel is really a WT Study article. It doesn't even rate second-grade english, maybe first-grade, with the reasoning of a first-grader. This is a STUDY ARTICLE, not optional material, and if this quality of writing/reasoning continues, they just can't stand.
As I read it, it is encouraging wives to stay with abusive husbands (of course, no mention of abusive elders), but shouldn't this get news coverage? First, discouraging reporting of sexual abuse of children, and now the "dusted off" update of Rutherford's exclamation that "women were only 'a stack of bones and a hank of hair.'"
Maybe it is an indication of the level of intelligence they are aiming for - dumbed dumbed dumbed down and stripped of all "natural affection". ~sigh
over the years, the society has included half a page in their annual guidelines when planning for and attending the district convention.. in particular, they have been very insistent that only hotels on the recommended lodging list be used.. .
the language in this month's km is even more insistent than last years.. .
here is the text in full, with the original emphasis.. .
...and they think they are losing members NOW? Oh well, this may be part of the separating work: those who can think will leave, the rest will stay and be putty in their hands. How many people really LIKE going to these anyway? They are going to make it such a grueling experience (can you imagine it being any MORE?) that people will just say forget it and stay home. They are getting really scary.
DUDE!
aint i a clever bastard?
i worded that there thread title so's i get you to read this and help my poor forgetful, used to remember, brain out and show me some documentation using jw's vs. christendom teachings on this question.
here's the question.. how do you prove to a jehovah's witness that the "great crowd" spoken of in the book of revelations is a group who's eternal hope is a "heavenly one" rather than a "seperate" group of jesus followers with a seperate eternal residential destiny?.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I am so glad to say that I don't know, don't care, and can't believe I ever did...the truth has set me............
i have a "singing kingdom songs" cd.
it's a cd recorded at bethel of a few select jws singing some of the more popular kms .
by the way, it always bothered me that most of the songs are sung by men.
ebay baby!
it was a place, where paradise already existed.... is it just me or are jw,s getting crazier?.
check out this site.
