this came to my mind after i read 24k's would you go back thread.
just say when armageddon came jehovah gave you one last chance to repent of your apostate ways and live for eternity with jw's.
would you take jehovah up on this offer or ask him to strike you dead?
I with the "giving the bird" crowd.
For all the children that died because of blood, the abuse in families, the lives that could've been, the pain caused and so much more, "Take your Paradise and shove it". I'm done with the hiding and regret nothing I've done.
'course, easier said than done. Survival instincts would probably take over,..lol
how important is it for you to be certain about something before you act on it?
example: certain about the watchtower having the truth.
then certain that they don't have the truth.
Rather impulsive here as well but i trust my instincts. That's how i was able to question and leave the org. I didn't seek out other xdubs or a knowledge base such as this. I just "knew" it wasn't right. And I remember when that watermark happened, I left not long after and didn't look back.
I don't think I've ever really been "certain" about anything since other than the fact I will deal with it as it happens.
is there a secret to becomming good at math?
or is it a matter of having a special talent and if youve got it your blessed and if you havent your stuffed.. like an artist who is naturally gifted, goes off and produces a brilliant picture without a lesson in his life.
and the person who really , really loves art and would like to paint and has dozens of lessons and produces crap.. i know when i worked in a place where we had to add up in our heads, i got really good, but when i left so did my ability to add up quickly and accurately.. if there is anyone out there with any good tips, id like to know .

I agree on the distinction between arithmetic and the higher order of numbers that is math. Semantics. Thank you.
Fascinating article. I didn't read it earlier and just responded to the Leibniz quote. Too bad for him that he lived at the same time as Newton, who as I understand is credited with the discovery of calculus though Leibniz theorized it as well. If I recall, Newton and Leibniz both "discovered" differential calculus independantly but Newton theorized integral calculus overnight as a result of a challenge, or something like that. Amazing.
I had a hard time understanding calculus and physics in college but i did better when the abstract could be associated with a real world situation, which is usually the case anyways. The tough part is seeing the problem and making the connection, the numbers just follow it seems. Rote learning bites, visuals rule. I recall asking a math teacher about the relationship of the basic functions of a circle, circumference and area from a point to 2D to 3D and asked if and how the function scales upward into higher dimensions. He just kinda looked at me, said yea and continued on. I guess it wasn't in the curriculum, lol.
The math behind music and sound fascinates me though i never studied music formally. The relationship between different scales and modes, physics of the instrument, constructive/destructive interference of waves, the "magic" of harmonies, etc. Wave propagation of sound. Pebbles dropped in the 3D pond. Ever look at a vibrating bass string under a strobe? Me neither but i know it looks like a whole lotta sine waves getting funky, lol. Mind candy.
I love fractals BTW. The math of God when he's just doodling. The duality of a chaotic pattern tickles my brain, lol. I have a fractal poster above my computer, courtesy of Gregory Sams.
one of my hobbies is recording original music with either of the two bands i play in.
i've got a roland si24 8 track interface/control surface and use sonar on the pc, various plugins (waves native bundle dx plugins for mixing and isotope ozone for mastering) .
just finished one cd for one project with another in the mastering stage.
Cool,
Thx Confession

math and music eh?
I've heard about the correlation before and am inclined to agree. I was good at math in school but not especially. I did teach myself a different method of basic math that worked for me in my head better than the methods used on paper, a mental "bubble sort" kinda like mneumonics
I've always had melodies and beats running through my head since i was a kid.

Thanks all
I am leaning towards a ProTools system but I have a PC and am not sure if it'll run on that platform. I'm not serious enough about it to justify shelling out for a Mac at this point though as the current system will run about 24 tracks before real time FX start to max out the CPU and dropouts start.
'preciate the input, (no pun intended)
yesterday, my brother and his son were in town visiting.
me and the wife decided to go out and get some pizza to bring back for supper.. when we pulled up to the pizza shop, a guy came up to the car window and gave us his sob story about how he had cancer removed, how he refused to stay in the homeless shelter, and presented a stack of papers stapled together along with his mb health card.
he asked for any change that we may have.
Yea, apparently they can make some good coin.

I don't give to teen panhandlers at all myself. And it's a once in a blue moon thing anyways
Here's one; when u see one about to hit u up for dough, head em off at the pass. Ask THEM for change. The look on their face is priceless.
LMAO
i get upset very fast, if a product i use since years gets discontinued.
gee, if the weatherman says it's 75 degrees outside and i know it's 80, i'll phone him and tell him to get a better thermometer or put glasses on.
often i feel like writting to the mayor and ask him what is he waiting for to pave the streets of the whole city.
