  magazine would go monthly, beginning in 2006.. this past service year, the number of publishers in the united states may actually have gone down, according to latest km figures.. this month the society sued quotes for $100,000 claiming copyright infringement and embarassment.. reports have been circulating of po's trying to shut down jw sites on myspace.com.

  I really don't know much about what they are teaching now as I can't bring myself to read the crap they print but I think the comment about them being on auto-pilot is correct. By looking at the covers of my wife's latest WT and Awake I really couldn't tell when they were written except by the style covers of the covers and the date. The read the same as they did 30 years ago. Life without fear is it possible? Yadda yadda yadda, same old hook.

  To me it looks like they are having a hard time convincing their followers to be the hardcore dubs they want them to be. And as mentioned above the internet. How do they deal with that? I think it could be change or die time for the WT but it could be slow and painful death. And if it does die out we won't even have any chairs or table to remember them by like we do the Shakers.

  We were at a Toronto Raptors game this March and Gordon Lightfoot was there - they put him in the spotlights, overheads, camera and he just dropped his head in embarrassment, "the hero would still be me..."

  That is how I would expect him to act. When I saw him he tried to tell a joke but he wasn't very good at it. He was better at playing music than talking to the audience. My uncle told me he once met Gordon in a bar and spent some time talking with him. He said he was a nice guy but pretty boring to talk to.

  I wanted to get a Mac this this time Chrissy but I couldn't convince my wife to switch. I may have to get one on my own to try. The reason I would like to switch is we do so much finacial stuff online these days with 401k, IRAs, credit union and banking and there is always the chance that someone is trying to get your info. You don't have the virus and spy problems with the Mac like you have with the PC.

  You don't have to worry about what to get them for Christmas

  If you smoke you don't have to worry about them bumming cigarettes from you.

  They are good for the liqueur industry.

  They don't clog up the golf course on Sat and Sun mornings

  They are good for donut shops

  I never really considered Carol King as folk but I think Tapestry was one of the best albums ever.

  Back to Gordon Lightfoot. The Canadian Rail Road Trilogy song by Gordon is one of my favorite songs also Early Morning Rain and the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzjerald. I got to see him once in Anaheim, he was very good.

  Does Neil Young qualify as folk? Definately one of the greatest song writers ever.

  A little trivia on Bob Dylan. Both Gordon Lightfoot and Jimmy Hendrix didn't want to sing because they felt they couldn't sing well. Once the heard Dylan sing they thought if he could get up there and sing with his voice so could they. Neil Young was also heavily influenced by Dylan. Dylan irritated a lot of people when he went electric. Neil thought it was great that Dylan didn't get stuck in rut musically. It influenced his approach to music. And to get further off the subject the other big musical influence in Neil's early years were the Rolling Stones.

  I still enjoy listening to Bob Dylan's older stuff but does anyone else in here agree with me that the older he gets the more he sounds like Popeye when he sings?

  A lot of people lack confidence when starting a new job. After the first week it seems like you have been there for every. I say go for it. You'll do fine. If you don't like it you can alway quit. The worst part work to me is finding a job. I hate the whole process of resume's interviews, more interviews then they finally want to hire you a month after you have already found another place to work. Taking the job offered to you would eliminate all of that BS.

  when i was new to message board posting, i once got a little to involved with the people and found myself sucked into debate and people getting all grouped up in support of one another.

  yet, i had never met anyone on the message board.

  until one day, one of the people who debated me the most mentioned where he worked and it was in a town about two hours away.

  Your house looks like a fine house to me Ms Horrible. But killing people in the shower is always a bad idea.

  Here is my idea of a great looking house.
