disgusting!.
Here's the thing: These devout JW parents want their kids to grow up JW and remain JW throughout their lives. They sincerely believe is the best way for their children to live their lives.
DY:
If these JW parents are as "devout" as they say, they wouldn't even have children to begin with "deep into the conclusion of the system of things" when "armageddon could come at any time".

enlarge the picture.
music: both rap and heavy metal music have recently come under increasing fire for similar content problems.
songs that glorify the sexual degradation and abuse of women, violence and hatred toward various races and policemen, and even satanism have all been found among rap and heavy metal records.
I remember reading an awake article that was making reference to his song Darling Nikki when the Purple Rain album came out, discussing the immorality of the music back then but I don't remember the date of the magazine.

"it’s official: secretary of the treasury jack lew has announced that abolitionist harriet tubman will replace president andrew jackson on the $20 bill.
and, while jackson will still reportedly remain on the reverse side of the bill, the move is nonetheless a momentous one.. .
"naturally there are many people who will complain about this decision, but since tubman’s legacy leading slaves to freedom through the underground railroad is beyond reproach, these critics will most likely turn to defending jackson.
Ironic that a corporation like The Federal Reserve that exists to enslave everybody in America would put a former slave who turned into an antislavery activist on their currency.

"from 1955 till present, popular music has declined to the point where it is now consistently "stupid" and homogenous.
".
When you think about the nominees for the Grammy song of the year in 1971 choices being Let It Be by the The Beatles, Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, Close To You by The Carpenters, Everything Is Beatiful by Ray Stevens and Fire And Rain by the James Taylor and think about the songs released today there is no comparison to the music now and the music back then.

it's the forum's 16th birthday today!.
amazing that not only have we lasted so long but we're still thriving and growing.. thanks to all the people and often colorful characters who've contributed to the site over the years.
some are still here with us, some have since moved on, but all have touched each others lives in some way along our different journeys.. .
I replied to one post here 11 years ago and if I'd known I'd still be here 11 years later I probably would have taken more time to pick a different screenname.
Met wonderful people here online and offline over the years. I lurk more than post now but it's always good to see a lot of the people still here over the years that have been here as long as I.
Happy Birthday JWD and thanks Simon for all you do!

they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

my favorite quotations:.
you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.. don’t think of cost.
