  I got to the part where he said "and it's coming fast, and don't wait until 1975, the doors are going to be shut then". I couldn't stomach any more.

  CoCo:

  I had to memorize that in high school English class. In drama class I had to memorize this:

  Hamlet, Act II, Scene II - Advice to Players

  Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounc'd it to you, trippingly on the tongue, but if you mouth it, as many of our players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently, for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.

  Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things . . . nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.
  William Shakespeare
  Macbeth 2. 3

  the above is one of my fav quotes by Shakespeare and one of my favorite plays by him was "Much Ado About Nothing" though I haven't read it or seen it performed in years.

  Voting - what is the current position?

  by insearchoftruth in

  my wife recently became a citizen and when she was registered to vote, she was very excited....now she is with the mindset that though earthly governments are important due to keeping some semblance of order, voting only brings one farther from jehovah because it makes one more of this world....what is the current view on voting, is it one of those things that is stated to be a matter of conscience, but one is strongly frowned upon if they actually make a decision to do it?

  What if a Christian woman’s unbelieving husband insists that she present herself to vote? Well, she is subject to her husband, just as Christians are subject to the superior authorities. (Ephesians 5:22; 1 Peter 2:13-17) If she obeys her husband and goes to the polling booth, that is her personal decision. No one should criticize her.—Compare Romans 14:4.

  so much for their "obeying god as ruler rather than men"

  Singer Songwriters who should be household names....

  2. entertainment

  over the decades musicians rise and fall like a spring wind.

  some stay where they should never be, some never are where they should be; such is the roulette of time.

  this thread is dedicated to singer songwriters who influence the rest of the best, but are seldom known - 'gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars...' .

  The CO asked for more contributions

  it looks like the wt is running out of money fast.

  few weeks ago we had the co visit and he told us in the ms and elders meeting that he had never seen a letter from the gb like this one, but then he went ahead and read it.

  the letter basically said: "the contributions are down and there is more people in the congregation.

  This was their attitude in the past.

  'Zion's Watch Tower' has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: 'All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,' fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication."

  his mix of blues, jazz, rock & roll with great musicians playing uncommon instruments seen in a rock band - make his music all the more interesting !

  here are some of my favorite cd's and songs by him and his band .
