87What's the most thought-provoking novel you've ever read?
by lucky ini'd have to say for me that it was ayn rand's the fountainhead.
even though i don't agree with a lot of her philosophy, it definitely made me stumble around in a thought-induced haze for a few weeks after reading it.

WHO IS JOHN GALT? (A survey on Ayn Rand)
by Terry insince its publication in 1957, atlas shrugged has sold more than five million copies.
perhaps a measure of the book's continuing influence may be estimated from the results of a survey conducted jointly by the library of congress and book-of-the-month club in 1991. the survey asked readers which books had made a difference in people's lives.
the results found atlas shrugged placing second only to the bible.

I read "Atlas Shrugged" about 15 years ago. Rand's fiction was just a springboard to get her philosophy of objectivism noticed and center-stage to the general public. I've seen her in a number of interviews and debates, and she always sent her opponents packing. Her ideas about masculinity and femininity were groundbreaking, and still are to this day.
"My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." Ayn Rand

Sickassness. That's a good word. This is just another lame attempt to filter and dilute

splinter groups
by carla ini just received some stuff from macgregor ministries and in a booklet -how to identify a cult- there is a listing of cults.
i found it interesting that there a quite a number of splinter groups from jw's.
as usually jw's boast about 'unity' and husband is always going on about how 'they don't have all these other denominations'.

I absolutely agree with you, Zen. I meant to say that the Dubs don't use the pronunciation considered to be most proper.

I've always believed that was the most hypocritical belief of the Dubs. They claim that it is of the utmost importance to use God's proper name, to distinguish him from all other gods, yet they won't use the proper pronunciation

Leolaia, I think Leia said she remembered her mother because she was adopted and was remembering her adoptive mother. She didn't realize that she was a Skywalker until Luke told her that she was his sister towards the end of ROTJ. Remember, her name was Leia Organa.

Englishman, I agree with Evil, and that might just be a first. But, when you buy the boxed set, make sure to get it on DVD or VHS, not Beta. DVDs are these little chrome disks that look like CDs. Do you know what CDs are? And VHS is like a magical cassette tape with moving pictures.

Hey tijkmo (or as I like to call you, Numbnuts), my first post was to tell Goodgirl the artist who sang the songs she liked, as well as to put my two cents in. Got it? Good. Next time, read a little more carefully.
