Music-related jw urban myths

by rebel8 in

i was researching a few....whew...did they ever bother to *think for themselves* or did they just believe every demon-related rumor they heard?

(rhetorical question).

stevie nicks was a witch.

Malcolm and Angus Young developed the idea for the band's name after their older sister, Margaret Young, saw the initials "AC/DC" on a sewing machine. [ 16 ] "AC/DC" is an abbreviation meaning "alternating current/direct current" electricity. The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy, power-driven performances, and a love for their music. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] [ 18 ] "AC/DC" is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band are popularly known as "Acca Dacca" in Australia. [ 19 ] [ 20 ]

Jimi Hendrix was definitely a no no, as he was quoted as saying he channelled his music..Must be demons. More likely he was being modest and not taking the glory for his extraordinary talent.

Also I always thought ACDC was more to do with electrical power... As in FULL POWER!!!

are your activities a happy and a positive one?

do you care to share some thoughts on having an exciting life?

if you do not have a happy life, are you making any plans in making your life exciting?.

The first 10 yrs after leaving the wt, I spent catching up 20 yrs wasted in a paranoid cult. It was a wild ride!!! Now I continue travelling overseas every 6 months and get to music festivals when I can (went to one last weekend) but have cut the more dangerous parts out. Actually, I just walked in from dancing around a fire to loud music with good friends next door. To be honest, I need some excitement in my life,as it keeps me young in my spirit. That is why being a jw nearly killed me. I was suffocating in the mediocrity.

Over 40 Lady and want a tatoo, What do you think?

i've always liked tatoos and disagreed with the wt's stand on them.

i just turned 42 on may 14 and think its about time i get one.

nothing drastic, just a small lilly flower on my left shoulder.

I have umm one, two...six tatts. All put in places that seemed right for the particular design. All are very personal and four were designed by me. I got my last a month ago and I am 55. It is to commemorate a Hindu ceremoney I did in Bali for my dead mother a few days before the tatt. Wrinkles will have no effect on what these tatts symbolise. They were not done for others to admire or approve of.

Go for it!

I could happily have this song played at my funeral. So sad that Iz died so young himself

Hurt my back today gardening and I think the Chiropractor made it worse

by troubled mind in

i had been doing yard work all day and then i went to plant a rose bush for my dad .....when i stepped down on the shovel my lower back went out !

omg it hurt ....i couldn't straighten completely up afterwards .

so i went to see the chiro ,he used an activator on my back and now the pain is worse !

doofdaddy

I have experienced a ruptured disc in the lower back. It taught me that good health is paramount. It also taught me to support myself... Try an osteopath, far less violent in action than a chiro...

A Dedication to Tupac Shakur

september 13th, 1996 - september 13th, 2002.. today marks the 6 year anniversary of tupac's death.. i remember it like it was yesterday.. that was the only instance in which a celebrity died that when i heard of his passing, i wept.. often misinterpreted and misunderstood, he was one of the most controversial, passionate, influential, and powerful artists of a generation.

my generation.. in my opinion the greatest artist of the era, and many share my opinion.

undoubtedly a legend in his own time.. a poet, lyricist, political and social activist, like most shining stars that illuminate so brightly that they blind all who glare at it.. he was snuffed out at a young age.. and far too soon.. a conflicted soul, the passion, suffering, and desire for change in this world was ever present in his lyrics, and no current artist has been able to match that power of expression.. many theories abound as to what really happened that fateful night in las vegas.. the recent article in the la times proposes that his archrival, christopher wallace, aka the notorious b.i.g., of bad boy records, with whom he had an ongoing feud at the time, was directly responsible for his murder.. others believe that suge knight was the mastermind behind the offense.. yet others think that he is still alive, for indeed many coincidences and gaping holes in facts surround his shooting and autopsy.. i could delve into theories and my own opinions of what happened... but i do not wish to detract from the purpose of this post.. some say music is food for the soul, and can aid someone in getting through troubled times in their lives or in coping with stress and depression.

Let's just respect his legacy. I am a youth worker and he nailed the 90's and early 2000's. I lost a few young men in the turmoil that he spoke of. When I hear his songs, I shed a private tear for those lost souls who couldn't live in this mad world...
