i just discovered how good guns n' roses are.
i was listening to a bunch of their songs and i can't believe they wrote so many good songs.
i was a quite a head banger before i became a witness and after joining i avoided a lot of heavy metal rock and a lot of worldly music in general.
Axl's new band "Chinese Democracy" is rumored to release it's long awaited CD this November 2006. Production costs for this new album is said to be around $15 million making it the most expensive recording ever.
The band is currently playing a summer tour in Europe to promote the album. Lots of poor quality amature video of the tour on www.youtube.com.

While the camera showed the hopelessness of the forgotten on the streets, a sultry singer sings: "fade away, fade .... fade away, fade... life shine down on me, shine down on me... but, don't fade away..."
Although, it was just a clip of this song...and the subject was homeless people. Something pierced me in my heart. I felt a kinship with this lost, thrown away people. A man with Two master's degrees, forgotten. Another man who had lived through two hurricanes including katrina, homeless.
Some of these people were on the streets because of poor choices they had made in their lives. Others, because of poor choices that had been made for them. Still others were victims of circumstance.
I felt a kinship with these people. This community of forgotten, in-between-worlds people. People that many of the real world wish would just fade away. If we don't look at them, they do not exist.
It's a far stretch to say that I, who am blessed, know what it is like to forgotten, in-between...homeless. But, I know what it feels like to be hopeless, forgotten, invisible.
I chose to leave my religious community of my own free will. I did not know what awaited me on the outside. But, I felt...anything would be better than living a lie. I chose to fade away from being a Jehovah's Witness. To fade away from the lifestyle. To fade away from the beliefs. I chose to fade so that I could keep my family. So, that I could keep my reputation. So I would not suffer shame.
But, in choosing to fade away from my religion, I also faded away from life. I could very well be sleeping outdoors on a cardboard box under the eaves of a boarded up storefront. The passers-by not even giving me a glance. Treated by my former friends as diseased ridden, worthy of being quarantined or better yet, exterminated.
The song keeps repeating in my head..."fade away, fade .... fade away, fade... life shine down on me, shine down on me... but, don't fade away..."
Reminding me that even though life seems to have left...it is still there for the taking.

If you want to hear the clip of the song...click on track 6:
a few days ago i read a post the listed wt references that stated man was created in god's imge but woman wassn't.

i am unable to find the post and i need the references to convince my wife of this sexist wt teaching.
i get upset very fast, if a product i use since years gets discontinued.
gee, if the weatherman says it's 75 degrees outside and i know it's 80, i'll phone him and tell him to get a better thermometer or put glasses on.
often i feel like writting to the mayor and ask him what is he waiting for to pave the streets of the whole city.
JH, looks like you need a "calm me down" pill.
...or maybe you should talk to OFG and ask him for a big fatty.
1. why the hell do you think i care?.
2. gross, get rid of it!
3. keep it.. 4. eh?
<-----this guy is hot. definitely makes an apostababe have to change her panties.
oops lets try again.
i've been wanting to ask people this for awhile.
what would your best guess be as to who you might have been in a past life?
i am not sure how to handle this and don't want to do something rude, or stupid, or both.
i was seeing this guy (non-jw) for a few months.
his friends are absolutely fabulous.
OFG, you womanizer!!! Stop toying with me. I know you have the hots for Ms. Whip. And Crumpet. And about a hundred other beautiful women on this board.OK but seriously, thanks for making me smile and blush, you flirt!
I'm not womanizing... It's first come first serve.... and no one has been served yet... But your right I'm still waiting to hear from Ms.Whip
OFG, you beautiful, naughty, nice man. Keep me in mind if Ms. Whip breaks your heart. Or if she doesn't.
All this shameless flirting...You'd think this board was full of Apostates or something!! GG/BG is right OFG is naughty in 100's of ways lol. Jehovah help the woman (or women) that tames that wild man.
as weird as i may be perceived, i do believe you can catch spirit entities on film.
and the more you believe in them the more you get on your pictures.
they are attracted to frovility, laughing, children, parties, families...and i take pictures at every function i go to and they arent always there.
Since the dawning of digital and not film, less and less have appeared.
I believe the opposite to be true. Because digital cameras are so easy and can take so many pictures, tens of thousands of orbs have been captured on digital film. When digital cameras first came out they were very low res and some orbs were caused by the low pixilation and/or low lighting. Orbs are caused by numerous natural reasons like lens flares, moisture, dust etc. You can try an experiment yourself, get an old rug or blanket and shake it in the room. Now take some digital pictures around the room you are sure to pick up an "orb" Try taking pictures outside on a rainy or snowy day... also, hundreds of orbs.
Now for real orbs. Today our cameras are so high res they are equal to film. If you can rule out dust, humidity, rain, fog, snow, lens flare, flash returns etc. You are closer to real orbs. Look for continuity in the orbs, also glowing extremities, faces in the orbs, colors, movement. Are these orbs also captured on other cameras, camcorders at the same time? Do the orbs seem to follow certain people? Does the same orb appear in a different area of the room in another picture? Were there any other anomolies present while the picture of the orb was taken? Strange feelings, sounds, temperatures? Do the orbs appear blurred or have a streaming light tail as if they were flying across the room?
I have captured hundreds of orbs on film. Most of these orbs were from natural causes ie. dust & moisture. A few orbs, I could not explain. Once, while taking digital photographs, I heard a voice where no one was standing. I immediately took a picture of the place I heard the sound come from. I captured an orb. I also captured many orbs inside of an old church I went in using a 35mm and a digital camera. These orbs appeared in different pictures, in different places in the church with different cameras.
