our niece, irene, who posts here as inky, sent me an email.
her 27 year old son is getting married in two weeks, and she posted a few days ago about how he didn't invite her to his wedding.. she told me i can post it as she doesn't want to read it again.. "dear mom.
i've needed to write this letter to you for some time now.
That was perhaps the most cruel letter I've ever read. Bruce Springsteen said (although Johnny Cash's version is better)
"If a man turns his back on his family, he ain't no good"
Its amazing how people who are considered "spiritual" are the most cocky, condescending know it alls you could ever meet. Its hard, but be the better person. Karma is a funny thing (if I believed in that sort of thing)
i think they've been brave and attempted something different than before.
nice use of effects (the anorak coming out in me).
i think there are some exellent songs on it but not consistent enough for a classic album but good music with good soul.
Being that my wife and I are die hard Sinead fans, I absolutely love it. I'd give it an 8 out of 10, its probably my fav by them....I'm not too fond of their early ones (the critically acclaimed ones) which is odd, cause I love early Tricky.
so far for album of the year 2003 is the white stripes "elephant".
using vintage instaments and laying them down on an old 8 track give this album an old school flavor.
with the energy of the buzzcocks with an instamental sound of vintage stones
I've been wondering about that whirlwind heat album, it got some pretty bad reviews....especially at pitchforkmedia - an indie snob website.....i'll have to pick that up.....my favorite new album (until next week when Grandaddy, Fountains of Wayne, and Radiohead come out) is Jewel's new one. Amazing!

i know it sounds impossible and probaly is.. but with the constant scandals, and all the info available, do you see the watchtower collapsing in our lifetime (from now to 2053) ?????????.
i guess anything is possible.
HA! The WTS will never fall. My mom and dad are in their late 40's and will never leave. There are many many many more like that and younger people with the same mindset are coming in every day. Get real! I'm w/ Mulan!
district assembly 5/24/03 3:40 pm "beware of the voice of strangers".. 1) counterfeit words: beware of those using "counterfeit words".
2) flirting: young ones need to avoid being lured into relationships with un-believers.. 3) you trust your christian parents...listen to them.
you also trust those taking the lead among you..such as elders.
When I was 20 or so it started to really seem like a cult to me...the more they said not to read apostate material, the more i wanted to. Here I am at almost 26, free of the WTS! More talks like this and there will more people leaving!
looks like in conjunction with my post yesterday about the farm putting up some new printing presses, the brooklyn branch is starting to sell off some of its property!
a mass exodus may have begun upstate.
the wt media says this:.
hmmm..shouldn't they give any profit back to the people who contribute? otherwise, they sure are gonna make JESUS mad if you believe that sort of thing.
name the things you don't miss about going to a dc!
---getting there so early and then find that the "servants" have saved all the good seats
---not having time to make a decent lunch and getting admonished about not buying from nearby vendors.
I second that motion, this is my 2nd summer without VET STADIUM and I don't miss it at all!

how does saturday, august 2 work for everyone?
same place, my little ol' house in edmonds, washington.. everyone is welcome...i mean that.. rachel
me, michalina and "the belly" will be there!
okay, i want all the help i can get on this one, so fire away with your answers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anything that i say that is wrong, please point it out to me.. the governing body started roughly in 1971, with seven members, and then over the years increased it to 11 members,.
so how many people have served on the governing body from the beginning to now ????
It always amused me to no end that according to the WTS God apparently favors the United States and the white man.

For me personally, I'm not too fond of when Blur tries to experiment...i love Modern Life is Rubbish, Parklife, and The Great Escape. Everything else sounds like they are trying too hard. If you love those 3 albums like I do, you HAVE to check out these bands:
The Field Mice
Television Personalities
O-Level
Strangelove
