  Sometimes, we just forget, (both the one posting, and his/her readers), that written communication requires a little more work when contraversial subjects, (such as the one's dedpoet mentioned), are being discussed. Myself included. Without the benefits of tone of voice, and facial expression, a blunt opinionated comment, can often make someone appear arrogant, even mean. Junction Guy brought up a good point about people being different "on the phone". In most cases, the "written" version of these posters hardly indicates the kind of people they really are.

  i was talking to my trying-to-exit-the-cult fraternal twin brother yesterday about life, the jehovah's witness cult, and our jw parents.. he repeated, calmly and succintly, that he hates our parents.

  i could not argue with him.

  i used to, being a parent myself.

  NGB, I know this dosen't help much, but if nothing else, remember that words like that, (from your parents), only validate the stand you made. They are nutcases, not you.

  Was he on tour with Rod Stewart in '75? Rod sang lead in Beck's band in the late '60s, (before Faces), but I was unware of anything after that.

  What are these 'ceedees' you people speak of???

  Ah, that sounds like a vinylphile to me....

  I use a direct drive turntable, therefore I never encounter these problems.

  I second that. Don't waste your money on a belt drive table. Unless you are willing to spend mega bucks for the good ones. A well designed direct drive unit, such as a Technics 1200, or Denon can be had for about $500, (US), and will outlast anything else in your stereo. This is also very important, if you plan to keep spining vinyl, as it probably won't be too long before you won't be able to buy a TT.

  I have a Speakerphone. The tones come through when you dial loud and clear when dialing.

  The tones are there. I can even hear the three 0's at the end. I don't remember the whole number, but it is something like 718-xxx-6000.

  My Spiritual Awakening has turned to........

  by AK - Jeff in

  2. experiences

  general apathy about religion.. i don't know precisely when it happened.

  but at some point i began to stop needing anything 'organized' in my life religiously.

  not too long ago - as attested to by multiple threads i started here - i was still wishing to replace the ritual of religion at the kingdom hall with some other church.

  I know what you mean, Jeff. I went through many changes very quickly after leaving the WTS, in an attempt to "figure it all out". What I learned, is no one has the truth cornered, when it comes to these things. I consider myself more of a rationalist these days, with no religious or non-religious connotations attached to the meaning of the term. It's a very good thing...

  That was the elcaset. I've never seen one IRL, but apparently the quality is excellent. If I ever see one, I will buy it (failing that, I'll get one off ebay). You're correct, it was Sony's attempt at providing R2R quality sound in a compact cartridge

  Thanks, Nosferatu. I couldn't remember that for the life of me. I'll have to look those up.
