I'm really with Leolaia on this one, but if I must choose, In the Light, from Physical Graffiti, would certainly qualify.

when i had a thread a few months ago on your favorite all time groups.
i believe pink floyd finished very high in the ratings.
so, considering there are many pink floyd fans out there, including myself, what is your all time favorite pink floyd song ?
Dogs. Or just about anything from Animals.

i joined this forum very recently, and have already posted some comments in reply to given threads.. you may want to know that .
- i am living in the e.u.
s. - i was raised as a jw since the age of 2.
Welcome, Nick! Great post!

an open letter to the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.
dear sirs -.
most likely you and your pundits follow carefully this site and others like it on the internet.
Nice letter, Jeff!
I don't know that it will see the light of day in Brooklyn, (I'm actually looking at the awful place as I type this...), but if it helps the odd lurker here or there, it did it's job.

i've heard this been said before that when you have had loads to drink and when your inhibitions are temporarily removed then the real you is exposed.
i.e:.
some people when they've got a skinfull they might start talking about money & bragg about personal financial achievements and how much more money they're going to earn.. some people after a few beers suddenly think they're rocky balboa and think they can take the world on.. others after sinking some g & t's might turn into a crazed sexual tyrannosaurus!!.
Alcohol has the tendency to amplify traits, both good and bad. For example, if a person is prone to anger when sober, you can expect he/she to be a real ass when drunk. At the same time, a "fun" drunk, is normally someone who is already fairly easy going anyway.

Had a very quick fade, (more like sent the plane into the ground, than just fell off the radar)....
Overall, it was very easy. I was even able to keep the one true jw friend that I had.

i recently got hold of an original copy of "millions now living will never die" .
with a bit of help this is now a 32 mb, high quality scanned pdf.
the text is completely searchable and bookmarked.
Thank you, jwfacts.
This is a good one to have.

please, please remember i am asking a question, not stating a fact.. .
there appears to be many advantages to fading out of the 'truth' as opposed to a full blown "i don't believe it and i'm out of here regardless of consequences'' policy.. reading others postings and experiences here and my own local experiences i can truly see why many do so.
i remember during the later stages of my still attending meetings talking to a couple who had stopped going to meetings a few years before.
I was fortunate enough not to really require an all out "fade". Mine lasted only a few months, and the hints, (from me), came quickly and progressively.
This is not the case, for many, if not most ex-jws. If I learned one thing after leaving, it's that moral absolutes, (even with good principles, such as honesty), don't really exist. The principles behind them do, (it is generally good to be honest), and it is good to follow them. However, there is a fine line between being morally upright, in terms of honesty, and being fanatical, in terms of honesty's definition. The way I look at this, is like this, if the end result causes more hurt, (to self, others, etc), then maybe the best route is to keep the peace, and quietly fade, even if it involves a level of deception.
How far should one go, is anyones guess. Personally, I find it a bit hard to accept those who continue to "play the game", as they would as if a full-fledged dub, (i.e. still an elder, still giving talks, still in FS). But even then, who am I to have an opinion about their situation. I don't know the how's and why's, for their so doing.

mine is a hamburger cooked medium well with fresh home grown tomato, lettuce, purple onion, mustard and mayo...no ketchup...kosher pickle on the side.. the bun must be toasted and preferably either sesame seed or poppy seed.
u-m-m-m.
Based on my northern NJ roots:
Hamburger: White Mana, (The one with one "n" in Hackensack, not the 2 "n" version in Jersey City).
Hot Dog: An "All the Way" dog, (Chili sauce, minced onions, mustard), from The Hot Grill in Clifton. Add a side with fries with cheese and brown gravy...
This is making me want to go for the two hour drive north...

mine was an old fiat 127, i bought it 1983 and it was at least fifteen years old then!
the seats were vinyl and there were no rear seatbelts so i could send my girlfriend and her sister flying with each bend in the road!
it wouldn't go above 55mph and was rattling like rollercoaster when it finally got there.. the rear window fell out and it finally croaked in puff of blue/black smoke.
'78 Nova. 250 I-6. Yes, it was the two door version...Floors were rotted out, but the damn thing wouldn't die.
