Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll

Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock n' roll

Still like that old time rock n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll

Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock n' roll

Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll
Still like old time rock n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll

Invitation to the Memorial...

friends

just looked at e-mail....rather than phone and say it, i get an e-mail from my mother:hello my beautiful dolls,.

please don't get angry.

i'm letting you know in case you may have remotely considered attending this beautiful occasion with your family.. .

As I was reading your post, a couple of scriptures came to mind that I wanted to share:

Instead of just quoting Scripture, (ie. What some other MAN wrote), can't you just write a reply in your own words. Scriptures always have and will continue to be taken out of context so they can be twisted to fit whatever situation desired. How do we really know that ALL Scripture is inspired by God. Because it has been included in the version of the Bible by some MEN from long ago?

Anyway Teeny, I understand what you are going through and support you 100% as well. I know you are the type of person who knows how to see through BS

Thoughts on The Apostle Paul

it's early on a saturday morning and i really couldn't sleep.

so, i'm just rambling on right now.

i got to thinking, are many of the divisions in christianity caused by the writings of the apostle paul?

El Kabong

It's been a while since I actually studied anything in the Bible. But, wasn't there a story about Paul preaching in an upper room somewhere for many hours? Someone dosed off while sitting on a window sill, fell out of the window and died. Didn't Paul ressurect him? (CPR perhaps????) (If it wasn't Paul, then I apologize, It really has been a while and I'm going on what little brain cells I have left ) Makes me glad that there are typically no windows at the Kingdom Halls.

Anyway, I agree that Paul did write a lot of Opinion. But, his letters are regarded as Scripture, and as we all know..."All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight". (Wow...I guess I didn't lose as many brain cells as I thought!!). And, BTW, didn't Paul write THAT as well (2 Tim. 3:16????). So, because his letters are part of the Holy Scriptures, his words therefore are shall we say Gospel. How do we really know if Pauls letters were actually inspired by God? Because we were told by the religions of the world? Just like JW's believe that Jehovah communicates through his "unique fine channel which He uses to warn and to speak".

It just got me thinking, Is it God's word that is being taught by Christianity, or is it Man's?

For example, The whole disfellowshipping and shunning issue is based soley on Paul's writings. Also other issues such as speaking in tounges, or a women's place in the ministry are just some more examples of the writings of Paul that are still causing controversy today. It seems to me that most of the rules and regulations in the New Testament can be found among Pauls letters. These are just examples from the top of my head.

I believe that Jesus taught us to "Do unto others" and "Love thy Neighbor" (Sorry, I love the english in the King James version). After Jesus' death and Christianity started growing in numbers, Fanatics, no doubt, starting teaching their own interpretation of Jesus's teachings. I'm just wondering, are Christians really following the words and actions of Christ, or are they basing their life on the writings of some religious fanatic who's writings were included in the Bible by other fanatics? The more rules, the more control over the people.

i need someplace to vent, so excuse me but i am very angry at the moment.

as most of you know, my father in law committed suicide last sunday (the 16th).

his death hit nina hard, but i've discovered this week that my sweet little kitten of a wife has the heart of a lion.

(((Big Tex)))

I'm very sorry for your loss. It never fails to amaze me that an organization which boasts "Christ our Exemplar" could make so many people act in such an Un Christ-like way. I understand your anger. I'm glad that you are able to vent in a place like this among friends.

Take care

I saw a reply by Francois on another thread asking what the heck is Marmite. We Americans with our (a-hem) "refined tastes" really don't eat this stuff. Most Americans really never heard of the stuff. I for one never heard of it until I came to this forum and heard my English Brothers and Sisters talk about Marmite, and our Brothers and Sisters from Austrailia talk about Vegemite. (SP?)

So, for all us Americans who don't know what the heck Marmite is, Here is a web page devoted to the stuff.

I for one will be willing to try some. I just don't know where to get some in the States.

What would you do for money?

by whyhideit in

i have seen my fair share of adult movies and i must say, people will do a lot on camera for money.

i have seen woman degrade themselves to levels that i can not believe.

nothing is left private and no dignity remains.
