Is practicing Capoeira wrong/bad/discouraged by Jehovah's Witnesses?
by aikichristian inmy girlfriend used to be an avid capoeira practicioner for over year.
she has reaped many benefits from it: increased physical fitness, flexibility, some self-defense skills, and stress-relief.
she enjoyed it.. unfortunately, an article came out in the spanish version of the "watchtower" ("atalaya" in spanish) essentially saying that capoeira should not be practiced because it has some spirituality stuff in it that was wrong.

Following the same "logic":
A loyal JW would not wear hats or other forrms of "headwear"- because witches also wear hats
A loyal JW would not use brooms- because witches also use brooms
A loyal JW would not use vacuum cleaners- because vacuum cleaners are the anti-typical, modern-day, fulfillment of brooms!
BA- Yeeeeeeeeeeee-hawwwwwwww!

Something creepy just happened here.........................
by Warlock inas some of you know, my office is a converted garage.
the day has been fairly still here, and all of a sudden the front door started shaking like someone was trying to open it, as if it was locked.
when i heard it start to shake i looked up and the door was moving as if someone was trying to get in.

Well, after all, you ARE:
1. a man who practices the black arts; a male witch; sorcerer.
2. a fortuneteller or conjurer.
Aren't you now, Warlock???
BA- Just kidding
PS- Maybe an explosion nearby??

Will I go to hell?
by Anony-Mouse ina freind of mine (over the internet) has been debating with me about whether or not i will go to hell.
being the great freind he is, he says i am absolutely bound for hell, simply because i don't believe in god anymore.
john 3:16,17 says something or other about only people believing will be saved or somesuch.

Songs that make you cry...
by El Kabong ini've been kind of sad the past few days for several reasons, but, there are certain songs that just cause the tears to flow whenever i hear them (and especially alone).
only time by enya.
i know that this song is often linked to the sept 11 attacks, but it really is just so hauntingly beautiful.

Hands-down, the only one that pretty much consistently causes involuntary tear duct action:

never even heard of burritos and donuts at the assemblies! man what a jip.
Yes, I still remember stocking up on the burritos while in the food line. "I'll need ten burritos" I'd say, and then give two to my wife, and one each to my two children. Mmmm, burritos!!
The only problem was that we had to wash them down by "Drinking the Kool-Aid"!!!!!!

His energy bill is $0.00
by Brother Apostate ini just read about a guy in nj who lives in the nation's first solar-hydrogen house.
the technology this civil engineer has been able to string together solar panels, a hydrogen fuel cell, storage tanks, and a piece of equipment called an electrolyzer provides electricity to his home year-round, even on the cloudiest of winter days:.

Top Hat,
It's never too late to get in or too early to get out- it's just a matter of how much you're willing to gamble!
It does look as if solar technology may finally become affordable.
I'd like to see 1/100 (or more, preferably) of the research $ being spent on how much humans cause Global Warming go into real research of the pros and cons of these alternative energy sources, especially bio-diesel and ethanol.
My biggest concern is that the agricultural practices of last century and this century are not very green at all, and, ironically, heavy production of plant-based alternatives and their refinement may have a very negative impact on the environment.

Thank you all for posting your comments. But it seems now I am more confused than before, because apparently there is no way to tell which version of the Bible is the right one. It reminds me of what I read at Revelation 22:18-19.
There is no "right one", BFD. I suggest you read numerous versions of your choosing, along with commentaries, concordances, etc, to develop your understanding. It is hard work, not at all like sitting in a meeting having "da truf" force fed to you. It may take months or years of research to come to your conclusions, which may change numerous times as you continue your studies. I find that praying for God's Holy Spirit to help me understand what I read helps.
If people have added to and taken away from the original text, what's the real message? Regardless, I think I will continue reading at my own pace and try and come to some sort of conclusion. Or is this an exersise in futility?
Overall, I look at the "big picture". Is the "correct" interpretation of every Scripture really neccessary? Most Scripture, imo, is non-essential for salvation. Much is prophecy, principle, geneology, opinion, history, etc. The abilty to discern what is and what is not important to your research goal is the key. It is never an exercise in futility, although you may think so at times if you are looking for black and white answers that just aren't there.
BA- Hope that helps you, Bro.
PS- Thanks for the "props"!
