  BA . . interesting comment, you are obviously a big PF fan . .

  I was not a "huge" pf fan before, and now I am listening to them more with the goal of learning some of the music.

  Now, I "AM" a huge Hendrix and SRV fan . . and I take the same stance towards "alternate" renditions/covers of Hendrix and SRV stuff that you did with this piece that inspired me . . .

  I learned something already . . I "WILL" celebrate anyone discovering SRV or Hendrix because of another atists alternate take on the original . . .

  Thanks BA!!

  Rock on, peace, out

  This vid is Van Morrison and Roger Waters doing the Pink Floyd song "Comfortably Numb". I first heard this version when I watched the movie "The Departed"

  It inspired me to learn some floyd stuff. I thought I was a pretty good guitar player till Roger Waters and David Gilmour showed me where my limits are . . . but I'm working hard to get to the next level.

  Just wanted to share this song, I thought Van really brought ALOT to the table in this performance . . .

  Enjoy!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dc45zHdfRg

  BTW . . .Wasn't Van raised in the Borg??

  A gradual decline or sudden collapse for the WTS?

  many of us believe the days of the watchower society may be numbered.

  they are receiving an unprecedented amount of well deserved negative publicity.

  however, they are still experiencing modest growth.

  One of those rare films that did justice to the book.

  Mr King has moments of brilliance.

  It is very foreign to me!

  now there is an operative phrase . .

  truthsearcher, I respect where you are coming from but you are coming across to me as very judgemental. I have walked in Oompa's shoes, have you?

  Have you ever heard this little saying "I don't drink and I don't chew, and I don't go with girls that do?" That is the culture that I was raised in.

  You kinda disqualified yourself from having any worthwhile input to this thread with that comment . . dontcha think. your comment comes across as condescending.

  The LAST thing Oompa needs is a bunch of bible verses up in his face. He needs understanding, empathy and support.

  Peace Out

  Oomp, I want to add that Changeling has a good point, your wife is doing what she thinks is best, god bless her. Keep in mind that her mind is clouded by the cult mindset . . she obviously cares for you. That is a blessing in and of itself dude.

  Once I put it all beyond the periphery of my life, I was able to get the booze out of the centre.

  Unless his parents are VERY LIBERAL JW's . . (not many of those) . . . . The other posters speak the truth.

  I wish the best for you and your boyfriend and child.

  But you never know, a good slap in the face from reality has had positive effects on some JW's.

  Stick around, we have lots of folks more qualified than I to offer you advice.

  Oh, and welcome to our little forum.
