the nameless one heard last night that some rapper name jam master jay died.
i not too crazy about rap.
but the nameless one regret the loss of life.
Wow sorry to hear that. I saw him just a few months ago. DMC and Kid Rock were the opening acts at an AEROSMITH concert I was at. The Jam-Master will be missed. Any idea who killed him or why?

robert fripp.
guitar, soundscapes.
mellotron adrian belew.
For a number of years we have had an annual combo guitar show and concert at a university near where I live. We have had some pretty famous guitarist such as Peter Frampton who by the way is wonderful live. As I recall some years back we were fortunate enough to have had Fripp and one of the other original members of Crimson (cant remember which one) and did the show with several members of the Saturday Night Live band. When they did The Court of the Crimson King they brought the house down, wow it was just awesome!
My son tried to get the autograph of SNL lead guitarist (he knew him by sight because he saw him on TV all the time). This mad-dashing pony-tailed guitarist quite literally almost knocked my son down as he ran past bumping him with his guitar and small little amp he was carrying. As he then quickly pulled away in his vintage large tail-fined white Cat-O-Lack, I said to my son, never mind him, what about Fripp did you get his autograph? He replied who? I guess he was just to young to appreciate that he was chasing the wrong guy.

there was an elder at our hall ,when he would call on someone , he would help the brother with the mic to find the person.
he did this by saying: " sister little in the front"....hehehhe ,, of course being bored to death, this always cracked several us of rowdy back seat sitters up.. here are more examples from our old hall.
sister key , in the rear.
One poor guy I knew, an Elder, gave a public talk comparing Gods Spirit to water in a desert. Anyway at a very serious part in his talk he was supposed to say and they all died from lack of water, each and every one of them. But what he said instead was and they died from lack of hunger, the stupid dummies.
He looked really puzzled when people started laughing; Almost pissed my pants. He did a LOT of drugs in his youth.

sorry, i don't have time to search the site right now.
this bloody french isp is rubbish, and i keep getting dropped when i try anything that takes more than 10 seconds.
has the society ever come up with any intelligent reasoning to counter the ages that carbon dating/science has given to various artifacts, i.e.
What evidence?
Jesus Pomegranate,
Read a book, take a class, go to college, but for Gods sake take you head out of your ass and open your eyes!

I have always had a problem harmonizing the Theory of Evolution with that of creation. It has to be one or the other. And in my heart of hearts I would like evolution exposed as a great hoax. Yes I want to believe in a creator, and quite frankly I dont want my existence attributed to being the end product of a series of endless biological errors.
My problem is that the preponderance of the evidence to date is on the side of evolution; in fact its massive and growing all the time. I wonder, how we can overcome this?
Regrettably the strength of the creation argument seems not to be base on anything substantive and not empirical evidence, but rather is mostly based on the imperfection of Darwinism itself.
Darwinism is far from a perfect model in explaining the reality of evolution, but we are forced to admit it is a working model. You dont even need to go to the ends of the earth such as Darwin did to see these mechanisms in action, a number of fields of science clearly demonstrate some of the most basic precepts of the Darwin model.
What we who would like to believe in a special creation need is a working creation model. Unfortunately on our side, to date there is no model, perfect or otherwise. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if we ever are able to put forth such a model, it has to be nothing less then perfect. We dont have the luxury of having an imperfect model because anything less then Gods perfection is not acceptable.
I sure hope we can overcome all this evidence supporting evolution, but so far it doesnt look too good for our side.

i am an outsider ( a non jw from ) and just accidentally happened to follow a link to this site.
i have found these postings really interesting.
i would like to tell you a little story of my own too: i was a while ago in a situation where a dated a jw girl.
Joshua,
All that you are being told is quite true. You see the JW religion requires of its adherents a great deal. It not only requires large amounts of time, but it requires a full commitment of self.
Do you fully comprehend what this means?
The JW religion requires TOTAL LOYALTY, nothing less is acceptable! In fact a follower of the JW religion must place loyalty to Watchtower society above their own lives, even the lives of their own children. You must not only be willing to die for this religion should the need arise, you must do so Joyfully!
And because the commitment to the Watchtower is so firm, so embedded, any threat to the idea that the Watchtower is Gods only organization will trigger a number of mental protection mechanisms, not the least of which is rejection of the person threatening their little Watchtower world.
By pointing out the shortcomings of the Watchtower, I have threaten my wifes little Watchtower world; so I will never be close to her again. She thinks she is doing the right thing, and I understand that but it still hurts. I just cant tell you in words alone what a strain this has put on our marriage and on our family.
Im not normally one who would advocate that anyone should not be allowed to do as they please, however in hindsight, I wish there was a law that required all religions, particularly highly controlling religions such as the Watchtower to disclose all aspects of just what their religion requires of it's members before one joins.
Much like the truth in lending statement that must be provided before you commit to a loan, one should know all the hidden fees and costs before you sign on the dotted line.
And lastly, if after reading the full disclosure document, and deciding to go ahead with a commitment to this religion, trained competent psychologists should examine the perspective convert, because nobody in their right mind would willing join this cult if they knew all the facts as I do now.

my brother and his family have been jw's for over 10 years now.
i am not and no one else in my family is a jw.
my brother's son will be getting married shortly and we will be attending the service in the kh.
As you are probably aware, the first wedding was performed by God himself in the Garden of Eden. The JW wedding is a simple ceremony fashioned after the verses in the Bible book of Genesis. There will be many scriptures quoted outlining the responsibilities of both the husband and the wife.
You should be aware that they dont throw rice at the end as this custom is of pagan origin, so dont bring any.
For most people the most striking difference is the nudity. The audience is not required to be nude, however understandably the bride and groom are, as the first bride and groom were. I would say that 75% of the time the wedding party is also nude, but that is not mandatory, only the bride and groom must be nude just as the first bride and groom were back in Eden.
Its actually a very lovely ceremony, Im sure you will enjoy it.

They still dont get it, do they? When a child is raped and the child is the only witness, sorry kid its your word against his.
What would happen if the so-called brother is accused not of rape, but of murder, of killing his wife? The only witness to the alleged crime is the surviving child.
Will the elders also say, sorry kid cant do anything about it or will they at least call the police and let them investigate?
See the double standard?
Possible crime of murder, call the police, possible crime of child rape, cant call the police without two witnesses, and maybe not even then.
So why is this sick policy in place, why the double standard?
Ask yourself; of what crime have some members of the governing body accused?
Ill give you a hint; its not murder.
Now you get the picture dont you?
Theyre not just protecting the congregation pedophiles; theyre protecting the governing pedophiles!
Christ I Hate The CULT!
