the 1980's was certainly a strange time for rock groups, and musical development.
lots of techno, beginnings of alternative , and some rock n' roll groups trying to push along.
what were your favorites ?
U2 - I could listen to Trip Through Your Wires over and over.
Duran Duran - I liked the more obscure songs like The Chauffeur. Didn't care for the overplayed songs like Reflex and Wild Boys.
Depeche Mode - Still one of my all time favorite bands
They Might Be Giants - They are still an awesome band.
Human League - These are the Days
Ministry (in the 80's) before they turned loud and hostile
Almost forgot INXS! Love them. Still listen to their CD's.
sitting at home on a friday night - browsing through all the jw groups on facebook and this catches my eye.... we help support our full-time ministry with this website.
please have a look at the "watchtower" -style pins and pendants.
with a link to this website http://jeffreydesign.com/index.php?main_page=index&cpath=7 aside from the fact that it really ain't pretty, how pukeworthy is this??
bleck....I like jewelry but not that crap.
some time passes.. god: noah.. noah: yeah, god?.
jesus: yeah.
jesus: yeah.
er, if you haven't already, you should read The Bible According to Mark Twain. I found his excerpts from Adam and Eve's diary quite amusing.
I just want you to do it with CURSED OFFSPRING instead. That'll teach you to do what I told you not to.
My mom has a similar curse that she used to say. Something to the effect that "I hope you have a child someday that acts like that." - when we were misbehaving. Which really sounds like she was putting a curse of bad children on us.

jesus: yeah.
jesus: yeah.
OMG er, thanks for that. Made me chuckle and put everything back into perspective. It reminded me of why I chucked religion. Imagine if we treated our kids the way the Hebrew God treats His children. Somehow us imperfect humans can correct our children and forgive and forget very quickly. Jehovah is not a very good daddy to say the least.
Coolio. I have something to look forward to.
so i stubled on the following image on gbletters site.
you have to love how the watchtower uses circular reasoning quoting from older watchtower articles to reinforce their points.
i thought i would have a look myself to see what the toast signifies and its history this was very surprising.
that's very interesting.

jesus' message differs from every other religious leader of his day in that he encouraged his followers to love their enemy.. are jw's encouraged to love their enemies?.
they aren't allowed to even pray for disfellowshipped former brethern although they are stray sheep.
you'll recall jesus said that a fine shepherd would even leave the 99 sheep to go after and return with the "stray".. how do jw's love their enemies?.
Do they show love for their friends??? The JW's have love and hate so mixed up that I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. They'll shun a former member because it's the loving thing to do - without even a full understanding of WHY they are shunning. They'll judge and question whether you are good association when you are IN the congregation. (I think they need to figure out how to show love for each other first, before they tackle the rest of the population.)
I can't see how any could claim to love their enemies. Mighty one, if an enemy is someone in direct opposition, then shouldn't JW's be praying for Satan to mend his ways?
JW's are supposed to hate the things in the world (everything material or real or not spiritually upbuilding) and keep separate from the world. I'd say hate is more on their minds, than love.
for the last 5 and 1/2 weeks i have been at the gym mostly twice a day except saturdays - i only have one training session.
each of my sessions is at least an hour long but can go for two hours.
i do various cardio in the evenings and do strength training in the morning.
Hi Loubelle. I've always loved exercising but getting around to doing it is another thing. Lately, I've been getting up at 6 a.m. before anyone else in the house is awake and doing my stretches and walking with my dog for an hour. It's an awesome way to start the day. I supplement that with pilates or yoga a couple times a week. After I get in a little better shape, I'm thinking about taking a non-combative kickboxing class in the fall/winter. I'm sure if I tried to do an hour of kickboxing right now...well, my body would be screaming and I'd be huffing and puffing and it wouldn't be pretty.
It doesn't matter if your body takes a while to get whipped into shape, exercise still makes you feel great and gives you confidence, don't ya think? I've also noticed I actually crave healthier foods. That's a bonus.

what are the worst rules you've ever heard being dispensed from the platform?
"christians do not dance to ymca, as it promotes homosexuality.
"hairstyles that defy gravity also defy joe hoobie.
From public talk - It would be wrong to watch movies that promote good vs. evil. An example would be a well-known movie that has "the dark side" in it.
Were the brothers just trying to be clever in not directly naming Star Wars or are they not supposed to? Hubby and I hated when they were specific and made decisions for us like that.
Hubby says that one speaker said that we shouldn't read the papers or watch the news. He's kicking himself for not walking out that morning!!
