it pisses me off that they are advertising the new star trek movie so far ahead of release.

i thought it would be released soon, turns out it won't be shown until may 2013. and no sherlock until the fall of 2013 maybe.

"Gossip is the opiate of the oppressed."

a quote attributed to erica jong in the toronto globe and mail.. interesting quote.

is that why there's such a big problem with gossip amongst jw's?.

On some levels, in the US , we have become a cultur of gossip.
People Magizine , when it first came out , I remember thinking it's basicly gossip. I like to watch CNN, they have Showbiz Tonight on their alternate channel. Basicly gossip. THe Daily Mail in the UK, tons of gossip.
Most of the reality shows are fueled by gossip.
When I was a kid during the 70's, I could miss school if I went in service . I usually ended up with the pioneer sister, very nice ladies, but man did I get an ear full about everyones life in the Hall.
So gossip is now entertainment. Where's the Pipe? :-(

I was saddened and suprised to hear this.
He was just touring last summer and playing a nice venue close by and I missed it. :-( He had a great PBS interview and I saw for the first time, what a great personlity he had . Also his gift of not needing to read music . He was a charming, talented, engaging man , very involed in his belief system too.

Hey there Flipper
It was a very special day. I went with my little brother. We would also hit many midnight showings at an old theater to watch 'The Song Remains The Same " . Kind of early MTV type stuff, dont you think?
The 70's concert we saw was one of the last in the US . Robert Plant's young son died, so they canceled the rest of the tour.
Crossing fingers, hoping they tour again too.

'screw Zep'. Oh my fakesmile, thems fighting words.....
I sure hope they do tour agian, it's been so long. That would be my dream concert.
I saw them in 1974 or 5 at the Oakland Coliseum, CA. It was kind of strange, having been there for District Assemblies. Wasnt used to stepping over barf and the smell of weed and beer. hehe
Hey there Flipper, I will be getting that DVD/CD.
Peace out to you too.

1975 - A weak argument?
by Christ Alone in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i posted this on an older thread, but i wanted to get an honest opinion about this from all of you.

i think taking the 1975 approach with a jw is...weak.

was it wrong (and false prophetic) of them?

Greetings Christ Alone
In my area, at the circuit assembly we had a "Bethelite" speaker, and he did say armagedon was coming in 1975. He screamed it like an old fashioned Baptist preacher.
Many things were said at that time, sort of 'off the record' , by C.O.s., etc. Combining this with what was printed, everyone I knew at the time, belived it. I remember sitting at the dinner table and asking my mom , so am I ever going to finish school, drive a car, get married? Many things . In fact she said Jehovah would straighten my teeth, so no braces.
I've brought this up recently , my mom denies it all and gets very defensive. My dad doesnt say to much other than it was true and the speaker at the assembly was counseled. What ever that means. Well thanks for letting me know . I was a scared teen and belived we were all going to go to concentation camps and have our fingernails pulled out.
You just had to be there at that time to feel the fear and frenzy.
