  so last night i'm chatting with my wife about some things i had read on this site, when she dropped a bomb on me.

  see we have been attempting new non-jw friendships, to make our fade a little more bearable (in her case since she has so many jw friends).

  i have been trying to do this for her and told of a few i've found here, and on facebook.

  How do you organize your music collection?

  seems no matter how hard i try, it winds up all shuffled up, cd covers lost, inserts pulled out, and a pile of loose cd's because who ever is listening never puts them back.. if a few are out no problem.

  right now i am working on about 300 loose cd's with run away covers.. i must be doing something wrong.. do you organize by the type of music...like classical, rock, jazz,....?

  do you just do it by alpha?

  No... The original broadway cast. Sorely missing Topol, but otherwise I much prefer it (musically) to the movie. (I the movie, though. )

  Hmmm... Thats a though. If its just your kids that are messing with your CDs, you can always use one of those sounds that you lose the ability to hear as you grow older... They played one in our physics of sound class to demonstrate... Actually managed to scare away a tour group that happened to look in the lecture hall at the wrong moment. Its as annoying as anything if you can hear it, but I think you can't after, like, 25-30.

  I assume from the context that there is an entire family involved in the mess. LoL. Its always easy to take care of your own toys... Its when other people start playing with them that you start having problems.

  FTR, its illegal to rip a CD and then sell or give away the CD while keeping the .MP3 copy.

  I rip all my CDs to my laptop, and then keep my CDs in a giant binder along with some movies/video games... Not really in any particular order. The cases I have stuck in a box somewhere back home.

  Just don't forget to backup the music if you don't have the CD anymore!!! (That's how I lost my Fiddler on the Roof original cast recording... )

  and then, immediately after babylon the great is destroyed, almost without a break, look at matt 24 :29 -immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.. now in what sense will the sun be destroyed and the moon not give its light?

  are you ready for that?.

  and you'll fall across the finish line into the new world !

  No guilt or fear being used here. No sirreee.

  It's all about the L-O-V-E.

  ROFLMAO!!! Oh, yeah.

  You know... Its becoming so obvious to me the way they use guilt and fear to control... I can hardly read that article without becoming guilty and fearful, despite knowing its a bunch of hogwash. LoL. I think the comment on giving "all your money" especially funny... and disturbing at the same time...

  I have finally figured ot how a lot of JWs gain more members besides having more kids...

  by cognac in

  i've noticed that when a bible study is conducted, when worldly people have questions a lot of jws say that there question is covered later in the book.

  that way, the worldlys get stopped in there tracks all the while feeling like there questions are getting answered while the assimilation takes place.. they either forget there question or the book tells them what the answer is without either giving them biblical proof or twisting scriptures.

  i've noticed a lot of paragraphs in books just telling people what the answer is without scriptures or saying something like, "surely it would make sense that...".

  I remember when I was young and going in the door to door ministry I used to avoid "touchy subjects" like the plague. It never occured to me that not talking about disfellowshipping and such was just a way to control people by not letting them know all the information until they were already in.

  Fortunately, I was never a very successful minister.

  How could a Disc Jockey be a JW in good standing?

  Maybe he only plays Kingdom Melodies and "clean" songs.

  so as not to hijack another thread, i'm going off on my rantangent here.. in the other thread i posted a 1960s wt quote about women having puny brains, being incapable of leading or making decisions, being ruled by their menstrual constitution and weak musculature.

  blahbety blah blah blah.

  if you want more gems, just google "watchtower quotes women" and read to your heart's content.. i got to thinking, who is this broad they quoted as a source, dr. marie n. robinson?
