  Before You Actually Stopped Meetings, How Many HATED Being There?

  when i listen to anything at the meetings, it is with a critical eye.

  i really can't stand going, especially today.

  did you feel that the meetings were grating and extremely irritating, just before you stopped going altogether?

  gangs start training their children to be gang members at the earliest possible age.

  dubs start training their children to be cult members at the earliest possible age.

  it is fairly easy to get into a gang.

  .

  a number of people feel that basically, not only was their life stolen from them because they were witnesses, but because of their being at one time jw's, they are screwed for the rest of their lives.

  are you in that category?

  Can't say too much, but I know one of the people interviewed for this, i think, & idunno if they'll even show it, she's so damaged that her communication skills are'nt that great. I hope they do though,even damaged this is one feisty person.

  I'll talk more about this if they air their story.

  Great book! I was an AVID reader of Heinlein in my teens, & I truly think his philisophical viewpoint helped me escape the Dubs. Seriously.

  Whats the best internet music file sharing thingy....?

  by ScoobySnax in

  2. friends

  have been using morpheus for a couple of years now, and hasn't been too bad at all, got about 400 tracks download.

  since gettiing aol broadband, the diversity seems to have diminished a bit, either i'm on the wrong dsl provider or morpheus isn't as good as it used to be.

  the one i was on previous (can't remember the name now) went totally pearshaped after it got served a writ for using copyrighted material.....anyway, know of any other good music file sharing sites?

  Thanks Mark...... I appreciate your concern too, but don't have much time for the greed of record companies that wanna charge me £15.99 for a cd, that costs just a fraction of the price, and have no concern themselves for "royalties". If its any help, its not from "fledgling" artists I download from , only those well established, who live in mansions, and surely can tolerate file sharing sites due to there already enormous wealth. Greed is prevalent in the industry, I feel strongly that ordinary people have this right to d/l on then net, music that they love. Sincerely. Scott

  ZOIKS!!!! Gee, scoob, I would think after all your talk about how great god, the jw's etc. are that you would'nt steal, or you atleast would follow Caesars law. I feel stumbled
