Thinking all sorts of bad things is going to guarantee you screw it up. Go with it, if it works, fine, if it doesnt, well, it doesn't

Do You Blame Your Current Life's Issues Because You Were A JW?

by minimus in

friends

do you tend to blame your problems on the fact that you were a jehovah's witness?.

i know there are many people on this discussion board who love learning, so i thought i would share this link i received from my undergrad university.. it will take you to a series of lectures at the school that were videotaped, and some look quite interesting.

best of all, you can watch them for free.

Telecaster: Sixty Years Ago This Month, a Musical Icon was Born

by leavingwt in

npr .

the telecaster: still wailing at 60. .

it's a sound that changed guitar-making, guitar-playing and, ultimately, popular music.. there had been efforts to design a solid-body electric guitar since the 1930s, but it wasn't until leo fender introduced the perfect blend of musical form and function that fundamental problems were resolved: a telecaster could be mass-produced, was easy to repair and, unlike a traditional hollow-body electrified guitar, could be played loud without feedback.. .

Abusive Women and manipulation

by Lady Lee in

i think it is an excellent article.

Zid, Thx for clarification, I really appreciate it. And, often the "nice" "martyr" types are the absolute monsters, the WORST. Of either gender, I will write more on that tomorrow.

BOTR, I dig your posts and all, but what does that have to do with abusive women? If there was a post about abusive men and I came on and posted how great it was to be a shriner, or hanging @ a Mens drum circle...

My article on Russia's ban of JW's

by honorsthesis in

i am a columinst for cornell university's "the diplomacist".

i recently wrote an article on the various troubles jehovah's witnesses are facing in russia.

i try to make the point that, even if you do not support the witnesses (and most don't) you should support freedom of thought, expression and religion.. if you are interested in checking it out, here it is: "snuffing out religious freedom in russia".

Great stuff, BOTR
