  art!.

  what the hell is it?.

  i can't tell you what it is, but, i can tell you what i think it does.. art changes you.. it stops you cold in your tracks.. when you finally walk away from it you keep on thinking about it.. you can't shrug it off easily.. it's now a different world for you.. .

  *Grace* According to JW's. Your thoughts will be appreciated.

  by Lily Pie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi, i'm a bit of a lurker on this site occasionally, just to help me understand my jw relative.

  i am so curious to ask this question, but i fear asking a practicing jw, because you know, they can be a tad evasive, and maybe defensive too.

  lutherans say.

  Works of Nietzsche, Paine, Wilde

  by SweetBabyCheezits in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the past, i was hardly keen on reading for pleasure but i have been cracking open some of the more, uh, classic(?

  ) writings lately in an attempt to broaden my limited understanding.

  i'm pretty taken with thomas paine's the age of reason at the moment but i've also come across a number of quotes from nietzsche and oscar wilde that make a great deal of sense to me.

  Does anybody in London know anything about this???

  by brizzzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a californian, but a good friend in london just texted me saying there's a blitz of about 50 jehovah's witnesses in croydon right outside of where she's eating loaded up with watchtowers and setting up a stall and a speaker with a megaphone.

  she also says that some of them are women in wheelchairs and that they're rolling in front of passers by and blocking them when they try to ignore them.

  she says all of the pedestrians are telling them to fuck off and leave them alone because they're not interested in a cult, haha.. is this something new that the society is encouraging over there (or even more scary, everywhere?
