i think that some of the dumbest were ones that pertained to science- not all of them, but a few, particularly the ones about evolution.
the most offensive (and also dumbest) were the ones about women, and the ones about rape.
those were horrible.
Yeah... Can ANYONE explain to me the "overlapping gen."? I mean, c'mon... Please. How can anyone buy that load of crap?
I remember that "Jws and School" book, a little. That freaked the sh*t out of me. I thought school was practically evil.
Does anyone know if they still recomend it?
i couldn't stand it.
never heard any of it played live, which i imagine would be much better, but still... i find it annoying.
for people who like that type of music, i guess it was good.
"Dead, dry, boring..."yup, you got it!
i used to really like the drawings as a kid.
the artists, i think, are usually pretty good, not so much at portraying emotions but in technical ways.
the photos always seemed silly to me.. so what do all of you think?.
Lol, I had the Paradise book, a very old copy, for a short time before giving it away. I don't remember the pic you guys are talking about, but the ones I remember were pretty scary.
@clearpoison: Lol, you're TOTALLY right; that beast with two horns IS kinda cute. I told someone that once and got The Look.

@Diest: 1) now I got that one stuck in my head.Thanks a lot. Lol. But yes, Christian music in general sucks pretty bad.
@poopsiecakes: Even as a JW I wanted to get married in anywhere but the Hall. (It was so bland and ugly to me.) And I wanted to play PUNK lol.
seriously, half day in (already had an argument with the wife this morning about individuality in the organization in which she conceded that a lot of it is based on looks) and this is already getting on my nerves.
i'll post a rebuttal based on my annotations later in the week but one thing i got to get off my mind: saying the feminist movement (women going to work instead of staying home) and the diversity laws (allowing for homosexuality - but also religious freedom, racial discrimination etc.
) caused a lot of the problems in our world right from the stage.. there are less people here than last year - about 500 less..
I haven't been to the convention yet, but whenever I go to one I come back feeling like I've been lectured by a bunch of would-be brainwashers. But this convention just sounds...extra-lame. Now that I am going into it pre-warned, I can enjoy their idiocy with a sense of humor.

But I never thought they were even well-written songs, except maybe a couple. My cong never sang with much passion. A few did.

I love the pics of the "wordly people". Lol. So fake...
to be a good jehovah's witness you must:.
have a fear of growing old and be vain about how you look.. struggle to make decisions.. be a nobody who can have power over others.. have a mental disabliity.. have a physical disabilty who wants a cure.. be normal, but have parents who are j.w.'s..
have had bouts of depression.. have a fear of being wrong.. the above are based upon people in the kh.
I was 2, 6, 7, and 8.

@ Mad Sweeney: I totally agree.
