Accurate information dispels the little niggling voices of doubt. Once you know the facts, there is no question that the WT way is a one-way dead-end street to Nowheresvillle.

The Harry Potter books are very much childrens' books. Harry is the equivalent of a 4th grader in the first book. The books have all the hallmarks of classic children's fiction: orphan hero, mistreated and forced to live in a cupboard, turns out to be Someone Special. Magic replaces the mundane.
There are loving descriptions of food (as Lewis Carroll observed, children love to read about feasting), there are wonderful classes and horrible boring classes at Hogwart's, there are villains and heroes, and occasionally one is mistaken for the other.
Americans tend to want kids' books to be candycoated niceyface pablum these days. The very best books, though, serve up equal amounts of terror and wonder, and Rowling's books deliver that beautifully.

Total Recall was based on a story called 'We Can Remember It For You Wholesale' by the incomparable Philip K. Dick. I recommend you pass up the inferior Hollywood pablum and go right for the real deal in print. It's MUCH more interesting than the film.

Positive Name For ExJWs...?
by ISP ini don't like the word apostate.......because it simply is not the case in so many cases.
i think the term 'truthseeker' would be better and quite annoying to jws who think they are!.
come on you truthseekers!.

I embrace whatever pejorative name anyone chooses to slap on me. "Apostate'? Kewl, I AM the most disgusting, debauched, filthy apostate that person can conjure in their fevered brain. Glad to be of service!
Labels divide, and compartmentalize, and dehumanize. If I demystify the labeling process by laughing at it, and embracing whatever label scares the other most, I strip them of the power to control, and, a nice side bonus, terrify the labeller in the process.
Call me apostate! I LOVE it! It means I am doing my job, and someone is running scared.

Classical Music Survey
by Celtic inwhat classical music do you enjoy and why?
can you please state whether in/out jw's?

LOL you askin a redneck cracker what classical music she likes? Harhar..."I don't know from art but I know what I like" and doncha HATE when us goobers say that?
Here's some of what I like:
anything Mozart
Orff: Carmina Burana
most JS Bach
Rach #3 (Helfgott's recording is nice)
Ravel's Bolero when played by Frank Zappa's road band (a genuine hoot)
I like the tinkly romantic syrupy stuff like 'l'apres-midi de l'un faun' (isn't that Debussy?)
Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite is a favea lot of classical music gives me a pain in my fundament. Of course a lot of music from all genres does that to me. As Sturgeon's Law notes, '90% of everything is crap' (although I maintain he underestimated). In this as in so much of life, one must sift through tons of dross to find the gold.
I really like Charlotte Church, she is an amazing child and her style is maturing without all the ego that so many talented singers inject into their work. Although most opera leaves me cold, some of the arias she performs are just stunning.
Now when you gonna ask about country music, or western music, or folk, or psychedelic rock, or bluegrass, or klezmer, or gospel, or swing...?
Love as per usual,

I dunno Lisa, we managed some pretty good sex during my pregnancy with Little D. It takes a little patience and imagination but there are some nice positions that work real well around a big belly.
That experimentation helped a lot after my hip/leg problems got bad; crip sex has to be as inventive as preggers sex but we already had the moves worked out so it was no prob to find the best ways to get close without hurting something.
Tell hubby that lots of massage might turn you on. Even if it doesn't you might get a couple good massages before he figures it out.
Love and good luck incubating your bun,

Need some information...
by Andyman ina jw on another site posted this today:.
the verdict is in!
almost all of the anti-jehovah's witness organization have been completely quiet about the arrest and detention of the person in denmark who posted on the "yourselves and to all of the flock", and the society's other secret documents, in violation of international copyright laws.

As usual, all hot air, no factual content.
This sounds to me like a lot of whistling past the graveyard. Jdubbies are so smegging scared of feelthy demonic apostate talk that they gotta stick their fingers in their ears and scream 'Lalalalalala' to each other trying to drown out those pesky facts.
Damn Kent aren't you insulted? That's twice in one week some goober said you're Danish! Hey I wonder it it's the same clueless Jdub?

article "Cult Status"
by peaceloveharmony inhi folks, today i grabbed my favorite weekly newspaper, citypages to read over lunch.
the cover story is about a self-help seminar offered by a group called vistar.
as i started to read, i realized this was very similar (in fact everything was the same except the name of the group!

How interesting that you post this today. I'm reading Steve Hassan's newest book; his description of these 'self-actualization' seminars as mind control agencies sure fits with this article.
Amazing how these groups can get people to PAY big $$$ to be told what and how to think! Geez Harmony, think we're in the wrong biz?
Always givin' it away for free,

I suggest you try the Signals catalog; they sell PBS-related stuff and I think I saw this series listed at one time.
Let us know if you find it. I don't get the catalog any more so I don't know what's current.
