Suppose a man born blind, and now adult, and taught by his touch to distinguish between a cube and a sphere of the same metal, and neighly of the same bigness, so as to tell, when he felt one and the other, which is the cube, which the sphere. Suppose then the cube and sphere placed on a table, and the blind man be made to see: quaere, whether by his sight, before he touched them, he could now distinguish and tell which is the globe, which the cube?

Blown around, swept across and tossed…
Where do I look? Where do I go?
Why do I feel so lost?
What am I looking for? I don’t even know….Will I know the answer when it arrives?
Which way is up? Which way is down?
Is it always confusing – everything that life contrives?
Am I genius? Or just a damn clown?Am I insane? Is this real?
How do you know when you are happy? How do you make it last?
Is pain something we believe or is it something we really feel?
How can we find peace, not fleeting dreams that fade so fast? -

Who sang this song?
by hungry4life ini have been trying to figure out the title and singer of song i heard on the radio a few years ago.
all i remember about the lyrics is that a guy is in a record store and runs into an old girlfriend they go into a cafe and talk about all kinds of things (it's snowing outside) when they finally go their seperate ways the snow turns into rain.
does this sound familiar to anyone it has driven me nuts.

someone questioned whether the society actually encouraged dubs to whup their children.
i only had enough time to dig up a few salient quotes from the wt magazine.

Frelimo protected Jehovah's Witnesses
by Kent inmaputo (aim) - mozambican president joaquim chissano said in maputo, on tuesday, that the state and the various religions in the country are now definitely reconciled.. speaking to members of the jehovah's witnesses sect, chissano recalled that at different moments in history, across the world, states and churches have clashed in various ways.. "in mozambique it was the same", he admitted, referring to the period immediately following the country's independence, when jehovah's witnesses were accused of counter-revolutionary behaviour, and compulsorily evacuated from maputo to northern mozambique.. this was a break with the practices of the liberation war.
chissano recalled that during the struggle for independence, the liberation movement, frelimo, protected jehovah's witnesses.. (aim).

Kent,
From my information, Frelimo was a murderer of JW's as well as many other innocent people. I have met people who fled under his regime.
Sincerely,
