Which songs give you goosebumps?

by LoveUniHateExams in

i don't know if this topic has been covered before - it might 've been.. i also recommend flipper's excellent music thread ('what songs have you been listening to?

', or similar).. but, i'd just like to start a thread about certain songs giving me goosebumps.

y'know, when you hear a song that profoundly effects you in some difficult-to-describe way and the hairs on your arm stand on end even though the room temperature's comfortably warm.. so, which songs give you goosebumps?.

What an excellent read that touches on the many issues that the organization attempts to conceal! The journalist Mr. David Gambacorta did an amazingly thorough investigation, which revealed how sinister this group can truly be.

My elder father always made it clear, if we were to ever stop serving the organization that he would kick us out of the home as soon as we turned 18. Then he said that if we chose to stop meetings and service during that time that he would ground us and essentially confine us to our rooms. I got dunked at 18 so I wouldn't loose social status in the hall and without an advanced education or worldly friends, what else would I have done? Haven't been active for 30 years and my father says that I am still held by that decision.

The idiots Hollyweird destroys the Bond Franchise

by rockemsockem in

99% of the people who go to bond films want a straight white english bond with a bit of light sexism and some bond girls thrown in.

they do not want a tranny bond or a gay or lesbian bond.

and they do not want a black woman bond.

Gave up on Bond after Connery and Moore.

Watchtower volunteer injuries

by neat blue dog in

i was recently talking with a zealous 'sister' who for years was assigned to use a certain chemical while taking care of wt property, only to have it irreparably damage her immune system partly because she wasn't trained properly.

she said there was a potential lawsuit but she didn't want to bring reproach on jehovah's organization.

has anybody else heard of similar situations, of people being hurt or injured in service to the org, maybe even because of them, and taking the loss so the org wouldn't look bad?.

During a quick build in Vegas back in the 80's, a teenager was riding in the back of a pick-up transporting supplies. The truck hit a bump at a decent rate of speed and he was tossed and died due to his injuries. I know the brother driving the pick-up was so shaken up and understandably so, I am not sure what came of it or if there was any compensation or lawsuit. I was already inactive at this point.
