  Listened to an radio interview with Peter Gabriel briefly about some recordings he did with monkeys accompanying him on the piano. Now before we get the snark and ridicule hear me out.

  The conclusions that they were reaching was that there was a much stronger degree of sentience that was previously thought. To further expand, maybe they are much more like us, but limited by there comunication skills.

  It certainly raised more questions than it answered, and the musical recordings were amazing.

  Oh, and another aspect of the interview dealing with this, if I remember it correctly dealt with the need or idea of having an Interspecies Internet.

  Found it, here is a link.

  "weren't you scared to do something like that, knock on a stranger's door?

  actually it's been so long that i had almost forgotten.

  Been bit by dogs, threatened with guns, shot at by N. California marijuana growers, same as many others. Verbally assaulted regularly.

  But one that came to mind was not an experience of mine, but of my first serious girlfriend when I was active.

  Her family lived about an hour and a half drive south of San Francisco at the time in a relatively rural area. She and her father went out in service about 45 minutes from their home. Her father was a real nice guy, great father to his family, but was kind of absent minded. I got along really well with him, and the mom.

  After they had been out for a while, and they had been working separately, he decided that it was time to head home, and left her in the territory. And as she explained to me it was not that great of an area. This was before cell phones were common and she said that she was there alone for about 2 hours. She really stood out in the area that she was in, she was a blonde Swede wandering the streets in a migrant farming area.

  When her father arrived back home, the revelation hit him, no doubt by his wife, that he had left something important in the territory. He raced back and quickly located her, a little bleary, but unharmed. After a couple of years passed they were able to laugh it off.

  I think about her often, though I have not spoken to her in years. She still lives in the same area, though on the coast, not far from San Simeon.

  It is amazing what memories some unrelated topics can bring back.

  Do you think "Blondie" is addicted to reading Watchtowers and Awakes?

  by booker-t in

  i remember when i was a "devout" jws i could not wait to get the new watchtowers and awakes from the wednesday nite theocratic ministry school.

  i would actually salivate thinking of the new information jehovah had in the magazines for us.

  i was "franatical" and i would go home still in my three piece suit and devour the magazines that very nite.

  I personally am glad that she is "taking one for the team" so to speak. That she can stomach going through them is much better than I can do.

  The best that I can do is peruse her reviews of the study articles. Thanks for your hard work Blondie!

  i like her videos about self-injury and other mental and physical problems, that could happened to young people.... she say that she is an active jw and regularly visit the meetings and go to service.. http://www.youtube.com/user/idranktheseawater.

  but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.

  it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

  A warm welcome idranktheseawater !!

  Very courageous and noble for you to be making videos addressing issues and problems that the organisation would rather not acknowledge that its members suffer with at a far greater rate than the public in general.

  Keep doing what you are doing. It is certainly a great use of your time and energies. Keep it up!

  Introduction

  by XPineProcessionary in

  2. experiences

  i've been active on the jwr site for a few months now and thought i'd introduce myself here, as well.

  long story short we served in ecuador and south korea, and in several "need greater" (vomit) places in the usa.

  we got our necks cut off for putting ourselves out there, which was a good thing in the end, since it helped us to see that the gb is self-serving.

  Under The Dome

  by KariOtt in

  2. friends

  after watching the first 2 epsoides and looking foward to the rest i was thinking that a dome needs to be put over every kingdom hall on sunday morrning.

  that way we could be rid of a large chunk of them and those who missed the meeting could see that its a false church.

  wishful thinking i know but i can't help it..

  Welcome chrisuk!

  Go slow with your mother, the last thing that you want her to do is put up barriers between you two.

  Congrats on doing your research before being sucked in!
