  i was saddened to hear the news of the death of johnny cash, in his early 70's.

  i was never a real fan of country music, but johnny was different , the only artist of the genre that i rated.

  so long ,johnny cash.

  Thanks for pointing that out, Heathen. But I never knew that Kris Kristofferson wrote it (if he did). And nobody else would if Johnny hadn't sung it, yeah?

  My favourite Johnny Cash song:

  Sunday Morning Coming Down

  by Johnny Cash

  
  

  Album	: Sings His 20 Best

  
  
  

  Well, I woke up Sunday morning With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt. Then I washed my face and combed my hair And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day. I'd smoked my mind the night before With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking. But I lit my first and watched a small kid Playing with a can that he was kicking. Then I walked across the street And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken. And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost Somewhere, somehow along the way. On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down. In the park I saw a daddy With a laughing little girl that he was swinging. And I stopped beside a Sunday school And listened to the songs they were singing. Then I headed down the street, And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing, And it echoed through the canyon Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday. On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down. Spanner

  Women and abusive relationships...I don't understand?

  by obiwan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do you stay in an abusive relationship?

  do you feel that it's your responsibility to change him?

  do you feel you "owe" him.

  Perhaps a similarity with the JW religion (and others) can be paralled here; people are being abused, but they are reluctant to leave. This could be due to a punishment that (in the abused's mind) far out-weighs the prospect of a separation, or they simply have nowhere to go.

  I do sometimes wonder where the Watchtower got its emotional blackmail expertise from.

  nine years ago today,,,,,,,my last baby was born , only to have been told for 3 weeks that he would not live but a few hours if that.

  he had so many problems , and i had the best doctors working with me trying to save my life and his,,,,,,,still the news was the same everyday.......they said he wouldnt make it and they were sorry.

  they told me to pic a name out for my baby boy, so that when the time came, arrangements could be made.

  are you: a minority group called "jew" a majority group called "greek" a minority group called "christian"

  to believe in christ, the jews asked for a powerful sign, before they would believe.. to believe in christ, the greeks appealed to logic and wisdom, before they would believe.. to believe in christ, the christians simply believed, and treated it as a personal calling.. which category do you believe you fall into 1, 2 or 3?.

  .. 1cor.1:22-25 - the message.

  To believe in Christ, the Jews asked for a powerful sign, before they would believe.
  To believe in Christ, the Greeks appealed to logic and wisdom, before they would believe.
  To believe in Christ, the Christians simply believed, and treated it as a personal calling.

  "Believe in" what, exactly?

  1. That Christ actually even existed? No proof!

  2. That Christ is the Messiah? The Jews don't believe this, even though the OT was written by them and for them. (According to the bible.

  But that can't be proven, either).

  3. That Christ is God? Many counter-arguments can be given to disprove this using the bible. But the bible is such a subjective book

  anyway. Much better to refer to 1. above and do away with the middle-man.

  Krusty:

  	East Africa & Seychelles Climate
  	The Seychelles consist of over 90 small islands, mostly low-lying, although the largest island (Mahe) has hills up to 3000 feet They have a tropical climate, and have become a popular tourist resort. Winter average daily maximum temperatures reach 28 - 29 °C (83 - 84 °F), but it is a very wet season (about 15 dry days on average) with average monthly rainfall about 14 inches (355 mm). On the Kenyan coast, daily maximum winter temperatures can be up to 31 °C (88 °F), but inland at Nairobi (6000 feet), values are only about 24 °C (75 °F). Generally, the mainland is much drier than The Seychelles, with about 24-25 dry days on average, but monthly average rainfalls of only about 1-2 inches (25-50 mm). Springtime temperatures in The Seychelles are slightly higher, with daily average values up to 30 °C (86 °F). The season is drier than Winter, with about 21 dry days on average and a monthly average rainfall of about 7.5 inches (191 mm). Conversely, this is the mainland's wet season, with monthly average rainfall totals up to 8.3 inches (211 mm) inland, and 12.6 inches (320 mm) on the coast at Mombasa. Coastal temperatures can reach 30 °C (86 °F) in April, but are pegged back at about 23 °C (74 °F) inland. The summer months in The Seychelles have similar temperatures with average daily maxima about 27-28 °C (81-83 °F), but the mainland's temperatures are as low as 21 °C (70 °F) inland. Coastal temperatures will be 6 or 7 °C higher than those inland. Monthly average rainfall is about 3 inches (75 mm) in The Seychelles, with about 22 dry days on average. Mainland rainfall totals average about 0.9 inches (23 mm) inland, and about 2.5 inches (64 millimetres) on the coast. The Seychelles are rarely affected by tropical cyclones, and the combination of relatively high temperatures and high humidity is tempered by frequent daytime sea breezes. However, the nights may feel uncomfortably oppressive. Again, Autumn in The Seychelles has average daily maximum temperatures of 28-29 °C (83-84 °F). It is a wetter season, with about 19 dry days on average and an average monthly rainfall total of up to 9.1 inches (231 mm). One factor of the Seychelles climate is the remarkably consistent average maximum temperatures, only varying by about 3 °C all year. The mainland is rather drier, with monthly average rainfall totals of about 3 inches (75 mm) on the coast, but as high as 4.3 inches (109 mm inland). However, the actual number of dry days is about the same as those on The Seychelles. Inland temperatures are about 2 °C up on the summer values.

  I hope that answers you question.
