  Music of the 60's ... Peace Love and Understanding

  by Finkelstein in

  2. entertainment

  retrospectively looking back at some the music that was being produced during .

  the 60's, 70's and even in the 1950's there really was a lot of good music without the.

  entailing commercial visual hype that so apparent in popular music today.. this was of course pre music videos, the music had to stand on its own to create its own public appeal.. whats some of the music that you fondly remember all you baby boomers ?

  Who is supposed to do the "Separating Work" for the new magazines?

  by nochoice in

  so, there is a bit of a fight going on in our hall between our pioneer sisters and our magazine servant.

  since the new magazines are boxed with two issues together, there is a bit of work to be done separating them.

  our magazine servant stacked them on the counter as usual, right out of the box.

  to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.

  this topic began on another thread of an unrelated topic (see http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/242671/7/believers-vs-atheists-why-this-formulation.

  in order to try and keep that thread from redirecting further, i am continuing some new thoughts brought up there here.

  When Jesus talks to someone and they share it, this is probably the source:

  to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.

  you may have seen where i shared this before but my understanding is that it needs to be shared again... because there are those who will benefit.

  i won't go into my usual tome... but only state: .

  Jehovah's Witnesses dismayed by new magazine format from Watchtower Society.

  wow.

  i was surprised this week by calls from active jws complaining about the new magazine format, and more begging for money from the platform.. frankly i was surprized by this reaction since this is old news to jwn members.

  i guess actually shuffling to the bookroom and grabbing the new "awake tracts" minus the inside cover forward ...awakened many sleepy, catatonic, bored jws who never read the things or go on the internet anyway.. any feedback from other areas?.

  i've stumbled across a most creative artful photography, placing jesus in contemporary scenarios.. http://www.thejourneysproject.com/c-294-fine-christian-art.aspx.

  for a mere $1,000 i too, could have jesus working his makeover in my bedroom.

  ooh, la la.. i am having strong and mixed reactions to this work, and i welcome your input..

  definition: a thought-terminating cliche is a commonly used phrase, sometimes passing as folk wisdom, used to quell cognitive dissonance.. here's mine: we don't believe that way ..... we are christians in this home..

  they got the dna to prove it.

  there are other dna studies, too - although the ones i've heard about concluded that it was an unknown primate, not a human.

  I would be careful not to be too dogmatic either way, remember that they used to think the coelacanth was extinct.

  If There was a Cosmic Pain meter...

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine that it was possible to precisely measure the amount of suffering in the world at any given moment - a cosmic "pain meter".

  decide for yourself what the unit of measurement would be.. we can only imagine a fraction of the combined suffering that is being felt right now.

  physical pain, emotional despair, grief, desperation, loss, terror and hopelessness.. of course if there is an omniscient god then he knows to the last iota what that theoretical meter would read right now.. the bible contains a number of answers to the question of suffering - ever since the babylonian exile one popular answer has been to blame his nemesis the devil, "we know that we are children of god, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

  Are we not the living proof of the idiot God who placed us here
  Are we not His dirty children, His unwashed sons who He holds dear
  
  Are we not the proof that there may've been another creator
  If this is the ultimate truth, it had to come out sooner or later
  
  I've looked for the reason why we're here
  I've kept on searching until it was clear
  I've looked for excuses - can't find no other
  We must be the product of God's kid brother
  
  Their ivy halls are closed to us
  We scrape to survive and we taste the dust
  The things that we weren't meant to know
  Are spoke of in places where we can't go
  So don't tell me you still find it hard to believe
  That we were made by a different God
  
  Are we not the proof that there may've been another creator
  Let's run to the volcano and toss a virgin in the crater
  
  I've looked for the reason why we're here
  I've kept on searching until it was clear
  I've looked for excuses - can't find no other
  We must be the product of God's kid brother
  
  Their ivy halls are closed to us
  We scrape to survive and do what we must
  The things that we weren't meant to know
  Are spoke of in places where we can't go
  So don't tell me you still find it hard to believe
  That we were made by a different God
  
  Maybe there are two Gods
  A perfect God who made all those perfect people
  And another God who made the rest of us
  And maybe, just maybe, somewhere there's a Heavenly choir
  That sings off key
  
  Are we not the proof that there may've been another creator
  We'll dodge our way through life and hope for something greater
  
  I've looked for the reason why we're here
  I've kept on searching until it was clear
