  rape, abuse, & incest national network .

  1-800-hope rainnoperates the nation's only toll-free hotline for survivors of sexual assault.

  the hotline is operated 24 hours a day, and routes each call instantaneously to the rape crisis center nearest the caller by reading the area code and prefix of the caller's telephone number.

  Thanks for keeping this up front Seven.

  I know this thread is about information to help those who really need it, but can I just use it to gripe about the society a little more? Please?

  Thanks , reading that long list of well studied information, I couldn't help but think, "if Seven can do that, why couldn't a publisher, who publishes an editorial mag twice monthly, do the same thing?" In other words, why do we never just get the facts, all the facts, from the WT or Awake? Why not more of the info Seven posted, and less, "The Genuine Panama Hat, made in Ecuador?" (May 8, 2001).

  Sorry Seven, now back to your regularly scheduled topic.

  i strongly encourage you to take the time and see 'the point' for yourself.. .

  you begin to sign and then you see that the number of pints of blood to be taken is empty.

  Completely unrealistic fantasy.

  So it shouldn't bother me at all.

  But it does, since I know the evil perpetrated on the world by that thinking. SICK, SICK, SICK!!!

  Go grow a concience. People of the nations have them by nature, see if you can borrow one of theirs.

  it means that within relatively few years we will witness the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end.".

  the lead article "the finest work on earth" in the october 1967 km (p. 1) continued the theme of preaching with a sense of urgency:.

  the sense of urgency was effective in getting some students to make a decision.

  Alan,

  I was going to see if others had noticed the "study n' drop" em policy that came out with the "knowledge" book. I remember it irked me seriously when it was instituted (not that I had any studies, or that much chance of getting a study, lol), because of how ridiculous and callous it was. I remember it was softened pretty quickly. I can't help but think this was one case where the society got a ton of complaints and actually responded.

  Eminem and censorship

  when my son came home from the meeting, he told me that they were told not to listen to eminem because (in his words) he's bad.. i can not stomach the kind of censorship that is put upon people...aren't these things a personal choice or at least a parents choice.

  by censoring everything they make a child go behind their parents back and close the line of communcation which could result in some real harm.

  i listened to eminem with my son and whilst some of the things are very offensive it was quite clear to me that although he was talking in the first person, he was actually expressing what he thought societal problems were,(no one think bob marley actually son the sheriff do they??).

  'Eminem was simply verbalizing the mumblings of society as a whole.'

  Or as he put it:

  Windows tinted on my ride when I drive in it
  So when I rob a bank, run out and just dive in it
  So I'll be disguised in it
  And if anybody identifies the guy in it
  I'll hide for five minutes
  Come back, shoot the eyewitness
  Then fire at the private eye hired to pry in my business
  Die, bitches! Pass this brass pest
  Cause Puffy's lucky I didn't blast his ass yet
  If I ever gave a fuck, I'd shave my nut
  stuck my dick inbetween my legs and cluck
  You motherfuckin chickens ain't brave enough
  to say the stuff I say, so this tape is shut
  Shit, half the shit I say, I just make it up
  To make you mad so kiss my white naked ass
  And if it's not a rapper that I make it as
  I'ma be a fuckin rapist in a Jason mask

  Must be the other half of the shit he says that "verbalizes the mumbling of society as a whole". I guess we should count our blessings? Then again, did Charles Manson kill those people, or just influence others to do it?

  Children can, from a very early date, clearly distinguish fact from fantasy

  I won't argue that.

  The problem is that music is not presented (or viewed, by most anyone I know) as fantasy. It seems to me that music is the closest many people ever get to philosophy.

  W/o getting into the nature vs. nurture discussion too deeply,
  children are products of the influences that touch their lives in their formative years. Look around, you'll see that. I am also quite aware that the 14 thru 18 year range are VERY formative years. I see it as plainly as the data from any study trying to prove any theory.

  We have to raise our children in the real gooey messy world, not the cold sterile environment of scholars who study media and pedagogics. And many of those kids are raised in warm, loving, accepting environments where hate music can be a mild rebellion and "just be good for the beat".

  I don't worry about those kids too much. Unfortunately, those kids are not the majority.

  Ps. TR, chill man, you're going to pop a vein. It's just another way to play with words and music. You sound like a GB member who was overly influenced by doing research on hate music!

  LOL at Jan:

  That is not a fact. It is an assertion

  I was afraid someone would call me on that, lol. OK, I don't have data to back it up, but you know if I go looking I will find it. Besides, just because I simply asserted it doesn't mean that it isn't a fact.

  I probably won't go looking for the data though, just to try and win an argument. Some things you just know, you know? Anecdote and all that. Like, in spite of Jans assertation otherwise, humans have a right to live their lives w/o fear. Hell, just to piss off Jan, lets say that humans have a God given right to live their lives w/o fear. Certain disclaimers no doubt apply, but please, no one supply.

  Germans in the 1930s really feared the Jews. Make no mistake about it: they were.

  Is that a fact?

  I am waiting.

  
  OK, now I'm really confused. I could of sworn that waiting is an American female with a penchant for quoting.

  A question to all participants, I am curious, for all the slippery slope argumentation, is censorship one area where it really applies?

  The simple fact is that people ARE influenced to varying degrees by what they listen to.

  The even simpler fact is that children are FAR more influenced by what they listen to.

  So think about that the next time you support eminem, you god-damn, piece of shit, fucking morons.

  Have a nice day you liberal, moist brained pussies.
