I can't get in to A&E to watch it. I mean, I can get IN but a search doesn't provide the actual program to view.
Anybody have a direct link?

ANDRE GAGNON has been called the French Canadian Mozart :)
What he is--is a romantique!
Listen to this highly evocative composition--and then head on over to YouTube and listen to the rest of his works.

Who is the mediator for jehovahs witnesses?
by atomant inlm getting conflicting advice.ls it the 144000 or jesus.l was always under the impression it was jesus.lf its the 144000 then when they pray the jw;s should be praying through the remnant not in jesus christs name but in the 144000;s name..

According to the latest (faux) doctrine...
The Bible was written only for the understanding of the anointed, the 'faithful slave'. However,only the Governing Body of the 'faithful slave' is in the central position of latter day 'prophet' and Jesus is THEIR mediator because they're his Bride.
The rest of us grab on to the coat tails of these (spiritual) Jews by doing every g-damn thing they tell us. -

Hey Doug!
"The book depicts mighty archangels and angels, such old friends of ours as Gabriel and Michael, alongside their diabolical counterparts. Enoch ranges through glorious heavens and burning hells."
No mention of burning hells comes to mind in the O.T. What is this referencing? -

Live 'as though' God is true and goodness is real? Why? Why not?
by TerryWalstrom inin the long run, goodness can be as real as we care to live it.
and if we live 'as though' god were as real as we once believed--how can we go wrong?let us think about this...what would happen if we were given a large amount of cash and we spent it on gifts for our loved ones but-- a knock at the door and the police are here!
that cash was counterfeit and those gifts must be confiscated...what then?good intentions are only that--intentions-- if there is no "there" there.when we were each others' brothers and sisters our love was real but the currency was counterfeit.

I like the idea of "taking stock" of Watchtower doctrines as opposed to investing in them.
They're bankrupt of ideas but the crash of 1975 didn't wipe them out because the rank and file held on to the worthless paper.
All those "rainbow" colored books Franz and Rutherford cranked out sit on so many bookshelves and with about as much useful teaching as you'd find on the Magic 8 ball. -

Yes, I say it like this:
"Do we love something because it is 'good' or is it only seen as 'good' because we love it?"
What we personally value can be a complicated set of internal calibrations.
The easy-to-understand Cause and Effect process goes off the rails at any point.
We may or may not be aware it happened.
The result can be called a Fetish. (Do you like to be spanked?)
Good and Bad in the context of Emotions is awkwardly complex.
Generally, our Values trigger (automatically) our Emotions.
(If we are afraid of snakes, we automatically jump and scream when we see a snake).
Now here it gets complicated! If we only THINK the garden hose is a snake--we still involuntarily jump and scream.
Our misconception / misperception of garden hose = snake may be a silly error but don't let us miss the important point: IT IS A DEEP SURVIVAL MECHANISM at work: that jump and scream.
Boo/Hiss and Yay/Hooray aren't as easy as all that to pin down.
Our sense of GOOD and BAD is rooted in our perception and training and peer support.
Some is voluntary and much is not.
If we live as though God were real...in a strong sense...we jump as though the garden hose were a snake. SAME PROCESS ? Not exactly.Why? Because we didn't happen upon God coiled next to our back door. Instead, we are pretending that jumping and screaming are actually good for us.
Is that ridiculous? Sure. -

Having previously married into a Jewish family (3 of my kids are Jewish by heritage not belief) I guess I always have some of the "never forget" always at the ready in my subconscious.

I don't know that this thing I've written is anything someone would want to read--considering the darkness you've mentioned. I posted it because I didn't know what else to do with it.
I thought maybe somebody else had a clue. I sure don't. :) -

Writing for me is a peculiar thing--not altogether self-directed. The above story started off on a whim with a firm (and abandoned) intention to be light-hearted and heading in the opposite direction. Well, it took the wheel and drove the other way! I became the passenger.
I have no idea where it came from or why it wanted to be written. But--there it is.
There it is. -

"It was particularly touching to listen to a whole repertory of Yiddish folk ballads, some of which were probably brought to the camp by Jewish parachutists from regions in the interior of the Soviet Union.
One night, while awaiting a parachute drop of Soviet weapons and equipment at an improvised airfield in the forests of Rudniki, this writer met partisans from the Vilna ghetto and, for the first time, heard them sing Zog nit keynmol az du geyst dem letstn veg (Never say that you have reached the final road). This song, by the Vilna poet and underground fighter Hirsh Glik, later became the general anthem of the Jewish partisans."
