  2. friends

  recently the rock and roll world declared that robert plant is the all time greatest vocalist .

  i think i agree with this but i also think guys like elvis and paul mcartney diserve a place in that catagory .

  who else do you think would qualify for mention here?

  meadow said Sheryl Crow, and I kind of thoought she was just 'okay' until I saw a clip of her w Pavarotti, and she was great.

  Male vocalists....c'mon, we all know Bob Dylan is the best! (Extreme Sarcasim here).

  Scully, don't you know that sisters are to take no initiatives?

  My wife claims that one time she went to an elder and mentioned that the Hall property needed some weeding and volunteered her services. She said the elder told her that the building committee would need to consider it.

  do beer commercials cross the line?

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was hoping to enjoy the championship game between the eagles and the bucs.. but no more than 5 or 10 minutes into the game, a budweiser ad comes on that uses a very obvious double entendre (a conversation between a man and woman that revolves around the very large sweatshirt she is wearing.

  she makes comments like, "small ones are ok, but big ones just feel better.

  " the commercial closes with her remarking about his "small hands".).

  LOL@ Robdar, good one.....

  I have seen the one mentioned at the outset. And, of course, the other one getting lots of play and attention is the one of the two babes fighting over "tastes great" and "less filling", ending up in a mud-wrestling shot.

  Hey Dana, I was very impressed by the Bucs today. Though I did pick the Eagles to win, the Bucs weathered that early 'storm' of a quick 7-0 deficit and really took over the game. Of course, the week before, they carved up my 49ers, so they are no doubt the NFC's elite right now. Enjoy the Gruden, er, Super Bowl.....I have a feeling, very preliminary right now, that the Bucs are going to win.

  Does Shunning Work?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does shunning a person who quit going to the meetings make him want to go back?

  well that's the reason why they shun people.

  they think you'll go back if you're shunned.

  JH, though perhaps not in the Aid book, the subject is, to my knowledge, discussed elsewhere in WTS publications, though usually under the topic of disfellowshipping.

  Does it work? Well, in a way, yes, it works - as a strong-arm tactic. It's obviously a way of depriving people of an essential human need until they see no recourse but to rejoin the group.

  They Did Me a Big Favor by DFing Me

  by onacruse in

  2. friends

  even though i'd accumulated 20 years of doubts and disappointments, i fought my last dfing tooth-and-nail.

  if they hadn't dfd me, i'd still be "in" mentally and psychologically.

  heck, i was still "in" for another year and a half after, even though i thought i was out.
