Trans-Siberian Orchestra

since being allowed to celebrate christmas my family and i have been making traditions for ourselves.

one of the things we do every year is see the trans-siberian orchestra when their christmas show comes through.

for those of you not familiar with it... a lot of it is classical music played on electric guitars and electric violins... some of it is original... and most, if not all, is very good.

not sure if this is true or not... but i found it amusing and it reminded me of some of the amusing brithish/american banter ;).

don't take it personally, it's just a joke.

sometimes it does take a rocket scientist!

On the flip side... a question for those not raised as a jw

okay, someone recently asked if those raised as jws felt they would have gone for it as adults.

my question is for those of you not raised as a jw, what convinced you that it really was "the truth"?

ive often wondered and come upon my own theories as to why people join this religion, but i find that when friends ask me what makes people join i cant really answer in a way that they understand.. jackie
