a few days back i started a thread called "jw's and mormons", which seemed to get a few replies.

however, whenever i tried to open the thread i kept getting one of those horrible "error" screens that seemed to have been plaguing the forum recently.

now it seems as if the thread has gone for good.. the original questions i asked were along the lines of.

Really sorry about this!

A few days back I started a thread called "JW's and Mormons", which seemed to get a few replies. However, whenever I tried to open the thread I kept getting one of those horrible "Error" screens that seemed to have been plaguing the forum recently. Now it seems as if the thread has gone for good.

The original questions I asked were along the lines of

"Apart from the obvious things like springing up from the USA in the 19th century, going door-to-door to try and gain new converts, claiming to be the only true religion etc, does anybody know of any other intersting similarities between the JW and Mormon faiths?"

and

"Have any ex-JW's here ever had any interesting doorstep conversations with Mormons? Either while out in service spreading the Watchtower's ~~false prophecies, lies and hatred~~, erm, Good news, or while on the receiving end of an uninvited visit from the Church of Latter Day Saints"

If you have answered before, and would happily be willing to reply again, I'd be most grateful!

thanks

in light of recent suspicions about some here possibly being watchtower moles you are all required to take a test and meet membership challenges.

have been using morpheus for a couple of years now, and hasn't been too bad at all, got about 400 tracks download.

since gettiing aol broadband, the diversity seems to have diminished a bit, either i'm on the wrong dsl provider or morpheus isn't as good as it used to be.

the one i was on previous (can't remember the name now) went totally pearshaped after it got served a writ for using copyrighted material.....anyway, know of any other good music file sharing sites?

Nothing beats the warm sound of vinyl. In fact, I've been buying the vinyl versions of my favourite albums, and finding that they often sound warmer than the CD versions. (Depeche Mode's "Violator" and Cocteau twins "Garlands" being great examples)

Also if anyone has a vinyl copy of Nine Inch Nails' "Pretty Hate Machine", Skinny Puppy's "Remission", "Cuckoo" by Curve or "Pornography" by The Cure that they want to donate, you'll be my best freind forever....

i just phoned my daughter who is 23 years old, and she is graduating from college in toronto this june.

i thought because there were some great flight offers that i would be spontaneous and be there for her graduation and just do a mother daughter thing of celebrating.

well i just phoned her, to tell her that i would like to be there, and she hits me with the bombshell that my parents will be there and staying with her.
