I like that song they did called "Baby Ran"
....no wait, that was 54-40. Nevermind.
I can tolerate REM, but I won't go out and buy any of their music. Pop song is okay, but that's probably because I don't hear it regularly. I remember when "What's the Frequency Kenneth" came out, and I thought it was the stupidest song I'd ever heard, uh huh.
I guess the answer is no, I'm not an REM fan. The singer from 54-40 sounds identical, and their songs are way more catchy. I wouldn't mind going to see them, and I've been thinking about picking up some of their albums.

REM show last night... my critique
by dawg inin art, there can be no wrong opinions, we like what we like and have to offer no explanation for what we like and/or do not like.
that said... my take on last night's rem concert at lakewood amphitheater.
ok, so i'm an athenian, that means i'm supposed to love all things athens, georgia is about; but i've never been a big rem fan... in fact, when i was offered front row tickets given by the band themselves, i really didn't want to go.

No, but I had Present Day! Unfortunately, the presents always sucked. And I never got presents from my worldly relatives on that day.

When Disfellowshipping extends outside the KH; shunning that never ends
by Layla33 ini was talking about this the other day to a friend that is an attorney for abused children and we started discussing strange family practices and how they affect children.
it was during that conversation that i remembered something i hadn't thought about in years - when i was 12 years old my step-father and mother tried to practice a form of shunning (disfellowshipping) in the family.
of course it wasn't my mother's idea, it was my neurotic mentally deranged stepfather that decided because my mother and i had disagreed about something in a silly judicial meeting, that i was to be shunned from the family.

Six months? I could see a JW doing this to their kid for an hour just to teach them what being disfellowshipped is like, but six months? That's awful.

BAD JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES: Were YOU One Of Them?
by minimus inwere you really not considered a good little witness?
.
were you one of the "bad" ones that everyone was cautioned about?.

I was marked as 'bad association'. My mother was pissed when another mother said she didn't want her son associating with me.
It's funny, instead of encouraging me, they ALL avoided me. Having nobody talk to me is what helped push me out of the org. I wasn't welcomed there, so why should I be there? -

Unbaptized Publisher.
I remember my Bible Study Conductor told me how important and serious the dedication step is, and that we have to tell Jehovah that we will devote our lives to serving him. That struck me the wrong way. Basically, I'm telling Jehovah that I want to be his slave for the rest of my life. I couldn't do it. I didn't like being a slave for ANYBODY, and becoming a slave for Jehovah seemed to have no benefits to me (except everlasting life). My life was already hell, and I didn't need it to be more hellish. Therefore, I decided to put off my baptism for the time being while I contemplated being a slave for the rest of my life, INCLUDING being a slave in the new system of things.
I eventually decided that dying at Armageddon was better than living as a slave. -

- "finding a tape that still works is the hard part."
I fix all my own tapes. Finding one in perfect condition is quite rare. I usually have to replace the splice, replace the pressure pads, and sometimes break out a piece of plastic that was *supposed* to prevent tape jamming, but actually made it worse. I can't remember the last time I had an 8-track get eaten on me, and I play them quite regularly.
- "How many 8 track titles were ever released in true 4 tracks-per-channel sound, anyway."
Here's a list of all the known ones:

Any other audiophiles from the 1970s have quad equipment?
