  Dismember...In one 3 week trip I rode across Canada from East to West and made the return trip through the US. Rode in the Canadian Rockies, National Glacier Park, Yellowstone Park, Mount Rushmore...11000 km trip.

  Sounds incredible NVR! Did you go alone? I did and it was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. A life changing event infact.

  I taught jazz guitar for 9 years. My most satisfying student was a 55 year old British Telecom executive that dabbled a bit with some country guitar albeit very poorly and only in his bedroom.

  A few months later from a lesson a week how now plays standards in public jazz jam sessions in various places with a new found confidence and joy.

  There are not many things on this earth that can compare with the joy of playing musical instrument well.

  What would be your favorite job if you could do anything.?

  by new hope and happiness in

  2. relationships

  on the basis that most of us realise the w.t wasnt really the best " job" or way to spend our days, it would be fun to find out what people would really have liked to have done with there lifes and if this is still possible.

  or maybe its not even a very realistic ambition just a dream.

  in my dreams i stay at home all day and make a living from being a professional artist.maybe i need a phycholgist?.

  I Have A Problem With the Shepherding Kids article on Cedars Blog

  by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  go ahead and rip me to shredds, been in the elder's backroom sooo many times i'am use to it.. "cedar's blog" is usually really good, but i see a error being created here:.

  "this particular article overtly urges parents to gain access to the minds of their children in order to influence their life decisions.... frequently talking with your children gives you greater access to their thoughts and feelings.

  that, in turn, will help you to have a greater influence on the decisions they make in life.

  “Frequently talking with your children gives you greater access to their thoughts and feelings. That, in turn, will help you to have a greater influence on the decisions they make in life.” – Watchtower Sep. 15, 2014, page 19.

  That just sounds so cold, detached, calculating and manipulative and only to be done for the sole purpose of influencing them along organisational thinking lines. They also make out talking to your children sound like some unnatural activity that parents are utterly unacquainted with. Don't all parents everywhere talk to their children?

  Questioning the Big Bang Theory

  by Rod P in

  2. bible

  but halton arp's continuing research will forever change the direction of astronomy.

  or do our observations of nature show things that a theory says are impossible?

  gamow had argued that the stars' temperatures are too low to create elements heavier than helium.

  "You are not allowed to come to any conclusions yourself??" Are they mental!!

  Those in charge and leading the org including all past presidents and the governing body have been wrong on everything for 130 years.. Yet these elders say they are right and to be trusted and relied upon with your life their interpretations of scripture? They get their direction from Jesus and Jehovah???

  Manipulative deceptive little creeps.

  i am not much of a reader as i have two many distractions, but i fancy a challenging read, so please list any book that has changed your entire world view on everything.

  i remember as a teenager buying at a yard sale, norman vincent peales " the power of positive thinking" and at the time that had a big impact on me.

  but i am a little bit more in to " realistic positive thinking" now..
