i grew up with vinyl records and i found the sound great except for the scratches and dust on the records.
today, i think that no one plays vinyl records anymore or just threw them all away.. if you take away the dust and scratches of the vinyl disc, did you prefer the sound of the vinyl records compared to the sound of the digital cd's we have today?.
here is an article on the subject.. http://www.howstuffworks.com/question487.htm
Yes, CDs usually sound much better than records. But that's because records are highly affected by dust, scratches, clicks, pops, etc.
Something to consider: most CDs are made (mastered) from analog sources.
The point is that analog audio (which includes vinyl records) can sound better than digital CDs. But in reality vinyl usually gets scracted and dusty so will sound worse in that respect. And no one is suggesting people throw away CDs and go back to vinyl!
Heather, I can understand your predicament. My wife's brother is only 17 and has to play the JW game, but once he moves out he's going to leave the organization. Best of luck!
Welcome Heather! Share a bit about your story with us when you feel up to it. Are you still in the organization? Freshly out? Or have you been out a while?
yup, there's an aztec in my house: she's here.....drove all the way up from detroit yesterday.
she sure is good with directions, and called me from the very place i knew i could find her.
anyways, i won't say much, but she's alive and well....tired of course, but hung out where i work for awhile (the tavern/bar where i work), and then she went for something to eat, then walked around the streets of toronto.
Aztec, sounds like an adventurous weekend! Nothing like getting lost in your home town... no better way to learn your way around, I guess.
i've got it here on aol, but it won't send as an attatchment whilst i'm in the forum.....what am i doing wrong?
touch wood
pun intended? lol
do you believe that there is life right now on other planets?
how can we be alone since the universe is endless?
if god does exist, why did he create all of that, if man will never go there?
Christianity will be challenged like never before
Agreed. But I bet it will be handled something like this: Earth is god's "chosen" planet... other life forms don't have souls... or something like that.
As someone who believes evolution is a fact, I think there must be intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. Will we find it any time soon? I don't know.
jesika and i have been plotting.
when: saturday, july 5, beginning at 4:00 p.m. (should give enough time for the hangovers from the 4th celebrations to subside) .
where: our house (pm me for the address and directions) in murphy, texas (not as far as you'd think, honest!
So where are the pictures?!
my brother visited us today, and told us an interesting experience he had last week in france.
he was in the netherlands on business, and they went to france for a few days to visit friends of one of his business contacts, who was the high mayor of a french town, i cannot pronounce, or remember.
one evening this man began to rant and rave about the jehovah's witnesses in his town and how much he hates them.
I'm guessing that the mayor has simply had really bad experiences with JWs in one way or another. That would explain his "hatred" towards them (or more correctly the WTS). There are many people here that have a hatred towards the WTS because of the stuff it has pulled.

Scooby, what about the WTS which admonishes members to hate others?

My guess is that he's probably intolerant of anyone that doesn't fit his criteria.
Yeah, he's probably intolerant of groups that protect pedophiles, groups that use mind control, etc. Boy, he really should work on that.
