  What book(s) are you reading?

  2. friends

  i just finished a 'historical novel' titled "confessions of a pagan nun", by kate horsley.

  this is a story about a woman who grew up in ireland during the late 5th and early 6th century, at the time when christianity was beginning to displace the older pagan customs.

  the story tells how gwynneve is raised according to the beliefs of her ancestors, and the conflicts she experiences as she gradually comes into contact with those claiming to represent the christian faith.

  Didnt they say something about once we all have everlasting life, and have lived for thousands of years, jehovah would stop sexual reproduction in man so as not to overpopulate the paradise. I kinda remeber they were quite vague about the details on how people would all of a sudden stop sha**ing. Was that an actual teaching or was I just I tripping during that bookstudy?

  have any of you ever had a successful appeal to a disfellowshipping?

  I was told that it was within my rights to make any appeal, but if the appeal commitee agreed with the original commitee, then it would be almost impossible for me to be reinstated at a later date. Being a child, I didnt realise I was being bullied into not appealing because they had such a flimsy case against me.

  I've asked the very same question on this and other forums and the only real answer I get is no one knows.

  Check out http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/56025/1.ashx . For a more involved answer, check out beliefnet.com where I asked the same question and got well over 100 replies, which include photos of many of the flashy buildings the Cultower have bought.

  I was asked this last night. Fortunately, I didnt bring any in, but I sure would feel guilty now if I did.

  Kid Rock

  by Sentinel in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  this is just my opinion, but i watched his performance last night, and cringed while he sang off key this was the first time i'd heard him perform, and about all he could do in key was scream.

  guess that just isn't my thing.

  i'll take the original recording artist any time.

  Personally, I'd take Chris Cornell's screams over Kid's Rocks anyday.

  Did any of you check out his solo album? He released it just after soundgarden split. Well worth a purchase.

  Children and the Troof

  2. friends

  in relation to the "six year old" post by countryguy, i wanted to write about children and the troof.. the jws have absolutely nothing to offer a child.

  all they have is books.

  young children don't like reading books in their spare time, or can barely read at all.

  Being a Dubchild hindered my reading progress. I hated reading the crap they produced, but wasnt allowed to read anything else. From the age of 8, I would spend most Saturdays (after field ministry of course) reading SCIFI and horror novels in our local library. Man, that place was a sanctuary for me. Only when I felt brave, I would sneak them home. Often I was caught and given a lashing, but it was worth it.

  .A question for the guys about VASECTOMIES!!!

  would you recommend it?.

  i guess they want to make sure that i am sure!.

  I had it done about three years ago. It really is no big deal. The pre-op chat with the doctor/nurse is very depressing, especially when they ask you questions like "What would you do if both your Children died?" Other than that, it was a painless operation.

  Forgot to mention that the day after the OP, your nuts will double in size, and your knob will look even smaller than it normally does.

  IMHO, the NPG music club is a waste of money. Where are all the "free" CD's I should have recieved? Like you, I am a big prince fan who also finds some of his current lyrics (Rainbow children, One Nite Alone) very preachy. However, as far as the music goes, there still isnt anyone who can come close to the stuff he's now producing. I doubt you'll get a refund (I'm still waiting for NPG to deliver my copy of Crystal Ball), so just enjoy the stuff that he's currently producing.

  I saw his One Nite Alone gig last year, and even though he doesnt swear or do any of his X-rated tracks, it was still the best gig I had seen that year...hands down.
