What is Innocence & How Do You Define It?
by dh ini've heard the word 'innocent' used quite a lot in things on the board, and i wondered what everyones view was on it was.
we speak of innocence in so many different ways, children are innocent, victims of crime are 'innocent', civillian casulaties in a war are innocent victims.. we speak of child abuse as stealing innocence, does anyone care to expand on that definition of the word?.
at what point does a regular person cease to be innocent?.

Classical Composers & Movie Soundtracks
by dh ini love all kinds of music and mostly listen to classic fm when i drive in the uk, being away a lot i have to rely on my .mp3 collection most of the time, or tune in online.. anyway i recently discovered a composer by the name of ludovico einaudi and i think his music is absolutely awesome, listening to it is like learning to breathe again, it's beautiful.
anyway i like a few other composers of contemporary classical type music such as john williams who does mostly movie soundtracks and a few others, and i wondered if anyone else out there was really into any contemporary classical music, movie compositions or full on classical compositions or anything like that?.
who are your favourite composers and what are your favourite movie soundtracks?

What is The Elders Index???
by dh in.
i was recently scanning through some wt letters and i came across something interesting regarding the elders index.. basically the letter outlined that the new index was to be kept safe, a copy given to each elder, but otherwise not to be copied with a special emphasis on not putting it into a computer in any form.. from what i read the index is a document that each elder can keep one copy of, containing all the policies etc, and how to deal with things, and it wasn't referred to by any other name than 'the index', which is why i think it might be different to the elders book.. anyways this letter went on to tell criticise elder bodies for not using the index properly, saying that many elder bodies write to the society with questions on policy which are covered in the elders index, if they used it right, basically it's an efficiency thing, they want the elders to use the index instead of wasting bethel time by writing in, when most policy issues are covered in said index.. has anyone heard of this document/documents, the elders index?
