So sad to hear singer/songwriter Lhasa de Sela has died at age 37
by mamochan13 ini just heard today that llasa de sela died on new year's day of breast cancer, and the news has made me profoundly sad.. i first heard this amazing woman sing when she released her debut album, la llorona in 1997. although she made montreal her home she was actually born in the u.s. she was well-known in certain circles, but her music is worthy of a much wider audience.
hopefully more people will discover her incredible talent, now unfortunately lost to us.. too many wonderful people have been cut off too soon by cancer, not just incredible musicians like llasa and eva cassidy.. one of my favourites, el desierto: http://www.trilulilu.ro/juliaagripina/7ca416d4bb2fcb.

Testing what you believe
by mamochan13 ina news editorial i read this morning regarding protests/banning of the books golden compass from the his dark materials trilogy (soon to also be a movie) got me thinking about testing faith.
these books are apparently an answer to c.s.
lewis's chronicles of narnia, presenting an athiest perspective to lewis's "overtly christian" one.. as a jw i used to like the scripture about the boreans who daily tested their faith by "carefully examining the scriptures daily to see if these things were so" acts 17:11. in retrospect now, of course, i wonder how it is possible to take that attitude and still remain a blind follower, although apparently my borean-like approach freed me!.

link with supposed Haitian "president" holding JW book
by mamochan13 inmy mom forwarded this to me via a niece (who is busy forwarding all kinds of haiti reports).
supposedly it's the president of haiti making a plea for his country while holding a jw book, but it's not the president (preval).
some are saying it's a community worker from france.

A Journey without Steve
by mamochan13 in...is still a pretty good trip.
but how i wish steve had been there.. enjoyed a journey concert tonight, but sans my favourite male singer of all time - steve perry.
i rarely go to concerts, so this was a treat in itself.

how did i miss all this about the phelps family, the "most hated" psychos who sound exactly like jws in their beliefs?
they are just more vocal about it.. been watching the bbc video series, absolutely horrible.
