Help! Spanish language materials needed for potential WTS convert
by M.J. inanyone have any suggestions on effective spanish language audio/video/web materials to deter a spanish-speaking christian lady from continuing her study with the jws?
the jws have been visiting her for 3 or 4 months, but the indoctrination has not yet kicked in, apparently.
according to my sources, she "loves jesus" but was hurt by some people in her local church.

Hey all you musicians out there, I've got an idea...
by Cognitive_Dissident inso in reading various posts, it's apparent that there are quite a few musicians who post on this board.
here's my idea, anyone interested in recording a track or two, and then sending it as a wav file to some of the others, who could then add there own tracks and send it back?
it could go from one person to the next, to the next, etc., or it could go out to a bunch of people to see the variety of creative responses to the same original track.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being...
by Cognitive_Dissident inso i'm reading milan kundera's the unbearable lightness of being at the moment, and i just had to share a few of the passages that stood out to me today.
i would like to preface all of this by saying that i am not calling anyone a communist, ok?
the reason i included some background and history is so the passages from the book will not be out of context and cause misinterpretation.
