i will vote for ritchie blackmoore because:.
1.he has excellent guitar technic.
2.he plays with passion and feels every single note he hits on the freds.
All those mentioned so far are awesome! I do have a few more..
Vito Bratta - White Lion, Michael Schenker - UFO & MSG, Ric Emmit - Triumph, Kim Mitchel - Max Webster, Steve Vai,
The number one in my opinion would have to be whoever is playing at the moment as they are all great.
i find this question another i hate to think of!!.
i view myself through others which is a reality of zilch so it is bad karma for me to consider it!.
maybe its circumstantial of many life events but i'll bet exjws feel the power of the above dynamic as a negative force for humanitarian ectics and personal self worth!
I am a nice guy, I am funny, and I care for others. I am one who always thinks the best about people and gives them the benefit of the doubt. But I still don't know if I like me. Maybe if I get to know me better?
mine was great !!!.
until i started telling jw's about the united nations thangy.. .
i immediately began losing friends at the rate of 3 or 4 a day until there were no more..
It was and is totaly conditional.
"Et tu Dantes!"
i'm a ubm, and the wife went to the assembly.
she didn't discuss the obesity issue with me, but my mother-in-law is obese.
so i'm just wondering how that would make her feel?
I had a CO in the Florida area in the 80's a Bro. Crist. I took him and his wife out to dinner w/ y wife and my father. It was at a buffet, and two times I went back to the food line. Both times he quoted a scripture. When I got home I looked up the scriptuers and they were both about gluttony.
I was pissed, also he nor his wife said thank you for the dinner. By the time of his next visit I was fading fast, the elders insisted on my meeting with him. I told them I had no respect for him after the way he treated me. But, I met with him and he started out by sayung "Thanks again for the dinner last time I was here." I replied 'What do you mean again, you never said thank you the first time. And you would not be saying it now if they did not tell you that I said something." He ofcourse tried to deny that the elders spoke about it. To which I said "Now you are guilty of lying, and you need to confess to some elders."
You can probably guess how the rest of the meeting went.
easter is coming soon and i am so excited!
i have not celebrated easter in over 17 years.
what a relief to be able to enjoy the worship of jesus and to be so grateful and thankful for his sacrafice.
If you mean eat a chocolate bunny the yes!
why does the watchtower society approve of 'corban' in relation to sick or aged relatives or spiritual brothers and sisters?.
example: the april 15 watchtower article "isolated but not forgotten" talks about the need to visit "our dear" brothers and sisters in .
nursing homes.
Which issue is this article in - the one for the public on the one for the dubs only? That should tell you if they really maen it or are just trying to look good. Then again if it is in the private issue it is just something else for the f/r to do if they should happe to find some free time.
an article just out this afternoon said the following.
note especially the second paragraph about jws: .
for some groups, their relatively steady number of adherents over the years hides a remarkable amount of coming and going.
I would contend that most of the new converts are really born ins. If they were really making such tremendous progress with new adult converts then more people would be aware of their strange beliefs. If the average r/f members would hold off on having children and getting married I would bet their numbers would free fall, wouldn't that be nice?
so, i leave from new mexico.
i have $2500, a prius, and two weeks.
how far can i go, and how many of you can i meet?
Don't miss Mickey Mouse here in Orlando
im in bed trying to get shut eye and just cant because of this repeating question that i have in my head.
i know what the answer is to the question, but i need to hear it from the horses mouth.
so in my 30th hour of being awake i get the courage to dial 411 and call my father whos an elder that i havent spoken to for 10 years.
Some times we just know something is wrong to it's core and we try so many ways to express it and we over anolize it and make too much of things. Then something is said so simply that we just sit back and say.... Wow! It's that simple.
Cognac said "All sins are forgiven when we die". We all know this, but in all the threads/discussions about dfing and shunning, I never caught this simple truth before. A JW will shun even a family member for an entier life time and the moment the person dies their sins are forgiven, so the shunning was for naught. If they treated that person as a person how much more both their lives could have been enriched.
Take it a step further, if someone is df'ef and their JW family member shunns them, they that person dies (Sins forgiven) Don't the JW still refer to that person in a negative light? So if God forgives the sins they by what reight can the JW still hold that person accountable? I know they don't need a reason but I'm just thinking.
Thanks Cognac,
