It's almost lunch time so getting very hungry. So many foods I love. Greek, Italian, German, Vietnamese (the best I ever had was in Houston Texas) Mexican (the best was at Milly's in Texas, can't remember exactly where, but near Houston) the best Japanese was in Acapulco many years ago.

just a few: a good roast beef, cauliflower with white (bechamel) sauce with a bit of nutmeg and roast potatoes. Linguine with Pesto, Chicken and Shrimp and a glass of white wine, manicotti with ricotta and spinach, mousakka, chicken or pork souvlaki, chicken fahitas.

Pork chops with apple sauce and red cabbage

I'm the only one that likes that. Once a year I make the above or sourkraut with sausage and fried potatoes for me. Speaking of German food, does anyone have a recipe for hot potato salad?

Talking about European food, when I was little we used to eat eel. My mother would go to the market to buy them. They were kept live in barrels, so gross. I would never eat them now. My mother said I loved salted herring with raw onions. Strange child.

A few days ago I listened to this piece on a classical station. I was so moved by it, very Jewish and melancholy. I don't remember hearing it before as I have stayed clear of the movie Schindlers List, not sure if I could handle it. So I looked up some messianic music and found these. Hope you enjoy them.

TRAGEDY ; YOUNG JW MOTHER DIES AFTER GIVING BIRTH

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/7078455.stm .

a young mother has died after giving birth to twins, following claims that she had refused a blood transfusion because of her faith.

jehovah's witness, emma gough, 22, from telford, shropshire, gave birth on 25 october.

Guest with Questions

Such a tragedy. Two children growing up without a mother because of a mistranslation. It does seem to imply that a transfusion wouldn't have helped her. But we will never know. After reading the article I found this.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/790967.stm

Couldn't she, for her childrens sake, have taken the transfusion and afterwards repent and she would be re-instated? Or do most witnesses not realize this? Or is this old light?

Sad emo: thanks for the Delirious links. I hope to see them next fall in Houston Texas. My brother lives near by. I've never heard of Chris Cook but enjoyed it.

SuperficialLoon: I enjoyed that. Have you ever heard Liberia. I listened to Sibelius growing up so was familiar with the music before I even heard this version.

Everyone has different ways of worshipping and as long as it comes from the heart I doubt that God objects to certain music. The Jews were very exhuberant with their worship singing and dancing. I love the old hymns but I also love the contemporary gospel. I think each generation speaks to their generation. I grew up listening to rock music. I have no problem with younger people (such as my daughter) listening to this kind of music. It speaks to them unlike the old hymns.

Don't you just cherish our new-found freedom?

I've never been a witness (just my parents) but we're all in bondage whether we admit it or not, either through substance abuse, money, anger, greed, depression, hopelessness etc etc. I believe the only way toward freedom is through Jesus.

From the Delirious song Our God Reigns: The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree.

I don't know if this is the right version of Near the Cross you mentioned:

I haven’t posted for a while. Dealing with a personal issue and feeling at this time a bit too vulnerable to post. Hopefully in time I will but I do want to continue with this gospel thread. Thank you to those who have contributed and I hope that you will continue to do so. This gospel has helped me greatly getting through the really bad times. Maybe it will help someone else going through a difficult time. I trust in God that this issue will pass and I will come through it stronger and more loving (and maybe even a bit wiser?)

Frank Zappa on the coming 'Fascist Theocracy'. (1986)

by hillary_step in

jw
friends

apart from the comic value of this interview in which frank zappa presents his views on censorship, i found it interesting that he was mocked for suggesting that the us was set on a course that was leading to a 'fascist theocracy'.

this was recorded in 1986 so the quality is a little ragged, but the spirit shows through!.

Last week on another thread I provided this link regarding the Fairness Doctrine:

http://www.nysun.com/article/64242

I found this additional information. There's plenty more information on the net and you can make up your own mind if this is fair or not.

Free Speech/Nathan

by Guest with Questions in

jw
friends

i started this on another thread so a lot of it is in response to nathan's.. there is still free speech, even for christians.

a lot of people would like to take free speech away from christians; that we keep our mouths shut.

as americans, what do you think of the fairness doctrine that henry waxman wants to revive?

Guest with Questions

For the record this is what transpired between Nathan and me. I have no ill will against Nathan. I don’t even know him or anyone on this board really. I just had a problem with his comparison of Trevor’s hoax with God on this thread. I probably shouldn’t have said that I wished he hadn’t posted what he did on this thread. Maybe I should have said that I wish people wouldn’t use this thread as a platform for their Atheistic beliefs. But I think no matter how I had phrased it I would have been pounced on. I feel that I am being accused of personally attacking Nathan because I said that I initially thought that Nathan was an insensitive clod. I apologize for saying that about him. But what about him saying that as believers we believe in an entity that doesn’t exist, that we are superstitious? That is okay. Am I being oversensitive? I probably am. Should I really care. My faith should stand with or without criticism. After this I’m gone for the day but I will try to respond to those who replied.

Nathan: There was a huge (and very humane) emotional commitment to the artificial entities who were presented. People stopped believing when they were forced to confront the cold hard fact that there was NO objective evidence supporting the existence of these entities - no one who could say they actually ever heard any voice other than Trevor's, no one who had ever met anyone other than Trevor, no photographs other than Trevor, no public records other than Trevor.
To me, a die-hard atheist, its kind of like God, isn't it?

GwQ: Nathan: I wish you wouldn't use this thread as a platform for your Atheistic beliefs. You have a choice to not believe but at the same time allow others the choice of believing without resorting to denigrating the persons beliefs.
As far as exposing Trevor's hoax you could have been a bit more tactful, more empathetic. Instead you just bulldozed your way in while everyone was reading, unaware of this hoax. Better yet I feel that you should have allowed the Forum Assistants to handle it, but that's my opinion.

Nathan: So I guess I'm allowed to think what I wish as long as i keep my mouth shut?
I have the same right to free speech that you do,GwQ.
I will exercise my right to offer rationality as a substitute for superstition at every opportunity.
You are still free to believe superstition. Linda would approve.

GwQ:Hi Scully: Thanks for responding. I didn't read your Online Imposter post. I think if Nathan had just stated that this was a hoax without the picture it would have done the job. When I first saw the picture I thought Nathan was just an insensitive clod. I still think he handled it wrong. When Ozzie started this thread I didn't clue in because I took for granted that "Trevor" was sincere. It's only after the fact that I realize that you were indirectly trying to warn us. For me it's time to put it all behind me.

GwQ: Nathan: I didn’’t tell you to keep quiet. I said I wished you didn’’t use the thread as a platform for your views. I didn't think the analogy was correct because Trevor's was a hoax and I don't believe that God is a hoax. My thread became longer than I expected so I'm cutting it and starting a new one. It is about free speech.

Scully: Oh, and could we please take the off-topic "offended Christians vs. atheists who have an unpleasant opinion, in the opinion of offended Christians" comments to Guest with Question's thread

With me starting a new thread instead of continuing with this one did I come across as arrogant? Do Atheists not get offended by the unpleasant opinions of Christians? I just felt because we were starting to go off topic with free speech that it was appropriate to start a new thread.
