  i have opened thesite to relate this part of my day.. yes the jw are such happy people.

  yeah right... my wife has come home after an extended sunday meeting in a foul mood.

  to be around her is like feeling your way through barbed wire.

  Stuckinarut's theory is spot on I believe. JW's have been preconditioned to think negatively of any inactive marriage mate's that active JW's have. The believing mate IS looked at as a martyr for sure. And looked at in a negative fashion.

  I'm looked at that way from most of my extended JW family - looked at as a " threat " to their alleged " spirituality " . That might be what you're experiencing as well Zeb. Good comment Stuckinarut. Hang in there Zeb- we're here for you. Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  And then the Mojo album ends with this great song where the solo guitar parts almost remind you of Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin- I swear. Tom was at a high point here indeed.

  Another very reflective tune by Petty off the Mojo album. This song actually got me bawling like a baby as I was driving to my son's the other day. Very poignant lyrics.

  Wanted to post several songs that Petty did on albums in in 2010 and 2014 which were really good, but folks might not know about. These first 4 songs are off of the album titled Mojo from 2010. Great album I highly recommend it .

  Indeed Dagney, very sad. He had just performed up in Sacramento a little over a month ago as well. I chatted with folks who went to the concert who are deeply saddened as well. Monday was a rough day for everybody with the Vegas killings and Tom dying. I cannot even fathom the anguish that all those families of injured or deceased victims are going through. The only thing that helps me get through it is listening to music. Think I'll listen to my Tom Petty CD's tomorrow driving an hour and a half to work. Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  whatever it is it just another nut case who was able to get a high power gun to kill people.

  Another sad and tragic evidence that gun regulation laws need to be seriously addressed by congress. And not just on behalf of the NRA lobbyists who get some of these jokers elected into congress. Needs to be more background checks on mental health records. But even then- I do acknowledge that guys like this shooter wedge between the cracks as they don't seem to fit the profile of a serial killer who would lose his shit and kill 59 people.

  Problem is , it's like plugging the holes on the Titanic- just when you think you're identifying nut jobs who kill this way, thousands of others pop up out of the woodwork like him and wreck havoc and destruction on innocent victims. All we can do is be alert, protect each other, our friends and family, be vigilant in our own geographical area against this type of psycho behavior. This jerk has torn apart hundreds of familes lives forever. Disgusting
