Rutherford's smear campaign (a must read)
by Leolaia inthere has been some interest recently about the moyle case, and how it may have set a precident in what became the society's disfellowshipping policy.
in july 1939, the chief legal counsel of the watchtower bible & tract society, olin r. moyle, resigned from his position in a protest over conditions at bethel and rutherford's mistreatment of workers.
he did not want to continue living under those conditions and he felt he could effect positive change for his brothers by taking such a stand.

Why the Memorial Is Held on the Wrong Day
by Leolaia intonight on the evening of april 18, 2011, observant jews worldwide will celebrate passover seder, a night "different from all other nights".
the watchtower society annually schedules the memorial for jehovah's witnesses on a date that is supposed to coincide with the jewish observance of passover, as it would have been reckoned during second temple times (in particular, in the first century ad during the life of jesus).
this year the memorial was observed last night, the evening of april 17. the two religious observances are thus a day out of synth, at least this year.

by Leolaia inthis thread is very simple.
post youtube vids of your favorite songs released in 2010 (whether as a track on an album, or a single, or as a video, debuted on the radio or tv, or what not).
it could be of any genre, whatever you like, the only rule is that it has to be a recently released song.

Jackie Evancho (wunderkind singer)
by Leolaia ini haven't seen any threads on the board about jackie evancho, unlike the many i saw when susan boyle was on britain's got talent, so i thought i'd share this for our friends across the pond who may not have been following america's got talent.
and like susan boyle she was the clear favorite going into the finals, but unexplicably wound up as #2.. i edited all four of her performances into this video.
yeah, she's ten years old.

Bad Apple (from Touhou)
by Leolaia inthis may not be new to some of you, but i am really loving the latest touhou video meme, which bases itself off of the original 8-bit theme for stage 3 of "lotus land story".
the past touhou memes have been so epic, like the un owen was her/mcroll'd one from 2007 and 2008, and the whole cirno stuff (baka baka baka) last year, but i'm so impressed by what has come out of niconico douga since november surrounding the "bad apple" song.
just blows me away.. the original video game music from 1998:.

Warning to laptop users
by Leolaia inlast week i got an unsightly first-degree burn on my right arm.
when i first noticed it, i had no idea where it came from.
it first looked like a big red welt on my arm, swollen and red, but with unusually sharp edges -- i didn't even realize that it was actually a burn although a few days later it started to look more like one.

Do you still buy album CDs anymore?
by Leolaia inor do you mainly download?
i have been revamping my '80s music collection this week and resorted to downloading a bunch of music from amazon to upgrade to higher quality mp3s.
i have a ton of cds that i have ripped my music from as well, but i had to fill those holes with stuff i could only get from online stores.
