Anyone have a list of the songs that got the axe? Might be an indication of things to come. I'd put a list together, but my songbook went missing 13 years ago :)

But damn, the GB have exposed the songs to radiation, and many have morphed into shells of their former selves. What a hack job. If you're gonna write a new song about a particular subject, write a complete new one. I wonder how many will be singing the old lyrics and messing up the rest of the congregation for the first while.

Someone NEEDS to record the first time singing one of the new songs. I wanna hear how badly it's butchered.

i'm starting this thread for fun.

and to let us blow off some steam, too.

most of us spent years or decades in an organization that hurled tons of invective against their "enemies" (everyone else was their enemy).

The Beatles - Remastered

by lepermessiah in

has anyone picked those up?

i am really curious to hear the discs.

the reviews have been excellent!.

Nosferatu

Remasters are overrated. Just pump your old Beatles albums through an equalizer, adjust it to the way you think it sounds good, and voila! The Beatles remastered! Oh yeah, don't forget to jiggle your volume control once in a while to simulate tape dropout from 40+ year old master tapes.

I'd prefer to see much of the albums out there with the individual tracks stripped down, remastered, and then remixed instead of just farting around with a digital EQ.

Also, if you're downloading a remastered album to hear how good a job they did, you're entirely missing the point. The low end and high end get chopped with MP3 encoding. If you REALLY want to hear what they did, you need to buy the CD from a store.

My last meeting was on August 15, 1996, so I've been out a total of 13 years.

Angel eyes, I honestly don't know how you get on with such faith. Many times, I prayed to Jehovah for help when I was getting the shit beaten out of me. All I got in return was a bad case of PTSD and a nervous breakdown. After that, I started learning that I can't rely on Jehovah for help and that I needed to help myself. I slowly learned how to stand up for myself and not let anybody walk all over me. Now, my PTSD rarely affects me, I'm much more confident, happier, less stressed out, and I owe it all to leaving the JWs.

And Pioneer school? Hah! I couldn't even bring myself to get baptized after I was shoved into becoming an unbaptized publisher. My record maximum of hours was 9 per month. When I didn't have any hours, I made up for it by witnessing to my cat. At least he wasn't eligible for a bible study :)

Ever had some Witness storm out or turn off a Movie you were watching! Which one?

by Witness 007 in

he plays a fake faith healer.

their were a couple swear words, and the brothers asked me to switch it off.. same thing happened with christine applegate movie {pg 13} "don't tell mom the babysiters dead.

I had brought over the Bob & Doug McKenzie album. I thought he would get a kick out of it because it was funny. After about the third skit, he shut it off without saying a word why.

That's nothing. I did a similar experiment with JWs.

When I had a car full of JWs, I usually played no music. For a change, I started playing "Flashback Greats from the 60s" and everyone in the car group was happy, and they placed a lot of magazines, and we were able to get an extra territory in due to how quickly we finished the others.

A month later, I started playing Kingdom Melodies. The car group didn't seem to be very happy, nobody was placing anything, they were walking slower between houses, and people were going for refills on our coffee break! We were less productive than when I played nothing in the car.

I couldn't finish my experiment either. Over the next month, our service group started to dwindle down to where there was just me and sister faithful who was almost deaf.

So... I went to a bunch of them. Norton must have their heads planted in their arse because there was nothing nasty about them. Other than the sites being really boring, nothing tried to creep into my PC. I've been to far worse ones that have zillions of popups, request that you sign up for a free trial, download their software, etc etc. THOSE are the sites that I worry about.
