How many | (not to forget who) producers/DJ's are religious? I heard the | Burden family | is Jehova's Witnesses, but who else... And who are the atheists in our | midst? .... And I guess since I'm posing the question, I should answer it | too... I'm an atheist, but respecting and being interested in religion. | | Christian Bloch | http://mp3.com/bloch | http://www.mp313.com/christianblochmp313.htm | | Tresor/LL/Ungleich/AudioRiot/Restructured/Deep Night Essentials/Simple | Muzik/Funque Droppings | | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Wibo Lammerts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: <[email protected]> | Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 9:02 AM | Subject: [313] TERRENCE PARKER | | | > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > Date: Fri Sep 13, 2002 2:49 am | > Subject: NEWS: TP's DJing career will soon be coming to a close! | > | > Greetings of peace everyone! | > | > Yes!
