  i have gotten soooo fed up of trying to sift my way through hundreds of items on amazon, that i am now sick to death, and wishing jsb were never even born (may almighty god forbid) - please note my posy reference to islamic philosophy:).

  i want a good recording of the bach partitas for solo violin played by a really good musician on a baroque violin with good stylistic training.. any takers??.

  make a hamster happy :(.

  Hi Hamster,

  I am a baroque cellist and viola da gamba player, so I am glad to know you are looking into 'performance practice' or 'period' recordings. Have you listened to Andrew Manze, John Holloway, and Rachel Podger? For some reason, British players seem to lead, at least in European recording labels. I am not sure Elizabeth Walffisch has a recording of the Bach partitas, but her playing is also very good. Or perhaps an Italian player like Giuliano Carmignola? I think he is both a modern and baroque player.

  In any case, I would be interested to know if you already had these recordings, or what you think about them.

  Happy listening!

  A numerology of sorts...

  i remember seeing the warwick promotional video, and wondering if the wt had found a street with the name king's on purpose, or if it was just a coincidence.

  now, i had never noticed that the address for one of the kingdom halls in cleveland, ohio, has a very interesting number.

  see for yourself the pictures i took yesterday, or googlemap the address: 1914 e 75th st, cleveland.. in any case, finding a location with a specific number seems to me like going out of their way for no reason, or is it perhaps -simply put- superstition???.

  This week's Bible reading

  by JustVisting in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this week's reading included exodus 25:2 where moses was to collect contibutions from those whose heart incites him to.

  i commented on this verse and quoted from the watchtower 1879 where it says, "we will not beg or solicite funds...when jehovah fails to provide the necessary funds it will be time to suspend publication.

  " mind you, this was the same meeting where the letter was read about the new donation "arrangement" was read.. comments anyone?.

  Awesome!!!

  That's the beauty of having good sources and inside information. I'm sure you left people thinking, or at least provoked a very unconfortable time for your elders!

  in the study edition of the wt for july 2014 - jehovah's people 'renounce unrighteousness' - paragraph 13 reads:.

  13 the bible principles discussed above do not apply only to our choice of entertainment.

  opinions about dress and grooming, health and nutrition, and other personal matters may also trigger controversy.

  13 The Bible principles discussed above do not apply only to our choice of entertainment. Opinions about dress and grooming, health and nutrition, and other personal matters may also trigger controversy. Accordingly, if no Scriptural principle is being violated, Jehovah’s people wisely abstain from arguing over such matters, “for a slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle [tactful, ftn.] toward all.” — 2 Tim. 2:24 .

  I bet they would be able to say that they do not interfere with 'grooming' issues such as growing beard, while still segregating those who dare to have one, as it is clear in the following section 'avoid bad associations!'

  What Watchtower Belief/View Never Sat Right With You?

  but their views on blood are just plain weird!

  meat has blood in it even if it's bled.

  still eating meat means consuming blood.

  I always asked my mom in what kind of world parents would keep bringing kids to life, if they were 100% they would have to go through Armaggedon in their lifetime...... does not it seem the most cruel thing you can inflict to your own children???

  Translating JWFacts to Spanish... Update?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.

  given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.

  i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

  Hola!

  I am 400% with you. I am also willing to do some translating myself. If only I had the imagination to create my own blog like Cedars or the likes, I would totally do it in Spanish, as I am sure that's where the energy of the WT is concentrated now.
