most hated analogies
by googlemagoogle inwe've already got some "most hated" threads on here, like "most hated bible verse" or "most hated meeting", don't know if there's another thread on metaphors/analogies.
one of the most used analogies used is the "jehovah's like a loving father holding your hand and leading you, you can trust him like a little child trusts his father".
i don't know how often i heard that one.

"If you are on the fence between Satans world and Jehovahs organization, then you are already on the Devils side. Because God doesn't build fences."
Huh!? (scratches head)

Do You Think Bag Searching Violates Your Rights?
by minimus inin view of the transit bombings, do you feel that police should be able to search you or your bags at anytime?

I have no issue with credible searches being done. Still, I do wonder whether or not this could lead to losses of freedoms. But I'd rather be safe than sorry.

144,000 on The Simpsons
by sixsixsixtynine inin last nights episode of the simpsons, homer goes to see the movie "left below", and subsequently becomes obsessed with the rapture.
when they show an equation he's working on to determine when it will come, one of the numbers is 144,000!.
do any other religions besides the witnesses and adventists use that number?

Yeah, that was a good one. Later in the show they get sent to a chain gang in "Six Toe County". lol!

There is, not a religion, but a school of prophetic interpretation which is very popular with Evangelicals, and is known as Dispensationalism. These folks hold to the belief that, once the true believers in Jesus have been raptured, 144,000 literal Israelites will be converted and spread the gospel throughout the world during the reign of Antichrist. Then, after a period of seven years (known as the "great tribulation") Jesus will return and fight the battle of Armageddon. While I have not read the Left Behind series, I believe it represents this school of prophecy, and therefore the TV program was probably poking fun at their 144,000 rather than the JW 144,000.
"Dispensationalism", huh?
Very interesting, thanks Justin

I understand that, yet it doesn't make the comment acceptable.

Anyone who has ever heard "A Tear For Eddie" by Ween knows that Gene Ween is the man.
Yeah that song friggin' rocks. Have you ever heard "Rose in the Heather", by Nazareth? I think that's where the inspiration for "A Tear For Eddie" came from.
Isn't Dean the lead guitarist? I can never keep them straight.
Stay brown!

As soon as you did that it became obvious to me that you have either never actually heard of Larry Coryell and were posting merely for effect, or that your musical tastes were quite crude and unrefined. I suspect a mixture of both these elements is the truth.
My Dearest Hillary,
Yes, I was "posting for effect" and trying to have a little fun with you by using the vomit emoticon. I found your reply to be a bit condescending, and think my response was more than appropriate.
So, have I heard of Larry Coryell? Yes I have, and am familiar with his work. While I would never call him a "bad" player(as his technical ability is obvious), I find his music/playing very uninteresting. There's little in it that is surprising, original, or "fresh".
Sorry, but the track you provided wasn't able to change my opinion either. Yes, it is a very profesional bit of composition and playing(although whoever engineered it should be ashamed of themselves, as that's some awful acoustic guitar tone), but it just doesn't "do anything" for me. And, I don't think if I had a masters degree in music theory it would be anymore appealing to me.
As far as the list of people he's played with, yes there are some great musicians in that group. The only thing it proves to me is that, yes, he's played with some great musicians. So?
I should add though, that while I love jazz and guitar, there's not much "jazz guitar" that I care for(a few exceptions are: Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, McLaughlin when he was with Miles, Tommy Bolin, and some of Beck's fusion stuff) so I'm sure that factors heavily into my opinion of Coryell.
Smooches, Matt
