  fiddler - over the years i have seen my contemporaries end up in miserable dead end jobs because they took the witchtowers advice. I saw a married guy at our kingdumb hell who pious sneered straight from school, and he ended up struggling to support a wife and kids sweeping floors at a school.

  When I decided on studying music, they tried to put me off with all the crap, but I told myself what if it doesnt come "soon". One elder actually had the gall to demand "why should you do what you want to do?" (he didnt satisfy me that I had to do what they wanted.) I do not regret defying them. i have travelled, worked in other countries, acquired three languages as a result and made many interesting friends, so now I have escaped i am never lonely.

  it is never too late to enjoy what you want to do. The trick is to get your hands on that instrument every day, even if only for 20 minutes. after a year you have done at least 120 hours practise - and you can achieve a lot on that. I have taught absolute beginners who are adults, who now play well and have a great time.

  When was your friend at the Juilliard?

  fiddler - I am a professional musician, have performed a lot over the years, Brandenburg 5 All the other Bach keyboard concertos and Mozart. I play figured bass with ensembles accompany recitals and arrange music. I have been playing the violin and piano for forty-three years, and the harpsichord for thirty odd.

  Now I am getting on, I want to do baroque violin, which is a different technique to the classical tradition i learned at Uni. (against the will of God - elduhs rather) Thats why I am looking for advice on good performances in that style.

  watchtower 1974p.167 "...by over indulging in food....he fails to show love for jehovah god...is food a big thing in his life?

  does he selfishly ignore others needs and take more then his share?

  Phizzy -

  Maybe its the obesity issue that leads them to forbid BJs - about twenty calories in each one.

  And it has just been revealed that DOs were told not use fat brothers for items at a$$emblies, even if they are spiritually qualified.

  heaven - I dont think "MEAT in due season" means bacon to most gays; it means chicken, and that other thingy...

  Is the shame-faced twinkie's favorite Babble text the one where David and Jonathan have a snog, or the gang bangs in the Book of Samuel? if he is trying to think hetero, perhaps he is daydreaming about the shulamite maiden's boobies, immortalised by that famous sex-machine Solomon. or is it Samson with his rippling sun-bronzed gleaming muscles, flexing in the sun, the salt sweet savor of his sweat trickling....... I must think of a scripture: "and one thousand asses" NOOOOOO I mean donkeys!

  Terry -

  It never fails to amaze me how many lousy recordings are out there.

  Flaccid performances of Don Giovanni, hideously bashy renderings of the Goldberg Variations, mechanical harpsichord playing (Trevor Pinnock's version of JSBs keyboard partitas springs to mind) emotionless Webern... The hideously fast performance of the G major prelude in bk II of the 48 by Gould.

  Both youtubes are nicely played, the one of Hilary turns a piece which to me is about drama into a two hanky job, with far too much vibrato, and the E major Gavotte is sweetly pretty, a word used by Bach to mock the operas so fashionable in the mid 18th cent. (Remember this was a guy who was cocky and cheeky to his teachers at school, and could have a fight in the town square)

  Good playing is very much in the ear of the listener, which is why I am asking around.

  I have Segovia playing them on guitar, and Perlman - he could just play open strings and I would be transported. I have John Holloway playing Corellis op 5, with excellent keyboard accompaniment.

  Malawi Party Card vs US Passport HYPOCRISY of Gibbering Buddy

  2. experiences

  as we all know jws were persecuted in malawi, beaten tortured and murdered, because they would not purchase (for about 70 cents) a card saying they support the political rule at that time.

  if they did they wd be df .. what must a us citizen do in order to get a passport - and how in god's name do the wt leaders get one without a compromise nobody else wd be allowed to make?.

  is this another case like the change on vaccinations in 53,because nathan homo knorrr knew he cd die of tropical diseases touring the third world.

  Thanks 88 - that is exactly what I was looking for."defend the constitution against ALL enemies."

  since Jehoobie plans to destroy the US and all other nation states, doesn't that make him an enemy of the US?

  yet these self serving vile liars do not see any contradiction?

  And they swear " SO HELP ME GOD " Exactlly which god??

  Assembly News Photo

  this photograph from a news site is a succinct summary of a life in wt's hands....... look at their faces, it says it all.. also, note the watchtower pr machine in action, explaining that it brings 4 million dollars to the location.

  (10,000 x 400 dollars) clearly a watchtower statistic, where is the care and interest for members who are struggling so much, with new videos encouraging less career activity, less work commitments, at an all time economic low for our generation.. http://www.standard-freeholder.com/2014/06/15/thousands-attend-watchtower-convention-in-cornwall.

  The boy does not look like he is smiling.

  He looks as if he is constipated and pushing hard. "Poussez fort!" As the French say.

  Weren't the "Blackshirts" a branch of the Nazis?

  and I think the eldugh is hiding an erection. Note the flush of arousal in his cheeks. I too used to indulge in fantasies to kill the boredom....

  Take advantage of the " search "option at the top of your screen,a wealth of information is already their for you to digest

  by smiddy in

  i think a lot of us fail to realise what a great tool , the search option is, and how valuable it can be to newbies to quickly find answers to what they are looking for , but not only newbies , long time posters seem to forget how easy an answer to a question can be obtained simply by using the search option for a question you want answered straight away.. this topic was inspired by a long time poster asking a question that i remembered being discussed some time back and within a minute using the search option i had the answer to his question.. i , myself am only now , really appreciating the benefits of this service , i hope you do also .. smiddy.

  Don't they sign a form. Same thing isn't it?

  what does the passport application form ask of you? I'd link to see.

  99.9% Of a People Who Believe In Evolution Don't Understand It.

  by Space Madness in

  i never believed in evolution as i thought it didn't make sense and that what was proposed was simply impossible.

  how could an environment alter an organism's dna?

  as we can see however, bacteria cannot become resistance to antibiotics.

  99% of the population are unable to think clearly about anything. That is why America is turning into a police state with a huge underclass of have nots before our very eyes.

  AND they can be moved to vote against their own interests at every election. Or don't care.
