one time, at band camp.....
(I've got some stories-not of the solo kind. But it was the place to be)
i spent many many years peforming on the cello before becoming a witness at 18 and being encouraged to quit all my symphony associations etc which i obediently did.
i was a soloist once with a community symphony and it was a wonderful experience!
i have a recording of the concerto i performed.

Flute and bass drum. I always wanted to learn how to play the soprano sax.
a letter to my wife: .
i just want to say a few things to you.
i am writing to you since we just don't get to talk enough.
Wow, CYP. That would make me cry, and I don't mean in a bad way toward you, either. I mean it would make me think because I was once in your wife's shoes but unbaptized. My husband constantly told me he was not going to ever become jw's at all, and that was that.
That is the attitude she's swayed to have: "there's hope for your unbelieving mate" bullshit. You are right in what you wrote to her. The marriage is about you, too. Your feelings are just as important as hers. I must say, you wrote it in such a pleasant way, so that she ought to see it is not you giving her an ultimatum in your marriage, but the WTS. That realization may freak her out, but so be it. It's true. They don't want her to have a happy medium. They say it in so many words to cover their ass, but imply differently on a constant basis. Hope for the non-jw unbelieving mate. (More like despair.)
If this doesn't wake her up, I don't know what will. You sound like you love her dearly and are trying very hard. Nah... I know you are!
Marriage becomes he, she and jehobee when it shouldn't be that way. The WT needs to butt out.
the following link shows there are serious problems stirring at bethel headquarters for the watchtower society.
it appears, many long-time bethelites are organizing to leave headquarters!
here is the link,.
If it's true, then I hope they can get out. I laughed at the how to become and elders book, though.
Lol, Katie!

Kls....now I gotta admit my evilness!
I will go to bed without cleaning up the kitchen (putting food away, washing dishes) even if I'm not tired becuase I hate to clean up when he's there and can do it.
(I do all the cooking, btw.)
