  What Music WERE You Allowed To Listen To?

  ok, so we've talked before about music which was not permitted in our families, leaving us to listen to .... what?

  most people in my congregation generally approved of olivia newton-john, but became suspicious of her work after grease, when she bacame a "bad" girl.

  one song "landslide" contained the lines "minor desires became major needs, my needs won't be denied", which was taken as proof that she had gone over to the "dark side".

  The only thing my parents were really concerned with were movies, they kept a pretty tight riegn on what I watched, but books and music they never paid much attention to.

  we've had our ups and downs - almost always my fault .

  my god, how our upbringing can affect us!

  Wow, talk about a loaded question. I always wonder with these sorts of questions how many truly honest answers you get and how many are people saying what they think they are supposed to or what "sounds" good to say.

  Book Study this Week - Is the World Getting Worse?

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  19 years ago

  this week's book study is on the state of the world since satan was ostensibly tossed down here to spread his misery in 1914. according to the watchtower society, the world has been steadily declining since that date.

  i contend they selectively filter bad news in order to maintain their beliefs.

  the world is not necessarily worse today.

  About the only thing I would agree with them that is worse is that we now have weapons of mass destruction, other than that our standard of living is so much better than in the past.

  As the Church Lady used to say, isn't that special. Freaking Nimrods, get a new tune for God's sake.

  Remember when KH's had a piano and real singing?

  the thread about got me thinking about my very early childhood, back when witnesses were allowed to be social and have get togethers.

  they also had a piano in every congregation i ever attended, and an older sister would always play the kingdom melody.

  there was actual singing - not mindless droning and humming.

  I'm old enough that when I was a kid they still had the pianos on in our hall there was this 30 something bombshell that played. I remember as a young teen thinking lightning was going to strike me for oogling her as she strutted up the aisle to the piano.

  Definitely better than the canned stuff that was just coming in when I was getting out of high school and not going to meetings anymore.

  The Dog Whisperer

  i am sure that cesar millan has been talked about before here.

  however, the more i watch this show the more i am amazed at his ability with dogs and other animals.

  however, what gets me is that i was using many of his techniques about 15 years ago with my dogs, and never even thought about doing it professionally.. the thumping sound you hear is the sound of me kicking myself.

  Interesting question, I had to really think about that one. Nope, I can't say that there is one thing that I have kept from being raised by dubs, I rejected the whole mindset lock stock and two smoking barrels.
