Grace this is for you. I think you will like this version. My version is nicer but couldn't find it: Albinoni, Adagio: http://www.youtube.com/watchv=XMbvcp480Y4&feature=related
Almost forgot: Grace you could always right click on this thread with mouse and create shortcut to your desktop. That way you always have it handy.
Many, many years ago I heard PDQ Bach playing Bach. It was hilarious. This is all I could find. There are some funny moments in it but nothing like the version I heard. I'm sure it's not easy what they are doing, but then I wouldn't know.

restrangled: for some reason your link didn’t work but found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMR6hxOGQ4w
hubert: my eye is great. I can see clearly now! I really like Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue but have to deny liking Pachelbell. Sorry. But hey, we both like Dvorak!
MsMcDucket: Here’s another version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOeuar5LmtU
Hortensia: If you like cello music I’m sure you will like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL_kU47IYvYNot sure if it was this concert but a while back I saw Yo-Yo Ma play this on tv and it gave me goose bumps. He was so into it.

Watched TV evangelists for the first time today
by shopaholic ini was flipping through the channels while doing cardio and i decided to hear what a couple of these people had to say.
while i've determined that i'm agnostic, this one guy was pretty good...he was practical and funny.
he made the bible seem more like a good self-help book than a "book laws to be obeyed or else you'll die".

I used to watch Charles Price years ago but the programme is on while I'm at church. I don't watch too many evangelists on TV. I realize that we each have different personalities but some turn me right off. We were actually warned about Peter Popoff which surprised me but that kind of preaching greatly offends me. Each Thursday at work between 9am-2pm I do listen to WDCX out of Buffalo. I like especially like Dr David Jeremiah and Adrian Rogers.

hardest conversation of my life
by metaspy inmoments ago, i talked to my mom.. i told her that i was taking some time off from going to meetings and service.. the conversation went down hill from there.. as her usual she just dismissed my reasons as if they meant nothing.. i pointed to the child molestations as my main reason for leaving.. "you are being over-sensitive", "jehovah takes care of things in his own time", "rely on jehovah".
those were the catch phrases of the conversation.. a new one was: "what have you been reading?".
i have a hard time standing up to my mother.

Hi RCrusoe: I don' mean for metaspy to isolate from people. I don't think that would be a good idea. But just to take a breather from his mom especially, since she is the one that is putting so much pressure on him. As an outsider I may not appreciate this as much. Maybe for metaspy, and many x-witnesses, they don't have anyone else to go to other than the witnesses.

I am. Right now I'm listening to Dvorak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs1D5cQ2eJA&mode=related&search=
Maybe if there's an interest we could set aside an evening where someone chooses, say a symphony, and all who want to join, listen to it while we're on this board. I usually listen to music anyway. That may be neat.
okay, now I'm listening to yours.

I haven't read all the responses yet either but want to say that you need to listen to your own gut. Something is telling you that something is not right, namely the sex abuse coverup. Study for yourself, read the bible yourself and you will draw your own conclusions. To turn your back on the Org does not automatically mean that you have turned your back on God but that is how they intrepret it.
This verse below helps me greatly. I hope it helps you. Don't argue with your mother, but remain loving. You could tell her you just need some space and time to reflect. I have personally found with my own mother that arguing doesn't help. She comes to me with her problems (an outsider), not her sisters. That says something about a loving org; that she can't seek comfort with them when she is going through a difficult time.
Hebr 13:5-6 Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

i found a pice of sublimnal art as a dubbie i'm shocked!
by XOCO inyou guys this has really freaked me out so much tonight as i was looking though my revelation book climax at hand i was looking to see where we had left off and i usually do this by seeing where i have stopped highlighting in the book.. so i started at pg 156 & 157 of the book so there were a bunch of marks on those two pages their are pics nothing special there.. but on page 159 their is a pic of jesus in the heavens where he is extending his handout to get a piece of paper and that's where i notice on the hand that were the wrinkles are supposed to be there is a face like a fetusnow i mean anybody can tell you that is a face of a baby.
i don't know why a baby on jesus hand or what it suppose to mean.

this was a really weird thread....
I agree. I have nothing better to do today because I still can't do anything physically strenuous. But I find it interesting how someone can imagine something and intrepret it as something that is about himself. We could all do that if we wanted.
JCanon I found this link of yours in search regarding the prodigal son.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/139239/2490730/post.ashx#2490730
Fact of the matter is, the prodigal son sort of gets drafted into being the messiah. It's his older brother who really has the ego and is complaining like you are about why someone has something special when they think they deserve it more. They don't like feeling left out and that's understandable. But the prodigal son wanted to come back, not to get his former place as a son and heir with his brother, but just to be one of the hird help! He has not great aspirations at all but to make up for his past sins. So getting this banquet and becoming the messiah is a surprise and sort of a shock. You know, the progidal son comes back with hat in hand saying, "Oh! Just let me back in. I'll do ANYTHING. I'll wash toilets, I'll wait on everybody else night and day. I'll even do windows! Just let me back in. I'm a dead man out here in the cold and darkness!" He was sincere. He had given up his life already. He didn't deserve to come back. But God thought: "Hmmm, he's motivated!"
To show how ludicrous your theory is I will use Rembrant who later changed his name to Rembrandt. What does the letter "d" signify? Could it mean something special to Rembrant; that he used a term which today means "general military term for the day on which an operation or exercise is planned to commence". (you know, the battle of Armegeddon when the Son does battle with the wicked one) Rembrandt painted may religious scenes and depicted himself in some of the roles. Could he have been the 2nd Messiah. (as JW's and you seem to suggest that there are 3 comings)

JCanon: Titus 3:9: But avoid foolish controversies and geneologies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable.
John 10:30 I and the Father are one. John 9:58 ..before Abraham was born, I am.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Matt 24:24-30 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive .....So if anyone tells you There he is, out in the desert, do not go out, or believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.......at that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power............
I do think JCanon you are suffering with delusions or you could be evil. I do think it's the former. If Christ had been black, I would not have had a problem with it, but the fact is, as a Son of Man he was Jewish. Jesus Christ, the Lamb was without blemish and for you to insinuate that He was homosexual is blasphemy. I believe that the same Man that died and rose again will someday come back. It is not for us to know the time as long as we are always prepared by doing God's will and I believe that foremost it is to love God with all our hearts and love mankind as Jesus had said at his first coming.
One can interpret anything the way one wants. The first picture you interpret as Christ (yourself) in the hand. I could interpret it as the Anti-Christ. What does the gesture of the hand signify? I could intrepret that the large foot to the right could be Jesus ready to stamp out this Anti-Christ.
