  Dear Friends:

  I am overwhelmed by your lovely replies!

  Eclectic is the word, I agree, Dis-Member -- fascinating post.

  RE: BOTR's comments, I believe it's both an era and regional matter vis-a-vis interest in the arts. JWs of my acquaintance are very devoted to music, art, dance . . . Some of us are even involved professionally and have a large JW following.

  We really rocked at assemblies and at the KH when CoCo accompanied the enthusiastic crowd on piano. He went for the jugular -- and that with the pink (later, the brown) songbook! Too bad live accompaniment ended.

  Thank you, Everyone, for your posts. The thread title is based on the contest's name.

  I was raised on vinyl recordings in the 1950s and '60s, our family having only a used, thrift store portable phonogragh. It played 45 rpm records -- some of which I still have -- and 33 rpm long playing vinyl. I treasure those moments when a new world of luxuriant sound opened up before me.

  HiFi was great -- once we upgraded!

  Edited to add: The webpage states these are the top 100 classical pieces chosen by you, though the title of the thread was also used earlier during announcements, if I recall correctly.

  In the top 100, the composers most represented were Beethoven, Mozart, Bach. No pieces by Haydn, Schumann or Liszt. Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" was bumped totally. Beethoven's 9th made the #1 spot twelve out of fourteen years of this contest's duration.

  Massenet's "Meditation" [Thais] made the biggest jump, from #90 last year to #30 this year.

  Five Geek Social Fallacies

  by Hortensia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think this is an interesting article -- and i'm sure there are more than five social fallacies around.

  http://www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html.

  i see these acted out quite often here in the senior apartments where i live.

  Thanks, Hortensia, for revealing who I really am!!!

  MPD.

  No more drama for me -- live and let live. Before I grew up, I was a very possessive clinging vine. Is that a tautology? I thought I'd never live through some of the emotionally painful geeky social situations the writer has described. He nailed it.

  CoCo, wise and mature

  Topics not often discussed now

  by jdubsnub in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when i was a kid in the early 90's there always seemed to be a mention of how demons posessing people or how if you saw a demon or something supernatural occuring mearly calling jehovah's name would rid you of the situation.

  rarely now a days do you hear anything of the sort.

  that got me to thinking, what are some other topics the society has backed off of?

  G. K. Chesterton said too few poems were written on the subject of cheese . . .

  Awake! [?!??!?]

  Actually, "Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."

  I have always been an avid note taker -- pen/pencil and paper. I would never be able to afford a tablet, i.e., the electronic variety.

  Am I to be left behind?!?!?!? Are my methods outdated and, therefore, of no spiritual benefit?

  The Watchtower religion(JWS), that really couldn't fail, from beginning to ........

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when one looks back retrospectively at the very beginning of this organization, you could see that the wts.. was on a structural platform of success, created by cunningly created doctrines, such as the invisible return of.

  christ, the end times and the imminently soon to come armageddon, all bundled together.. .. this religious organization like so many others established in the united states was unregulated and had.

  no upper governing control over its daily operations.. they proclaimed and taught what they wanted to or needed to sustain their operations as a publishing house.. .

  Take your time, thedog, to digest what you've experienced here so far.

  In real life, when dealing with people face-to-face, we can read them as a whole (not truly possible here). No matter their words and however expressed, we tend to read either good or ill into what they have said.

  While some points made here may be valid in this or that circumstance, to make blanket assertions that cast doubt upon one's intentions and motivation shows bias. So what if one remains an elder because, for the time being, one feels this is what one must do? Is it necessary to berate that person for pursuing what he deems the correct path at this particular time? His conscience is not your conscience.

  'I do not agree with what you say, but I will give my life to defend your right to say it.'

  yesterday we met up with an old ex witness friend after four years.

  it was great to drop all the barriers that have stopped us all meeting recently.

  apparently, it turns out that i was marked as an apostate some time ago.

  Not by name, of course, I was marked during a Sunday's WT study. That was unusual in that markings are generally relegated to announcements at the evening meeting (TMS/SM).
