In a book about ancient sea legends, I read that many cultures have tales about a ship passenger suspected of wrongdoing being thrown overboard to appease the gods.

Meeting Days Felt Different?
by pale.emperor ini dont know if it was the same for you, but for me when i was a jw meeting days seemed to have a black cloud hanging over them.
on thursdays i knew i would be going to the meeting that evening.
that i would be getting into my meeting clothes at 6:30pm, leaving the house at 6:55pm and be sat in the kingdom hall from 7:15pm-9pm, then milling around for about half an hour before finally getting home for 10pm.

When in a foreign language congregation in Manhattan, we shared with three other congos. We got the last of the pickings: Saturday night for school, etc. and Sunday afternoon for talk and WT. We got home to Bethel late Saturday night and had to get back on the train early Sunday morning to go out in service all day and then late-p.m. meeting.
Work all week at headquarters and out almost every night on Bible studies, plus Book Study. Many of us young, healthy brothers cracked.

Tangential, but everyone else is doing it:
cu-de-sac:
mid-18th century (originally in anatomy): French, literally ‘bottom of a sack.’

Thirty-Five Years Later
by compound complex inin the market today, i walked down an aisle and glanced over at a middle-aged man and the woman beside him pushing a shopping cart.
i couldn't place the man but recognized the somewhat younger woman, a former student.
when the fellow started talking, i realized it was her brother, also a one-time student.

Thank you, Tara, for reliving a happy memory for me. I'd all but forgotten about this piece and what it meant to me, a student, and her now deceased father.
The baby of one family watched her two older sisters, both my students, play the piano. They taught her bits and pieces. While the older girls were delightful, their talents were modest. When baby sister got a little older and her sisters were no longer my students, "Mary" started at the piano and became one of my most gifted students.
Her rendition of "Ashokan Farewell" had to be heard to be believed.

Thank you, Wasanelder Once and GrreatTeacher, for your replies. I appreciate the thought behind them.
One former student told me recently that her parents were not particularly interested in her education but I was. I was just doing my job (which I happen to love), and, somehow, she got the good vibes and went on to a successful life and career. I don't recall anything in particular that I said or did, but apparently she did.
Thanks, too, Wasa, for the link. I love the work of Franck, especially The Accursed Huntsman and Symphony in D Minor.
