  I sang "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and felt no guilt.

  since i'm only now getting back to you since christmas due to pc-related problems, i'm hoping you had a wonderful holiday.. given my profession and connections to the art and music world, i receive many invitations to concerts, plays and recitals.

  i received a ticket to a christmas concert that included many complex and superbly executed holiday-oriented musical pieces.

  the audience was invited to sing "o come all ye faithful.

  Bonjour CoCo! C'est manifique! (i don't know why CoCo, but you always make me want to speak French, but that's about the extent of it)

  Sounds wonderful! I had a similar experience this year. I love the holiday music and have been playing it every year; maybe even secretly the last year or so I was "in". This year I went to a Xmas eve service at a Unitarian church with several apostates from the board. The music was beautiful, lots of traditional and some old pieces I of course never hear. Eventually we invited to light our candles and stand and sing "silent Night," my favorite. So a first for me as well, and loved it.

  We're breaking out CoCo!!!!

  once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.

  he named each song after a person in our family.

  this is the one he named heather.

  The Two Forces

  the ark pictures the response to one kind.. it means the customs of the people can cause catastrophe.. and most people did not stop the destructive behavior , but some used it to be redeemed.. .

  sodom pictures the other kind.. it means the people respond badly to the intuitive recognition that doom is ahead.. .

  in one case what the people are doing causes something bad.

  I wondered why there were two accounts of man's creation.

  I found this very helpful in understanding the above question. http://www.amazon.com/Wrote-Bible-Richard-Elliott-Friedman/dp/0060630353

  i have said some very mean things to him that i regret and i apologize to rick for them.

  I love the Idea of Tortilla Chips being used ......Lars you made my day.

  Lars, you made mine my day too! I will forever have that picture of chips and salsa in my heart when anyone mentions the memorial. Maybe a margarita too?

  Maybe I'm missing something, (admitedly...probably), but how is Rick spamming the site? He posts a few sensational thread titles which you know are pretty much BS if you have any current dealings with anybody inside the org. Is that what everybody mean by "spam?"

  If he is not violating board policy, why?

  I don't care for his site, in the least. I don't think his methods or the appearance of the site are effective at all for the majority. That being said, there are some who have been assisted by his efforts.

  The few times I have tried to listen to a broadcast, except the time Simon was on, was a total waste of time, only because there was no organized agenda for the program. And I don't think he has a clear picture or understanding at all of the WTBS or how it works...maybe because he has been gone for so long. But he is no less delusional in his writings than others on this board who feel as passionate about theirs. There are posters here who are so delusional in their writings and the putting down of those that dare to question them, it is highly offensive to me. So I avoid those posters.

  This place has always been a free-wheelin', raucous place. It scared the liver out of me and took me years to join. But I'm better off knowing the wide range of individuals that post here. I may not like the way Rick does things, but I'd have a beer with him any day just for the hell of it.
