Nope - I wasn't introduced to them until In Utero - so I was about 13.

Adolescence and Music
by joannadandy inanyone who was raised by jw's knows music was a big "snare" of the devil.
rock was the soundtrack to destruction, and rap could get you pregnat!
you could groove out to the oldies with your parents, or perhaps you were lucky enough to get your own set of the instrumental kingdom melodies!.

I got sneeky as I got older, but there are big gaps in my pop musical knoweldge. People my own age will say, "Oh god - remember that song by _________", well no - not really. I wasn't allowed to listen to that.
And yet - how important is music to teens? I remember sitting with my friends and taping songs off the radio (pre-internet piracy rawked!). Oh and we'd also record music videos off TV to watch during slumber parties. Ohh the nerdery of it all! We'd secretly stash away tapes and cds we knew were questionable. We'd dub tapes for each other of the contraband music. God help you if your stash got found.
That being said - anyone have any bands you will always associate with your adolecence. Any music you hear that still conjures up images of your teen years? (Heaven help us, any songs that remind your going to the roller rink with your jw friends? Did you skate your heart out to Abba?!)
For me - it's two really. Nirvana, because I remember how hush hush we had to keep that one. Plus when Kurt Cobain died, I remember my mom expressing disgust for his deshelveled hair and cardigan and saying, "I've never even heard of him - have you?" - "uh - no, that's that 'alternative' music which I would not listen to - AT ALL!"
And the other really big one for me was The Smashing Pumpkins. I can hear certain songs and still recall exact moments of hanging out with my friends the first time I heard that song.
How about you?

Eesh - let us research for you...
I also love the term "new truth"...cuz the old ones are crap? I honestly didn't know truth had a shelf-life.
Also gotta love to just read the current ones - don't bother with those old mags.
is right!

How many of you have...
by Tez inmet up with any of the others on here, or have found others on here that you knew as a jw?

Met some people who knew mutual people that I knew. And just met others from the board (previously didn't know) that are now good friends.
I highly recommend meet-ups/apostafests. Even if you find someone in your area, just to meet for coffee - it's a good experience. It's fun to put pieces together, realize your not alone. Hear the commonality in a story you thought only happened to you...

What's your favorite classical music?
by DanTheMan inof course beethoven's fifth is tops for me, and the ninth close behind.
also sprach zarathustra - strauss.
fanfare for the common man - aaron copeland (what a nice thing that was for him to dedicate such a great piece of music to plebeians like me *sniff*).

Try this...it pegged me perfectly
by wanderlustguy inmood analysis test results
you have always been on the move seeking affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships.
your ultimate goal has been the realization of an intimate union in which there could be love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust.

You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.
You are trying to improve your position and prestige - be it in your life or in your workplace. Things are, at this time, OK - but they could be better. You feel that it is essential that you break down any opposition that could possibly lurk in the shadows. You know that you are quite capable of achieving this set goal because you have to and because it is essential to your self esteem.
Everything seems to have gone wrong and the situation at this time is such that you are not quite sure which way to turn. So it would appear that you are 'holding back', re-consolidating your position and relinquishing all fun and games for the time being.
You are holding back. You need to find friends in whom you can trust and once they have proved themselves beyond all possible doubt you will be prepared to give them your all. The existing situation is not of your liking - you have an unsatisfied need for mental stimulation with others whose standards are as high as your own. Trying to control your instincts the way you do restricts your ability to open up to others and the way you feel at this time is suggestive of 'total surrender'. This is not to your liking as you consider such thoughts as weaknesses that need to be overcome. You feel that only by control, controlling your innermost thoughts, are you able to maintain your air of superiority. You want to be admired for yourself alone and not for what you can do or for what you may have done. In essence 'you need to be needed' and at the same time 'you need to need'.
You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from within a close and harmonious relationship.
Actually that is pretty darn accurate...within in the last few days even, I had serious mood shift - kinda interesting. Normally I would say this isn't me - but today it is.
