in 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.
I hear you.
I tried to embed the Folk Alley Session with Jay Ungar/Molly Mason, but couldn't.
Neither the Civil War soundtrack.
Paul Roebling's reading of Sullivan Ballou's last letter to his beloved Sarah while Ashokan Farewell played in the background is a real tear jerker.
Thanks for this thread.

the lyrics to the song, "twinkle, twinkle, little star," are an example of apostrophe (not an apostrophe).

Would that I could sit in on your class!

roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.
in one sentence tell why you left the org.
not 2 sentences.
I left WT because they took away our Lord and wouldn't say where they placed Him.

just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.
Thank you.
I recognized some of the Arabic words because, years ago, I spent a little time with the Nation of Islam.
Interesting, too, is that different suffixes are used for male and female.

Arabic and Hebrew share similarities.
does any one remember a km back in the nineteen sixties that stated at the very top "only x (number of months left) before 1975 arrives".
question?
what was the number of months in this statement?
The Society never said that outright, they merely hinted at it.
Semantics.
Theocratic Warfare.
ROFL.

90 months is 7 and 1\2 years.
March 1968 to September 1975 is 7 and 1\2 years.
Out of their own mouths they are convicted.
q1 - on the basis of the sacrifice of jesus christ, have you dedicated yourself to god & the governing body?.
q2 - do you understand that your dedication and baptism as one of jehovah's witnesses identifies your belief the wtbts's literature is equal in authority with the bible?
having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition sufficiently brain-dead to undergo christian jw.borg baptism..
Right, according to Randy Watters.
