ANDRE GAGNON has been called the French Canadian Mozart :)
What he is--is a romantique!
Listen to this highly evocative composition--and then head on over to YouTube and listen to the rest of his works.

According to the latest (faux) doctrine...
The Bible was written only for the understanding of the anointed, the 'faithful slave'. However,only the Governing Body of the 'faithful slave' is in the central position of latter day 'prophet' and Jesus is THEIR mediator because they're his Bride.
The rest of us grab on to the coat tails of these (spiritual) Jews by doing every g-damn thing they tell us. -

Hey Doug!
"The book depicts mighty archangels and angels, such old friends of ours as Gabriel and Michael, alongside their diabolical counterparts. Enoch ranges through glorious heavens and burning hells."
No mention of burning hells comes to mind in the O.T. What is this referencing? -

Live 'as though' God is true and goodness is real? Why? Why not?
by TerryWalstrom inin the long run, goodness can be as real as we care to live it.
and if we live 'as though' god were as real as we once believed--how can we go wrong?let us think about this...what would happen if we were given a large amount of cash and we spent it on gifts for our loved ones but-- a knock at the door and the police are here!
that cash was counterfeit and those gifts must be confiscated...what then?good intentions are only that--intentions-- if there is no "there" there.when we were each others' brothers and sisters our love was real but the currency was counterfeit.

I like the idea of "taking stock" of Watchtower doctrines as opposed to investing in them.
They're bankrupt of ideas but the crash of 1975 didn't wipe them out because the rank and file held on to the worthless paper.
All those "rainbow" colored books Franz and Rutherford cranked out sit on so many bookshelves and with about as much useful teaching as you'd find on the Magic 8 ball. -

Yes, I say it like this:
"Do we love something because it is 'good' or is it only seen as 'good' because we love it?"
What we personally value can be a complicated set of internal calibrations.
The easy-to-understand Cause and Effect process goes off the rails at any point.
We may or may not be aware it happened.
The result can be called a Fetish. (Do you like to be spanked?)
Good and Bad in the context of Emotions is awkwardly complex.
Generally, our Values trigger (automatically) our Emotions.
(If we are afraid of snakes, we automatically jump and scream when we see a snake).
Now here it gets complicated! If we only THINK the garden hose is a snake--we still involuntarily jump and scream.
Our misconception / misperception of garden hose = snake may be a silly error but don't let us miss the important point: IT IS A DEEP SURVIVAL MECHANISM at work: that jump and scream.
Boo/Hiss and Yay/Hooray aren't as easy as all that to pin down.
Our sense of GOOD and BAD is rooted in our perception and training and peer support.
Some is voluntary and much is not.
If we live as though God were real...in a strong sense...we jump as though the garden hose were a snake. SAME PROCESS ? Not exactly.Why? Because we didn't happen upon God coiled next to our back door. Instead, we are pretending that jumping and screaming are actually good for us.
Is that ridiculous? Sure. -

Having previously married into a Jewish family (3 of my kids are Jewish by heritage not belief) I guess I always have some of the "never forget" always at the ready in my subconscious.

I don't know that this thing I've written is anything someone would want to read--considering the darkness you've mentioned. I posted it because I didn't know what else to do with it.
I thought maybe somebody else had a clue. I sure don't. :) -

Writing for me is a peculiar thing--not altogether self-directed. The above story started off on a whim with a firm (and abandoned) intention to be light-hearted and heading in the opposite direction. Well, it took the wheel and drove the other way! I became the passenger.
I have no idea where it came from or why it wanted to be written. But--there it is.
There it is. -

"It was particularly touching to listen to a whole repertory of Yiddish folk ballads, some of which were probably brought to the camp by Jewish parachutists from regions in the interior of the Soviet Union.
One night, while awaiting a parachute drop of Soviet weapons and equipment at an improvised airfield in the forests of Rudniki, this writer met partisans from the Vilna ghetto and, for the first time, heard them sing Zog nit keynmol az du geyst dem letstn veg (Never say that you have reached the final road). This song, by the Vilna poet and underground fighter Hirsh Glik, later became the general anthem of the Jewish partisans." -

The MUSN'T BE SUNG song
Yes, Rachel was tossed from the birthday party. Not awfully shocking. After all, she began singing the Mustn’t Be Sung song. I’m serious. What is wrong with her?
She won’t be able to go anywhere after this. Not anytime soon.
Who doesn’t remember the incident? (I mean, of course, the first incident?)
Let’s not go into that and spoil our day.Gretchen Reinhardt's birthday party was a tremendous success. (Except for Rachel).
The garden behind her house is the envy of the neighborhood mothers. All children love that hedgerow Maze. Reinhardt parties are the best attended and they find so many silly excuses for throwing them, too.Naturally, there’s gossip.
The Reinhardt family gets way too much attention. In my humble opinion.
That Maze--nobody else has anything to compete.
The Goldman’s have a terrific pool and trampoline. Who cares anymore?
Kurt and Hannah’s backyard badminton tourney was a flop, too.
No, there’s only the Maze as far as school kids and parties and having a good time.If you’re throwing a party--guess what? So are the Reinhardt's and suddenly nobody comes to your party.
Coincidence?
Mama says, “No way!”I overhead Mrs. Schultz telling my mom the other day that the Maze cost the Reinhardt's a quarter of a million!
Insane? “Immoral” is a better word for it.There are plenty of hungry people in the world.
And charities go begging. I’m just saying…After the funeral last year, after the Silverman’s moved away and Rolf was arrested for singing that damn song--- it was the Reinhardt's Maze that took everybody’s mind off the incident.
The first incident.
So, there’s that.No, the second incident should have been more than enough warning.
(What in God’s name is wrong with Rachel?)
I cried my eyes out. She’s my very best friend.
That damn song!Mama told me how lucky I am I hadn’t heard it.
She frightened me--the way she said it--her eyes were all red and she was shaking.
I felt like throwing up I was so scared.
How is singing a song a bad thing?The thing is--once you hear it you can’t stop thinking about it. No matter what you do--it comes back and you start trying to get rid of it--like hiccups. You try all the usual remedies. They don’t work.
Mama said:
“If you have a contagious disease you wouldn’t go to a party, would you? You wouldn’t want your friends to get sick--and die--would you?”
I tell you what--mom screaming those questions at me has given me the bad dreams. (Naked people screaming and dying.)I talked to Anna last night on the phone. She’s having the same kind of dreams.
Isn’t it weird?
But then--there’s the Maze. It solves everything.
It’s like having a cure for hiccups!What would I do? I know why you’re asking.
I mean--IF I accidentally heard it. That song.I guess I’m scared because parents tell you things that aren’t true...sometimes.
When Mia, our cat, stays out too long Mama shakes a box of kitty treats to lure Mia back inside. Except when she runs out of kitty treats--She shakes a box of anything else.
Poor hungry Mia is tricked. She trusts Mama.
She just comes running in expecting to be fed. Nope--gotcha dumb beast!
A lie is a lie.I’m no angel. I lie sometimes.
I’m not evil. I’m scared.
I wouldn’t dare lie to Mama about most things.
But this is different.
How can I possibly explain why Rachel taught me the song?
She’d fall apart if she knew I climb into my closet and cover my head with pillows and sing:
"Never Say That You Have Reached the Final Road."Rachel never lied to me. Mama has--but never Rachel.
Rachel whispered to me that the man who built the Reinhardt's Maze is an evil man.
He was heard saying he’s building showers--strange showers, for our Leader.
He was laughing when he said it.“Die Juden gehen rein, aber es ist Deutschland, das gereinigt wird.”
"The Jews go in to shower, but it is Germany which is cleansed."
