Actually, I don't doubt what you say of its origin. Some of the terminology doesn't mesh. For example, the bit about Biblical music in stores; "soul winning", etc.

Memorial Week

when i was a dub, things i hated about memorial week, another meeting, god forbid, i mean jehovah forbid we cancel a book study.

worried about my kids dropping the wine, having to go and meet all the new ones that come in, having to give the talk, having to listen to the talk, having to rearrange the chairs.. things i liked about this week, had an excuse to take off work, hoping some other kid would drop the wine, not having to go place magazines, because we were inviting people to the memorial, drinking the wine after the memorial, laughing at the brothers tiring to park the cars, tiring to guess who would partake.

please add to the list.

For one that's never made any "sense" you're sure one to be talkin'. Is your gun all polished up and ready to go, Catholic boy?

dmouse says: "Just teach them how to think"

Interpreted, demouse really said: "Just teach them how to think worldly."

Before that demouse said: "If you know what you're doing you can surreptitiously help your children to block the mind-control techniques"

Thanks for providing that link. I didn't know of it, and I made a record of it.

Blake's pictorial engagements with The Book of Job extended over many decades. His first efforts were a small group of wash drawings of the mid-1780s showing Job in his misery with his wife and three friends (Butlin 162-164). Another version of this subject appears among Blake's emblem series he sketched in his Notebook (Butlin 201.20), but the composition appearing in the wash drawings culminated in the large intaglio etching/engraving, "Job" (Essick V) which Blake listed in his advertisement To the Public of 10 October 1793. This print may have stimulated Blake's chief patron, Thomas Butts, to commission a tempera painting, Job and His Daughters (Butlin 394) c. 1799-1800 and, about six years later, a series of nineteen water colors illustrating the story of Job (Butlin 550, the so-called "Butts Set"). In 1821, Blake and his new patron John Linnell borrowed the water colors from Butts. Linnell traced the series and Blake colored them (Butlin 551, the so-called "Linnell Set"). Blake also added two more compositions to this later group and added versions of these same compositions to the earlier group, so that both sets now have twenty-one designs. The Linnell set led directly to his commissioning engravings. These began as a series of reduced sketches executed in 1823 (Butlin 557); the engravings themselves, with a title page added, were not finished and published until 1826

(Don't know why that link I've added to the quote doesn't pull up the right page. It works alright though when pasting the entire thing into the browser.)

I don't know exactly when Blake was born and died, but it looks like perhaps he would've been at least 80 years old before 1850 rolled around. He obviously placed much value on the Bible and the account regarding Job. It would be interesting to get to know the man, which of course can only be made possible by the Bible's promise of a resurrection.

Any more links of this nature that you might know about?

Thanks,
Yadirf

I know you don't accept the Bible as being God's Word, but didn't you once admit to being an atheist? I can't remember for sure?

I forgot to mention, I'm pleased that you clicked on my site. I guess I'm gonna have to either get busy working more on it, or abandon the idea. You seem to be having fun working with your site.

You posted that on the 19th, and here it is the 27th. LOL. I guess that just shows how seldom I visit my own site, as if the lack of progress I've made on it isn't proof enough anyway. LOL.

I can't say that I'd especially be interested, without knowing first what the matter is about. The subject or question, what would it be? Does he want to debate, convert me, or what? Too, I'm not really so much into the personal email thing, other than with my son and sister and another contact or two. Them, and this board keeps me pretty busy. I'm not saying that I definitely won't yet. The fact is I once did share my email address with a person who posts on this board, it never having occurred to me that I would wind up being on the same mailing list with Ray Franz. LOL. And of course receiving all the unwanted, sometimes vile messages from nameless people that came my way as a result.

Let me think about it, okay. More information might be helpful.

Observing Blake's portrayal of Cain having killed his brother, the shock it plainly was to his mother and father, and the sudden guilt that Cain felt, was very effective in causing me to feel somewhat like being THERE. I haven't seen much of his work but he's a well talented artist, it seems.

However, I'm still trying to understand why Blake chose to leave the family undressed. Surely, by that time they all wore clothes of some kind. http: //sunsite.dk/cgfa/blake/blake11.jpg

I deliberately fixed the URL so that the picture wouldn't be posted, because it's too large, and therefore would distort this thread out of proportion. To view it, paste the URL in the address field without the space I've created after the "http:"
