There is nothing wrong with people liking their own music and can play whatever they like. The only type of music I hate is disco and rap. It's almost like they are related. But people can listen to that with headphones on ground.
I would hack up otherwise.
Rock and Roll is permitted. Lyrics requested to be clean, though. No one is forced to listen to "Ladies of the Way" anymore in fellowship. Let the fellowship (twig) coordinator figure out that fellowship's own music. It is not TWI's call in a local fellowship.
I like Beautiful Ohio but recognize that it has been overdone, making people sick. Therefore, playing this song is limited to once a year publically. Believers can own tapes of it but like disco and rap, must be muffled by headphones.
There will be free therapy for those that need it following 365 consecutive mornings with Beautiful Ohio waking you up.
I remember "Beautiful Ohio" -- wafting across the campus there, at AC '79, like some eerie extra-terrestial musical forefinger beckoning to all within hearing distance.
Play it, and they will come -- and like zombies we did, in the early morning hours, dressed in our *best*, bibles and (more importantly) syllabus' in hand, checking the name tags (is it on straight?), pads of paper (do I have enough for all the "words of wisdom" I will hear?), pens (can't run out of ink, in the middle of an inspired teaching), and then there was ..........
that sooonnnggg -- leading the innocent, into the unknown, and into the dark halls of "hollowed" learning, where those that knew little, propounded much, mesmerizing the unwitting with words, much like the music previously, so that ALL (is it all without exception, or all with distincton), left just as glassy-eyed as when they arrived, many hours previously.
No doubt the next prez (whomever it may be), will find an equally hypnotic melody to invite the *masses* to learn "much", about "little".
I would vote for Eagle, but I don't think his plans would *fly* there at twi
If we can bring back people then I nominate Brad Th**pe. He was always kind to me, loved his family and was just a great guy. He had too many Loy traits at times but I think he's honest. Hope I wasn't wrong about him. He's one of the few Way Irrational leaders I really respected.
"Play it and they will come" heh heh heh. "The morning of the living dead- thousands of glassy-eyed religious zombies stirred to life by a ghostly, mysterious tune, and they want your brains!"
But one of them is shuffling slowly, dragging one foot sideways. He is out of step with the rest.. looking for something. He starts to mumble, "my name-tag, I forgot my naaaame-tag..." Looks like there is going to be some trouble.
One of the other zombies slowly straightens himself up. He mumbles back, "sheesh. why did you have to do that? Now they will probably not give any of us brains."
"so that ALL (is it all without exception, or all with distincton), left just as glassy-eyed as when they arrived, many hours previously." Ha ha ha ha.. DMiller, if I die laughing it is your fault!
I think if they start a documentary about "Beautiful Ohio" and zombie-like followers checking name tags and criticizing each other for a piece of lint on their clothing, perhaps we should name the documentary...
I don't know.. may be a little too mild. But I have always been partial to Zombies. Once I too was one of those poor devils, slowly lumbering in to the teaching center to the sound of the mysterious music..

I'll vote for anyone who agrees to never ever play "Beautiful Ohio".

I'd nominate Rodney King for President. Can't we, can't we just all get along.

Are these reforms okay and are they catching on?

Eagle,
That sounds very fair. Can we bring back Dave L**z? I always loved his voice!
Oh, wait, then we'd have to be nice to those who left or were booted.
