J.W's Forbidden To Use The Word "Lucky"
by Rapunzel inon another thread, a poster alluded to the witness prohibition on uttering the word "lucky," as the word "lucky" is associated with dreaded paganism.
as i recall, instead of saying "lucky", witnesses are "counseled" to employ the term forunate.
the problem is this - the roman goddess of good luck was named fortuna; her greek equivalent was named tyche.

Was Dostoevsky Correct?
by Rapunzel inthe russian writer, fyodor dostoevsky, once wrote: "if there is no god, everything is permitted.
" in these eight words, dostoevsky encapsulates a complex theological argument, i believe.
of course, these words of his are open to interpretation, and different people will have different opinions and come to various conclusions.

What To Think About John Cages' Opus 4'33"?
by Rapunzel injohn cage composed 4'33" [four minutes, thirty three seconds] in 1952. for cage, 4'33" represented the epitome of aleatoric - that is to say random or chance - music; it was the epitome of his notion that any sound constituted, or could possibly constitute, music.
4'33" was composed for any instrument, or any combination of instruments; and the score specifically instructs the musician(s) not to play their instrument for the entire four-minute-thirty-three-seconds duration of the piece.
they do not play so much as one single note.

The J.W's Stance On Education: A Return To Original Christian Thought?
by Rapunzel inas has been stated in many threads, most witnesses have long considered education - especially higher or university education - in a negative light.
most witnesses take a dim view of any educational pursuits beyond the bare minimum required by the socities and communities in which they live.
of course, this is not true for every single witness in every congregation around the world; there are some who "buck the trend," and pursue higher education [often facing some kind of sanction or ostracism for doing so].

by Rapunzel into state the obvious, rock and roll has its roots in the blues.

the members of both those bands grew up listening to the blues.
