"When my family rebelled against the WT,I was one of these Mums who burnt T shirts and threw out music etc: wouldn't even let them watch the Gremlins...."
Know what you mean, Anne. It was all part of the "let us do the thinking for you" modus operandi of the watchtower. All we had to do was provide the bodies and the umph (leave your mind at home thank you). It's about control, pure and simple. I hate to even ask the question, but I wonder what I'd have done back in '81 if I'd been told to stone someone in the parking lot?
Meh. Best not to think about it.

Carlos, Know what you mean, makes me shudder too,and remember the nice'wooden spoons' mind my RC Mum could take a good swing at us.she believed in bringing us up 'by hand'. You are right about control, and control is still around in many churches sad to say..... Have you heard of the Michael Reid Ministry? and all the fall out and heartache that members have had to endure? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojpbOJjrGBQ .a friends favourite.

Ok, the First few links you posted....not really my thing, but not bad at all. The first one here: Jack Johnson, WOW, this is some serious music. I can't wait for my husband to get home and play it for him. Jazzy stuff and a nice throwback to the old time jazz with the piano and rhythm.

Hey Anne, yeah I've heard Madeline before. Kicking voice. She reminds me a bit of Ella Fitzgerald. I must say, you have some very good taste in music. Enya is one of my hand's down favorites for relaxing music. Her sister sang with Clannad. Interestingly, it looks like said sister has take more of a Christian turn.
Very very very very ueber cool Children's choir, thank you for sharing that.
