Having see Mrs. g'nad, I would say, you most definately did not marry a dwarf woman.... more like Galadriel! Some dwarves have a great soft spot for the elves... I see you are one of them!
Whatever the "true" theology is, what I saw and participated in over there was not Christ-like behavior.
Which is close to what I said to a friend of mine recently...
Zealots who believe they know every detail exactly without question are far more screwed up, IMHO, than those that just say they don't really know, but they feel good when they think about it.
Hm...those are usually the ones I wait to watch at home. That way I can always fast-forward parts!
I'd like to see TTT trailer, but I don't have any other movie I want to see so I can sneak into Red Dragon for a few minutes. Guess I'll have to be contented with the small screen!
You've got yourself a feedbag.... still trying to figure out how it helps you?
Sorry...;-)
Seriously, though, you wouldn't believe some of the flame wars that come up on some music lists because of this subject! Seems to vary depending on the instrument...the guitar list I'm on is pretty laid back about the whole thing, and agrees that both methods have merit.
On the other hand, I off and on subscribe to a fiddle list where some people have the view that reading is EVIL and will damage musicians somehow, as will being classically trained. Those people are NUTS! I've never posted to the list because they scare me...but they also post info on local events, so I'm usually drawn back to resubscribe if I run away for awhile.
Not to worry. I won't be there except to throw an occasional stink bomb. Or like I did just a minute ago to stick up for the honor of our resident Man of Gondor.
Their Chief Shrew and Bottle Washer attacked him rather nastily. I couldn't let that stand.
Heck, I'd even defend an elf against that band of orcs...
They're accepting of learning by ear, but think that sheet music is seriously wrong.
I suppose some classical musicians are the opposite...but I haven't spent much time with 'em, so I don't know!

The ones I know aren't.
The few I know aren't either. Heck, my Mom's cello teacher now comes to our music nights, partly because she wants to get better at improvising and playing by ear. But I guess there are snobs and know-it-alls in every field...
