I can well recall...Thanks for the mention, No2HWA.<br /><br />I can well recall back when I was an Armstrongite how Meredith would mention his disdain and disgust for traditional Christian hymns.<br /><br />One time I even heard him say that he never listens to Ave Maria when the lyrics for it are being sung. Sometimes he'll listen to it when there are no lyrics with it.<br /><br />(Most emphatically he does not mention any Catholic hymns in the 1953 sermon under discussion.)<br /><br />Imagine my surprise many years later when I learned Ave Maria was originally written as part of a play but later it came to be often used as a song.<br /><br />Back when I was an Armstrongite I ignored his disdain for traditional Christian hymns. I was unable to take notice of it. But now I find his hatred for such things strange and bizarre. <br /><br />Of course the real reason he makes sure his followers do not listen to such things is make sure there can be no feelings of togetherness with anyone outside of his following.Redfox712https://www.blogger.com/profile/17734930967002040931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-12275826078968363562015-04-14T18:45:32.000-07:002015-04-14T18:45:32.000-07:00One of the qualifications for being a minister wit...One of the qualifications for being a minister within Armstrongism is that you had to like to speak out against things. That had to be one of your passions. And, of course, they spoke out most against all of the things that make life enjoyable, or worth living. Can't have any distractions from properly plagiarized Pharisaic Philadelphian protocol!<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
