--- Quote from: musicman on March 23, 2008, 04:55:04 PM ---I was just interested in the oppinions of others here on an issue. As my title suggests, I am a musician. I take musical performance very personal as monetary compensation comes in at a distant second, to the opportunity of playing music. Afterall, I pay my bills in a field having little to do with musical skill (I teach music to children).
The problem (if that is the proper term) is in my dealings with Babylon. See, as a musician it is unwise to refuse work. This includes work involving the Babylonian church system. For instance, today (Easter Sunday) I played two services at a church and made some cash. I also played in an Easter Pagent last week. Now, I cringe at the thought of serving the Synogogue of Satan but I feel that this is part of being an instrumental performer (which I most definately am). Now it's one thing to attend church out of curiosity for what may be taught there these days. It's another thing to serve them for musical exposure or monetary gain.
I would like any oppionions that truth seekers here may provide on this subject.

So I was drinkin the coolaid when. . . . . . . .god showed up again. he said "Musicman, you must go play your instrument again this year at a church". I says, but god, I've grown so much since last year, why go back to Babylon for the root of all evil (and fun) . . . .money? he said, "u can use the money to buy me more of the tasty coolaid i tried a few months ago". "But you have an assignment, and that assignment is to play as awfully as you humanly can". "When the organist gives the cue, you call the cows home, you blow sounds that the devil himself hums in the shower." "That'll get them people running from the darkness of Babylon to seek light." "What i mean is they'll be running from that thing you play."
So folks, I was obeying a command from god. UUuuummmm, except I played awsomely and that money's buying me, more coolaid. god, I've failed ya again.
