do you live nearby a church so you can hear bells? whats the effect they have on you? |
||||||||
|
|

i obky hear them on sunday walks when people are getting married, i generally like them, if they were going off everyday it would do my head in |
||||||||

dont they play motives with bells where you live at certain times of the day like when the evening has approached, right when your belly is full and you're on the couch chatting on xltronic. aaah. |
||||||||

i like it when its just the sound of one bell slowly tolling |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yes i like the single bells too, motives makes me think about christmas. we'll be there in no time. |

I'm surrounded by no less than 4 churches and none of them ring their bells. One has choir practice once a week which I can hear, that's it. |

My flat happens to be in a hipster-neighbourhood in the "atheist capital of Europe" . So there's a nice gothic-looking church-building nearby. But it's not used as a church anymore and has become an "arts center" where you can look at very unispired art. So no church-bells for me. I wouldn't mind them. A few kilometers away there's a church in the forest where they sometimes play simple, medievial melodies on the church-bells. I enjoy those. |

The flat where I live overlooks a church which is no longer a church but a recording studio where people such as Thurston Moore go to rehearse and record (the majority seem to be tuneless fucks plodding out the same fucke). However on a Sunday some Black Church uses it and do all the thing that they do, loudly. I mean, I don't mind, I think their heart's in the right place and they cause no fuss. Other people moan about it, but, to me, it's harmless. And I speak as someone who gets annoyed very easily. But no bells. Sadly. |

There’s few churches nearby but I don’t hear the bells much; also I don’t see/hear/know of choirs. |

I used to chat with this great reverend nearby until he went back to Australia. He had a doctorate in theology and was smashing to talk with; we’d have great, deep conversations. I learnt a lot from him. Once in a while I would go to his service on a Sunday, but I pretty much nearly always failed him. There’s something that creeps me out about groups of people (i.e religions, cults, political groups) having ceremonies. He was a very clever man, he taught me a lot, but not so much in church. Since he left I haven’t been back. So no I don’t go to church, though I did learn a lot about the bible and what the beliefs held are exactly thanks to this rev. I must say I found that most of what I learnt from him was pretty solid. |

the belbs, the belbs (ho ho ho) there's a chapel / contemplation space thingy here in hospital but it's all the way ovèr on the other side of the ward and i'm too lazy to have my eternal soul saved. nah i jest but a lot of the more religious guff i've come out with has been influenced by the voices i hear on a daily basis, it's hard to remain rational at times. the actual services i've been to here have been pretty wishy washy middle of the road c of e gubbins, i don't remember a lot of what our polite but underwhelming vicar had to say |

though i admit having the knows about how to take stuff like the bible is key, but you have to really meet some kind of talented person to get your curiosity and enthusiasm. |
||||||||
|

|

yes chapels in hospitals are sadder than mosques in airports, but in the latter you can at least lay on the ground and sleep. having tried both |
||||||||

hard to remain rational, i know what you mean. there is an italian rock superstar that says its about 'balance on madness' if that can help |

it always great that you see it when you post here though, i hope you continue that way and come out of it, and the shit voices stop because you arrived to it with your brain |

I once went to the local Sufi-Muslims. Given their reputation for a philosophical and peace-oriented approach I was curious how they'd explain those passages in the Koran people are usually upset about (slaughtering unbelievers etc). The answer I got was not that great. I was told a parable about a mother who takes her child to the doctor and then the doctor subscribes some heavy medicine the mother doesn't want, but which is necessary. Then I went to their worship service. It was quite astonishing. Three women dressed in black robes, sort of like witches, entered the room. Then they picked up the scriptures of the Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, the Hebrew Bible, New Testament and Koran and read out passages. Then there was singing, prayer and a mixture of more or less solid philosophical musings and wishy-washy tips for a harmonic life that could have been taken straight out of a women's magazine. It was both fascinating and repelling and weird as fuck. |

my best friends lived id say less than 100 meters from a modern church building with a large tower. i remember how i was astounded of the volume the bells had even with closed windows. they were ringed (thats not the right word i guess, because it understates the effect) hourly and usually more than just single bells. it appeared to be a whole concert everytime. he absolutely hated it and i guess it must have been quite annoying, since it was so loud and constant. they ringed them for 15 mins on service too, which can be quite a long time if you dont like the sound of it. it didnt make me wish to live near a church and eventually they moved away. |

the bells were kind of anonymous, no virtuosity or something, must have been an order of the pope |
