  found that music has helped with you getting over being a JW like a song or even a few lines out of a song that just says exactly how you feel.

  I know that over the years i have used music as an away of escaping sometimes just from everyday life.

  Untill a few years ago i found the right song for gettting over the pain and i just summed it all up.

  You want to kow what it is?

  Well i have always liked metal/grunge even when i was a JW i hid it though and a few years ago i stumbled accross this band and one of their songs just hit home with me!

  It's called SERMON by a band called DROWNING POOL

  Has anyone else got a song that they relate to????

  Spectre

  Lets see.....Head Like a Hole by Nine Inch Nails. The Fight Song by Marilyn Manson. Perfect by Alanis Morrisette to name the first couple that pop in my head.

  I don't know who originally sings it or what it's called, but I heard Johnny Cash's cover of it when I was in a store once and a couple more times since then. Something about "your own...per-son-al...Jee-zus..." Just the few words I did catch did something positive and serene for me. Hit core.

  Personal Jesus was originally done by Depeche Mode. Marilyn Manson covered that song all sorts of proper a few years ago.

  Natalie Merchant's Not in this life sums up how I feel about religion in general and my escape from the JW's

  Lately I've been walking all alone through the wind and through the rain
  Been walking through the streets and finding sweet relief
  In knowing that it won't be long.
  Lately it's occurred to me that I've had enough of that
  And lately I've been satisfied by simple things
  Like breathing in and breathing out.
  
  Never again, not in this life, will I be taken twice.
  Never again, never on your life, will I make that same mistake.
  I can't make it twice.
  
  Lately it's occurred to me exactly what went wrong.
  I realized I compromised, I sacrificed far too much for far too long.
  
  Never again, not in this life, will I be taken twice.
  Never again, not on your life, will I make that same mistake.
  I can't make it twice.
  Starting out from here today, swear I'm gonna change my ways.
  Once mistaken in this life but never twice.
  
  Never again, not in this life, will I be taken twice.
  Never again, never on your life, will I make that same same mistake.
  I can't make it twice.
  Starting out from here today...

  I love this song,

  Misty
