This must be what it feels like to be disfellowshipped...

I was listening to a Sarah Mclachlan CD the other day and this song reminded me so much of how it must feel to be disfellowshipped.

"Fallen"

Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I've held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

With this mind set, you are blaming yourself for the actions for a destructive cult. You have done nothing wrong, don't let anyone drag you down like that.

This song was playing when I left the KH the day I met with the elders to DA.

Sheryl Crow

Something's happenin'
cause everything's different,
but everything is fine, yeah

Cause this is the good stuff
and yesterday is only what you leave behind
it's only in your mind

Chorus:
You gotta talk to the one who made you
talk to the one who understands
talk to the one who gave you
all that light in your eyes
all that light in your eyes

There's no use pretendin'
you (or it) never existed
til you saw the light, yeah

Cause you're just beginning
you haven't missed it
it's only in you,
and you know what to do

Chorus:
You gotta talk to the one who made you
talk to the one who understands
talk to the one who gave you
all that light in your eyes
all that light in your eyes

If the world wasn't the way she is now
you'd be mysterious
she's got more use
and give it to me

When nobody's happy
that's not the world outside
where everybody hides

Chorus:
You gotta talk to the one who made you
talk to the one who understands
talk to the one who gave you
all that light in your eyes
all that light in your eyes

You gotta talk to the one who made you
talk to the one who understands
talk to the one who gave you
all that light in your eyes
all that light in your eyes

Yeah, thank you, thank you
yeah, everything will stop
yeah, thank you, thank you
for the light in your eyes

yeah, thank you, thank you
yeah, everything will stop
yeah, thank you, thank you,
for the light in your eyes
for the light in your eyes

I have sometimes thought that this famous Bob Dylan song was something like disfellowshipping

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

But in reality, that is not the right attitude. I am not d/f'd . I can come and go among the family as I want and even mingle with the dubs as I want. But if or when the situation catches up with me , I will try and adopt the attitude of another of Bob Dylan's songs -

Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when.
Don't trust me to show you the truth
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.

Well, you're on your own, you always were,
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Don't put your hope in ungodly man
Or be a slave to what somebody else believes.

Trust yourself
And you won't be disappointed when vain people let you down.
Trust yourself
And look not for answers where no answers can be found.
Don't trust me to show you love
When my love may be only lust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.

This is my df'g song:

Condemnation--Depeche Mode

Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side

Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride

If for honesty
You want apologies
I don't sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime

Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time

If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it's no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

Here's the song I basically had on repeat while writing my letter to my parents.

American Head Charge - "Loyalty"

It's just a reason to deny
All the limits that border
On the thinnest frailties
That makes a sudden change
I'll play my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that i keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all

Where is your loyalty now?
When all the cards have been left one the table

All of them
Bleed at the nerves That take so long to wear down
I'll play my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that i keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all

Where is your loyalty now?
When all the cards have been left one the table

This time I have made enough mistakes
For you to bear against me
Endure and break
Our original ideals
That let us down
And betray our trust
Like all your promises

I've seen the piece of sh*t alive in you
Cause I'm there enough to be here too

This must be what it feels like to be disfellowshipped...
