Lady Lee, you are awesome! We don't always agree, but I know where you come from. Your strength amazes me. It always has.

"Vinegar in freedom tastes better than honey in slavery" ......

Good list of what is "free"...feels good, eh?

Following the Watchtower is a form voluntary enslavement that can be broken anytime one wishes by uttering those magical words " I quit" Ok that was a shameless plug of my screen name but it is so true. They only hold they have on us is what we allow them. Life is a journey and who wants to travel it as a slave. I can relate to most of your freedom points as they were ones I experienced after telling the Watchtower to chuck it.

Very well said Lady Lee!

I only seek one type of freedom and this world cannot provide it.

Luke 4:17-21 (New International Version)

17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." [ a ]

20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21 and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

What is true freedom to live life how we want to? Or to live life according to God's will?

ROFL at Priest!

Y'all should cut Reniaa some slack; she's a beautiful rose.

Words from a Negro Spiritual:

Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom,
Oh freedom over me.
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free.

I salute you, Lady Lee.
