    This is a song I like, I think its fits now that Im no longer a dub. Its by Rascal Flat. its I'm moving on. please post yours

    I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
    Finally content with a past I regret
    I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
    For once I'm at peace with myself
    I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
    I'm movin' on

    I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
    Each one is different but they're always the same
    They'll never allow me to change
    But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong

    I'm movin' on
    At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
    And I know there's no guaruntees, but I'm not alone
    There comes a time in everyone's life
    When all you can see are the years passing by
    And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

    I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
    Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
    I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
    I had to lose everything to find out
    Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
    I'm movin' on

    I'm movin' on
    I'm movin' on

    WT, the one that I always associate with the JWs now is Bob Dylan's Positively 4th Street;

    You got a lotta nerve
    To say you are my friend
    When I was down
    You just stood there grinning

    You got a lotta nerve
    To say you got a helping hand to lend
    You just want to be on
    The side that's winning

    You say I let you down
    You know it's not like that
    If you're so hurt
    Why then don't you show it

    You say you lost your faith
    But that's not where it's at
    You had no faith to lose
    And you know it

    I know the reason
    That you talk behind my back
    I used to be among the crowd
    You're in with

    Do you take me for such a fool
    To think I'd make contact
    With the one who tries to hide
    What he don't know to begin with

    You see me on the street
    You always act surprised
    You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
    But you don't mean it

    When you know as well as me
    You'd rather see me paralyzed
    Why don't you just come out once
    And scream it

    No, I do not feel that good
    When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
    If I was a master thief
    Perhaps I'd rob them

    And now I know you're dissatisfied
    With your position and your place
    Don't you understand
    It's not my problem

    I wish that for just one time
    You could stand inside my shoes
    And just for that one moment
    I could be you

    Yes, I wish that for just one time
    You could stand inside my shoes
    You'd know what a drag it is
    To see you

    I love that song, I'm moving on,, my favorite verse is:

    "But I never dreamed home would end up where I dont belong".

    This has been a sad week for me, I have no regrets about my decision to d/a myself, but I am leaving behind a big part of my life. Most of it was miserable, but there are many relationships in our lives , including the one with God or a religion, that will always be with us. I think of the proud moments we had as a family while in the JW, those feelings were not false, maybe the whole thing was based on falsehood, I know it was, but I still smile at some of the things.

    Like my oldest son when he was 7 giving his first public talk, and how proud he was, how proud we were, and the tears in the eyes of the old ones when he came off the stage.

    Holding an old brothers hand as he laid waiting to pass on, and really believing he was comforted by the resurrection hope.

    There were some good brothers and sisters to me when I had no mother to turn to, no father either. For the whole most were not that loving or caring, but there were a handful of good souls that I will miss. It does hurt me to think, that they will think I am lost. I know they are the ones who are deluded , but some of them are so old and I just cant tell them my doubts and true feelings about the WT right now.

    No matter how bad home was growing up , in my case, I miss even the few good moments my mother, my dad and my sister had together. For all the bad, I choose to forget what is too painful to remember , and remember the short time we had together. I guess when I pass that kingdom hall on hwy 7 , I will remember when my kids were young, when we were young, and how hard we tried to do the right thing. Maybe staying in as long as we did , served some kind of purpose, for me it probably was security. I am ready to move on ,,,,,, but I guess it will take time for that old building to not be home anymore.

    If I should die this very moment
    I wouldn't fear
    For I've never known completeness
    Like being here
    Wrapped in the warmth of you
    Loving every breath of you
    Still my heart this moment
    Or it might burst

    Could we stay right here
    Until the end of time
    'Til the earth stops turning
    Wanna love you 'til the seas run dry
    I've found the one I've waited for

    All this time I've loved you
    And never known your face
    All this time I've missed you
    And searched this human race
    Here is true peace
    Here my heart most calm
    Safe in your soul
    Bathed in your sighs

    Wanna stay right here
    Until the end of time
    'Til the earth stops turning
    Gonna love you 'til the seas runs run dry
    I've found the one I've waited for

    All I've known,
    All I've done,
    All I've felt,
    Was leading to this
    All I've known,
    All I've done,
    All I've felt,
    Was leading to this

    Wanna stay right here
    Until the end of time
    'Til the earth stops turning
    Gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
    I've found the one I've waited for

    The one I've waited for

    Wanna stay right here
    Until the end of time
    'Til the earth stops turning
    Gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
    I've found the one I've waited for

    The one I've waited for

    The one I've waited for

    Well this song by Godsmack comes to mind. Not as deep as Moe's, but....

    Bad Religion

    Get Back!

    Can you feel I'm not like you anymore?
    I can't see, I can't breathe!
    See you quiver like the dogs on the streets.
    Looking down on as I beat you.

    "It's a bad religion
    From a broken nation.
    It's a contradiction..."

    And I can't take it anymore, Yeah!

    Who's to say I won't like you anyway?
    Take a deep breath, I'm alive.
    Can you HEAR me? I'm alive inside you.
    Agony creeps up behind you.

    [repeat chorus]

    And I can't take it any xxxxin' way!

    [repeat chorus]

    Can you feel it?
    I've gotta live with it every day.
    And I can't take the pressure,
    I'm goin' insane. Now go away!
    Go away!

    "Make Yourself" - IncubusIf I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow
    If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have fallen apart by now
    If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow
    Powers that be, would have swallowed me up
    But that's more than I can allow
    Bow, aww yeah

    If you let them make you, they'll make you paper mache
    At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes
    Then you crumble and blow away
    If you let them f--- you, there will be no foreplay
    Rest assured, they'll screw you complete
    Til your a-- is blue and gray
    You should make amends with you
    If only for better health, better health
    But if you really want to live
    Why not try, and make yourself
    Make yourself
    Make yourself

    If I hadn't made me, I'd have fallen apart by now
    I won't let them make me, It's more than I can allow
    So when I make me, I won't be paper mache
    And if I f--- me, I'll f--- me my own way
    POW, f--- me in my own way
    POW, f--- me in my own way
    POW, f--- me in my own way
    F--- me in my own way

    You should make amends with you
    If only for better health, better health
    But if you really want to live
    Why not try, and make yourself
    Make yourself
    Make yourself
    Make yourself
    Make yourself

    ***

    "Drive" - IncubusSometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
    And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
    It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague and
    Haunting mass appeal
    Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel
    Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
    With open arms and open eyes yeah
    Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there

    So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
    Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh
    It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
    That everyone else get around
    Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found

    Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
    With open arms and open eyes yeah
    Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
    Would you choose water over wine
    Hold the wheel and drive
    Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
    With open arms and open eyes yeah
    Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there, yeah...
