What could it be.....

    After leaving chat last night, I was in bed snuggled next to thunderrider thinking
    One of the group had been doing blurbs of Kingdom songs, I DON'T remember any songs, or any scriptures or hardly any names of the books, I don't remember quotes from the stage or comments made by others. I don't know if it is so painful that I block it all out or what. When I was growing up before the dub's I could still quote chapter and verse now I struggle with just the basic jest of the Bible.

    Have any of you ever felt this way? I feel like over 16 years of my life is mostly a fog, some things come through strong but thinking of the conventions all I can remember is vague images.

    Maybe this is a good thing I don't know but I wanted to see what you all thought. I was so suprised last night when I saw the blurbs of songs being quoted and KNOWING I should know that song. I can remember lyrics to songs I've heard once 25 years ago. I have a great memory for music......errrr

    Hi, Sheila. For me, it's like riding a bike. I can go to a bible and still find scriptures, but would rather crochet.

    You probably don't remember the music, because that is a very loose term for the mind-manipulating stuff we endured for years. I tend to block a lot out, too. They lied to us and we lived their lie. Why dwell on it?

    I crochet too taught myself, I'm working on a rug right now out of the scrap yarn!!! Yes, I guess it just freaks me out that I could block so much out

    Yes, I feel this way too! I remember some pleasant times I had with friends, but songs that we sang and their books and their interpretation of scripture -that is all foggy! Someone mentioned the song "From House-to-House" in another thread and all of a sudden the melody came back to me! It was like a whole other place and time for me.

    Sheila, that is way cool. If I send ya a dish cloth, would you send me patterns for the rug (a great idea for scrap yarn) and the penis warmer? Please e-mail me.

    A nun at my high school taught me how to crochet, but I don't even hold the hook 'correctly' now. I just ordered a couple crochet books (I doubt there will be penis warmer patterns in either of them).

    It's a great way to stay sane. One of these days I'm gonna get back to painting, which really seemed to center me when I was younger. I love crocheting dish cloths (and, eventually penis warmers) for my friends for now, though.

    windchaser,

    : Sheila, that is way cool. If I send ya a dish cloth, would you send me patterns for the rug

    If you send me a dish cloth, I'll send you the patterns for an AC Shelby 427 Cobra. You can build it and send it back to me as a return favor!

    It'll cost you about 90 grand to build, but the "patterns" for it will save you about five or ten bucks. What do ya think?

    It could be you're forgetting the stuff. What's cool to me is that I can now look at parts of the bible that witnesses used to quote a lot and see a completely different meaning or another side of it. I don't actually read the bible either, but being on this board this stuff just comes up - so the same thing from the past has a different meaning.

    Farkel, hahahahahah I'll send you a dish cloth, but do you have any other patterns handy?

    Sheila, doesn't sound like too good a deal to me. If you DO build it (what is it, anyhow, a gun? mmmmm I could make penis warmers for guns...), maybe you could send me left over parts and the instructions, k?
