tool is my favorite band right now.
i really connect with their music and lyrics.
ok i like fluffy stuff sometimes, heck better than ezra is one of my favorite bands.
A friend sent me a quote that says:
Music holds the power to open our hearts, our minds, and our
consciousness to a powerful, wise, and spiritual place.
I totally beleive that, we can relate to it and find comfort from it.
Working in radio for a few years, i have learned so much about music.
There are so many songs that i love and that bring out emotion in
me, its hard to pick just one.
well i am no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.
i had fully intentioned to disassociate myself from the platform today, but i decided that if i wanted a chance to save my marriage that i'd better tell my wife.
she immediately went to to one of the elders.
Thanks KLS..
From one monkey to another, you deserve a smooch too!
How come i just get one though???
Matt,
This reunion is still so weird to me, i would have never thought
that i would be talking to you again (of all people on an apostate
website), but your right.. there is hope!
Thanks for not shunning me anymore

canada's 'sad' beer calamity
thursday, april 07, 2005
a beer truck flipped over on a roadway overpass in halifax, nova scotia, monday, prompting local officials to comment on the tragedy.
| Canada's 'Sad' Beer Calamity | ||
Thursday, April 07, 2005
"It is sad," Capt. Scott Logan of the Halifax Regional Fire Service ( search ) told The Daily News of Halifax. "Chances are they won't recover any of the beer." The truck, hauling 46,368 bottles of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale ( search ), skidded to a stop against the overpass's guardrail, luckily avoiding a 50-foot plunge down to another road. The female driver was pulled out of the cab uninjured ? "more frazzled than hurt," according to Logan ? letting rescuers focus on the calamitous aspects of the disaster. "I had a tear in my eye, actually, when I was watching it," said police Constable Mark Hobeck. "It was full of beer. We were hoping a Hostess truck full of pretzels would come by, but no such luck." |
Wish i would have been in there with straw in hand!
On that note.. we are leaving for vacation tomorrow, so
i thought i would post a story on a lighter note.
Take care everyone! we are taking our little guy (3 yr old)
to Disneyland for a week.

i posted here a bit a while back.
quick background- df-ed when i was 21 (10 yrs ago), left the jw's as a single mom with a 3 yr old son.
jw mom helped me raise him for the first few years, so my departure was a sticky family mess.
Yes, you did indeed do the right thing. Good for you for
putting your foot down. Maybe this will get her to re-think
her ways. Even if it doesnt, she is learning that she
cannot treat you this way anymore. Stick with it, you
are the one who is in the right.
I am in a very similer situation, its hard, but you need
to do what is right for you and your children.

I was the opposite. I use to be able to watch anything, but now i cant watch any
scary movie's. I get creeped out to easily.
Last scary movie i saw was The Ring. And it still keeps me up at night.
Ok, i know.. im a whimp

(not sexual)we ran into an old friend that we first met when he was not a practicing dub about 10 years ago.we used to go out to dinner all the time and both his wife and mine got along well.he was a former ms and while i didnt know that he had a background with the org at the time i was all the time talking about our need for a purpose in life.. i thought i would influence him in the truth and show him the way to salvation even though i was at the time way far from the society's acceptable persona of good standing..well,after a night of many crown royals and crab legs and prime rib and pasta bar he told me that he used to be an ms.. he was very shy to admit this as his lifestyle was not befitting a christian.for some reason or another we drifted apart and lost touch.in the meantime a couple years passed, well more than a couple maybe 10 and last years district convention,guess who we saw?yep my buddy sitting 2 rows across from us.. let me give you some background,i was raised a dub and went crazy at 16 before being baptised.ive never been baptised.i had always believed though, and had never went to college.i put in full time hours though never was recognised at all as you know.. some of you may know that there was a few years lapse there and then we found out the truth about the truth.without telling the whole story i would like to skip to this week.my friend is a home improvement salesperson the same as i am.we first saw him going out the door where the smokers hang out.we hadnt seen him in a while so we called out to him.he told us right away that he was back in.i took a looooong pause and said that i had done a lot of research since i had last seen him.. he said (thats great, so when are you getting baptised?
)my wife was with me and she just looked at me like,this ones yours.well i brought up a few points about the usual un thing the flip flop and the fds.then he just walked away and shook his head.this was so abrupt it was uncomfortable.my wife and i went back to our respective booths in the homeshow and just thought to ourselves(he is blinded).. on the very next break my wife had,she walked towards my booth and just happend to passs him againl.he grabbed her and said i know your husband feels that way,but do you?you know that right now you have to make a choice.. to make a long story short,my wife who has never been a dub and has no problem with the truth told him that she is the one who showed me the truth about the truth and started to speak of the need for truth in speech and the consistancy in beliefs.needless to say he spoke of ,either you have gods spirit or not.. we both tried to reason with him however it was clear he was brainwashed to the point of unreasonablness.. .
those dubs are programmed to reject
ko38,
you might have planted a little seed of doubt, you never know.
maybe sometime in the future he will do some research on his
own based on what you said to him.

those of you who saw my threads, know that my grandpa was going to die.
you may also remember the fact
that he went from the catholic religion to jw"s, may have had this wrong at first, but in 2003. we discussed the fact
cindy,
i understand your decision to go back, family bonds are very strong and very
poweful. I have wanted to go back many times, simply because i feel so
lonley without them. But in the end, i just keep thinking of my son, do i really
want to raise him with the jw mentality? No, i sure dont. You do need to do
what is right for you, sweetie, and i hope that whatever decision you make, you
are truly happy.
I am sorry for your loss, when my grandpa died i was shunned and treated
very badly. The elder that was in my JC hearing told my family he didnt want
me sitting with them. I have not gone to another funeral since, even when my
gandma died. Your family is very loving, you are fortunate to have that. :)
