  !*sigh*! I met my first ex-jw today.

  I could hardly get any sleep last night and kept waking up... armageddon nightmares were bugging me. My family had left that morning for the entire day, and it was perfect for getting out of the house... I had already planned meeting waiting's son and his partner at a local starbucks in the morning. So, I got ready that morning... I guess the nevres were running so high my face broke out with a little acne overnight, but oh well... I'm a teenager. I was a nevrous wreck... I kept saying to myself: "You gotta go, you gotta go". And I did... the coffee place was close enough so I could walk to it, I arrived about 10-15 minutes early... I was really shaking badly and I thought if I had something to eat or something it would settle down. Well, it didn't... . So, there I was shaking out of pure, raw nerves just trying to calm down... lol, right accross from me there was these two parents fighting about their kid, I guess listening to them for I dunno how long got my mind off of everything.

  Anyhow... they arrived right on time, I first met waiting's son and his partner was there shortly as well. They greeted me, shook my hand... after they sat down, I can't believe what I blurted out. I said; "God, I need a drink". Lol, and I did... I was sooo damn nervous... and I still was throughout the whole thing... shaky, distraught. I got a little more comfortable though, the pair of them were friendly, talkitive... very nice. I thought I was going to be balling thru the whole thing (I can be a baby, but didn't shed a single tear.. ), but it just felt so normal to *talk* to people who understand, and got to get a few things off my chest in the process. Ended up asking some questions regarding college and other things (I really, really, hope I didn't come across as whiney or anything ... allot of my blabbing was about the bOrg and stuff).

  2 1/2 hours later, I looked at my watch at it was almost 12PM, I told them I probably should get home because my parents would be back soon. They offred me a ride home and dropped me off at the traffic circle where I lived nearby. Shook hands again and thanked them for coming to see me... walked the rest of the way home (just a few steps) and my parents came back not but just 2-3 minutes later. (I wish we had longer to talk) I told them I just got back from a walk... I was (and still am) reeling from the whole thing... I'm still trying to digest everything.. so overwhelming. I guess I learned a few things, tuesday or wendsday I'm going to get in contact with some people who can help me with my fincaicaly related college questions... I'm still not sure where to go for college (Either SC or ME, the latter would be cheaper but I don't like the winters and it would be in a rual area) and right now I'm just totaly drained... tired... my head and my eyes feel tired.(if that makes any sence) I had to attend a sort of going away 'get together' that lasted from 3 PM to 7 PM today and I felt so tired, people said it looked as if there was something wrong with me. A few people made some last comments to me because they probably wouldn't see me again... one person said "Do the right thing, go to bethal"... made me feel so guilty/dirty or something. And ever since I got back I've been just thinking over a delicious hot cup of tea just trying to make sence of life... doing it all alone feels overwhelming.

  Overall... the meetup I had was great. Finaly got to meet the people I've been talking to for a few months and they turned out to be greater than I had hoped... I'm really *really* *really* appreciative of them coming down to talk to me... I should probably let them know if they don't already. I feel just so much better about things I now I feel like I have some real hope! Well, thats it for now... I'm tired and emotinaly drained to the max. Thanks for readin.

  "This whole gay things is stupid. They say that they are born that way. NO. If they are born a man, they can only marry women, and vice versa. That is how their orientation is determined at birth."

  Last Thursday's Service Meeting

  by SadElder in

  in the event you had the misfortune to miss thursday's service meeting.

  1. boring announcements and an equally frustratng review of what needs to be done to prepare for the memorial.

  as if all in attendance needed to be involved in bringing the glasses, wine, bread, and the appropriate accoutrements.. 2. a 20 minute review of how to place the time and location on the memorial invitation.

  "3. A 20 minute "class???" on how to use the new map publication. An invigorating 4th grade review of how to look up a city on a map. Pardon me while I find a barf bag."
  
  FYI, this is the second time we have had this review. It was just as boring as the first one we had only a few weeks ago, because it covered the exact same thing... how to read a map correctly.

  Eine Kleine Nacht Music

  by Farkel in

  i've finally started recording tracks on the rachmaninoff rhapsody on a theme by paganini.

  i''m posting this little snippet to give those of you who care about what it takes to tackle a project like this.

  my big project last year was the "danse macabre.

  Farkel, If you played the original version of 'The Dance of Death' by Sanit-Saens... good for you! It is a very difficult peice... I have only played the inky-dinky String Orchestra version, I know how hard the original is though. If anyone doesn't know the history of 'The dance of death', Saint-Saens wrote it to sound like a progression of the dead coming from the grave into a church to play music, and it's creepy sounding to say the least.

  Anyhow, it sounds like a good start. Keep at it...

  Not to get off topic, but it sounds like you have a hard time about matching up with the orchestra... don't worry, it's a comman ill and I notice this quite a bit with pianists. It's good your working on it... It's my new motto though when it comes to pianists; good pianists are a dime a dozen, however a good accompanist/forgiving solists are so rare and true treasures to chamber/orchestra music! Isn't Paganini great? He didn't write much for the cello, except the caprices. Those are ridiculously hard, heck even David Popper said they were difficult. What other composeres do you perfer playing?

  Oh yeah, where is the mozart? Lol... Eine Kleine is something else, I've had the misfortune of playing all of it at a concert last summer. It's a classic, but the part is sooo boring. There is a section where I play the same notes over and over again... at least it isn't Pachebel's Canon, now there is a awful cello part.. during the whole thing I play the same 8 notes over and over like 40 odd some times. It wears on you... especialy if the violinist are wizzing around these 32nd notes... kill me please! lol.

  Latest Book Study

  by integ in

  at this weeks book study (which i attended for the first time in 6 months) the book is "united in worship of the only true god".

  in paragraph 10 it talks about the united nation's, and not in any glowing terms either.

  the paragraph condemns her and anyone who would be a part of her.

  Perhaps can I be of some help?

  Chapter 20 paragraph 9 reads;

  After World War I, there was a separating of all who claimed to be Christian into two classes: (1) The clergy of Christendom and their followers, who came out in strong support for the League of Nations (now the United Nations) while still holding fast to their national loyalties, and (2) true Christians of that postwar era, who gave their full support to God's Messianic Kingdom, not to the nations of this world. (John 17:16) These proved themselves true servants of God's Kingdom by undertaking the preaching of "this good news of the kingdom" earthwide. (Matthew 24:14) With what results?

  True servants my foot!

  Well, I mean... ask yourself.. could we expect any better from the guy who's killed 100's of US troops for no apparent reason in the war of iraq? Not to mention the people who were lured into fighting with the US becasue they claimed good intelegence, bunch of liars. I don't care if Kerry is anti-gay marrige, at least he'll be anyone else but bush.

  I never learned about the smurfs until I came to the forum...

  I wonder if the WTS has come out with anything about "Harry Potter .. his books/movies"..

  Can anyone elighten me on that one.

  Ugh. I once attacked some meek christian scientists about letting their children read Harry potter... you know, to impress the R&F. I feel guilty about it though, when I went home that evening I was just starting to finish the Goblet of fire... LOL. I guess all that harry potter and demonized cartoons like sponge bob and Pokemon finaly infected my soul with the blackest evil making me an apostate.

  raaar.. fear me.
