Pagan Blues by Todd Michaelsen
copyright 2007
I hear a sound out in space.
It echoes above me miles away.
Am I out of my mind?
No its real this time.
This music they play, from another place
It must be the Pagans of an Alien Race,
trying to find a new home in the sky
for their soundwaves.
And they sing with a feeling like I never knew.
Ripping off the ceiling with the Pagan Blues.
Now more than ever you need to wake up and reveal
whats true.
But only you only you can open your own eyes.
So you worship the sun and the seasons of rain.
They call you a "Heathen - enemy of the state".
The most dangerous kind - a lover entwined.
Your heart connects with your mind to your soul beneath.
Mother Nature is bleeding, she's down on her knees.
Screaming "Come to my side, don't let me die"
And she sings with a feeling that I never knew.
Ripping off the ceiling with the Pagan Blues.
Now more than ever you need to wake up and reveal
whats true.
But only you only you can open your own eyes.
I heard the song, so I sang along.
It gave me a place, a place to belong.
Fuck all this fear thats keeping us here.
Its time to move on, its time to move on,
and SING LIKE WE'VE NEVER SUNG BEFORE.
and then sing with the feeling
And then sing with a feeling that you never knew.
Ripping off the ceiling with the Pagan Blues.
Now more than ever you need to wake up and reveal
whats true.
But only you only you can open your own eyes.
i've come to love and cherish much of the wisdom that emanates from the dear ladies of this forum and believe watchtower boobed in making all women subservient to the men.
so, do you think women would make good elders?.

As a member of one of the many women who would have made an excellent "elder"...
I will suffice to say that many (*insert not all) on this board have left jehovah's witnesses, but forgot to leave the archaic hierarchy of gender back at the kingdom hall with their bookbags.
Jehovah's Witnesses view women as inferior to men. Period. Much like ancient Jewish societies.
"Sin began with a woman and thanks to her we all must die" Ecclesiasticus, 25:18, 19 & 33
Eve was Adam's "helper" and he was her "master." Women are to "remain silent" in the congregation...not to go ahead of any man. (elder, ms, baptized brother, husband) Women are in submission to men and are not allowed to pray ro preach inside the congregation without proper hat wear. etc. etc. etc.
I have seen this same treatment of women (except from the few "enlightened" individuals) from ex-jws. If a man were to keep any "belief" from his former religion ...this is a handy rule to have.
The treatment of women as inferior began in the bible. Ancient art & history (example Greek & Roman literature) show a different unfolding of women's roles.
The only guy who stood up for women was Jesus.
The old testament taught women were unclean, inferior...and their treatment & life were severely restricted and negative.
When Jesus came around, he treated women and men as equals. He cured of a woman who suffered from menstrual bleeding. He talked to foreign women. He taught women. Half of his disciples were women. After his resurrection, He appeared first to a woman. Women were there when he died, the guys ran away.
After Jesus left, his disciples did a good job of keeping women equal. They received Holy Spirit, preached, were disciples, apostles, prophesied, church leaders, held meetings in their homes etc.
notice: Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
AFTER Jesus and the death of the apostles...the inferior status of women returned.
I mean look what Martin Luther said: "If they [women] become tired or even die, that does not matter. Let them die in childbirth, that's why they are there."
I'm rushing here, but you get my point.
Gotta run to an appointment...you all have fun! (I leave this post unedited LOL)

here's a good scripture:
i picked one out that kinda sucks.. i should be "livingdeadgirl" that would fit.
it's also a really great rob zombie song..
hi dinah,
at least it's feminine.
i wish i had done better with my name too. cuz ppl think i'm a guy...and/or they have preconceived idea of who i am.
at least you are a cool 1972 collectible doll by Mego
if everyone who is signed up for the sectret santa can post a few ideas of the sort of thing you like in here, when people receive their names they can come in here and look you up so get some ideas .

i just got back from chrismas shopping.
i hope no one let the cat out of the bag as to who i am shopping for.
it took me so long..cuz everything christmas is so new to me...and there's so many pretty things to look at.
this is really for the guys, but i know the woman here will have some great insights for us stupid men so i hope y-all will offer up your best.. when the woman i am with starts to tear up or cry i feel totally helpless and useless.
this is one of the most dreaded situations i as a man can ever find myself in.
my older brother, the retired police chief, would get angry if a woman started to cry when he was writing her a ticket, he felt it was an act.
I can't cry at all. I am in therapy over it actually. I cannot cry!
i've felt like that...i was taking prozac at the time.
And I cried when my now-ex told me he cheated on me - in front of him - god I hated that.
i'm sorry u were hurt. crying is anger too.
In all other situations when someone really hurts my soul, I just turn on my Prozac smile and freeze.
i feel like that too, sometimes.
but, sometimes, when others show you true love, empathy & compassion...then crying is really, really good.
i'm a big laugher too. i can't contain myself. sometimes i embarrass others....
i need to be with people who aren't embarrassed to laugh in public with me or cry when they need to.

if you are a jehovah's witness please understand that i am not against you as an individual.
i am not an apostate from the watchtower organization and, of course, i was never baptized as a jehovah's witness.
however, when i was 17, i studied with the jehovah's witnesses for a couple of months, but quit.
If you are a Jehovah's Witness, ....
then you've come to the right place.
