  WELL I GAVE UP ON DIGNITY

  I LET IT GO IT WASN’T ME

  AND I GAVE IN AND THAT WAS WRONG

  I DIDNT FIGHT I WASN’T STRONG

  YOU CAN BE KIND

  YOU CAN BE CRUEL

  YOU CAN’T BE BOTH

  YOU CAN BE KIND

  YOU CAN BE CRUEL

  YOU CAN’T BE BOTH

  AND TO THE RIGHT THERE IS A VOICE

  AND TO THE LEFT AS GOOD A CHOICE

  AND EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE SELDOM SEEN

  THEY STILL EXIST THOSE INBETWEEN

  YOU CAN BE KIND

  YOU CAN BE CRUEL

  YOU CAN’T BE BOTH

  YOU CAN BE KIND

  YOU CAN BE CRUEL

  YOU CAN’T BE BOTH

  AND WHEN YOU’RE HUNGRY AND YOU’RE THIRSTY

  AND YOU’VE NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE

  IN A WORLD OF JUSTICE WITHOUT MERCY

  WELL THAT’S NO PLACE TO LIVE

  YOU CAN BE KIND

  YOU CAN BE CRUEL

  YOU CAN’T BE BOTH

  YOU CAN BE KIND

  YOU CAN BE CRUEL

  YOU CAN’T BE BOTH

  AND PRISON

  SELDOM WORKS

  FOR THE INNOCENT

  AND HEAVEN

  SELDOM WAITS

  FOR THE RETICENT

  YOU CAN BE KIND

  YOU CAN BE CRUEL

  SO TAKE A STAND

  SO MAKE YOUR CHOICE

  AND WELCOME TO

  here is an interesting challenge for the folks.

  this thread revolves around one subject, and that is thomas paine's brilliant critique of the bible written in about 1795. he did most of this from memory, while in prison in france.. http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/thomas_paine/age_of_reason/.

  the challenge is this: critique his essays.

  yeah i'm feeling ya

  Thats got to have an affect on a young persons emotional development.

  it has an effect on anyones emotions. i was df-ed for 18 months and was virtually a basket case by then.

  see the thing is even tho supposed 'princes' do not understand..the fact is that a creator knows the effect such cruel treatment has on his creation..this for me is sure evidence that jah is not directing jws

  not that this knowledge makes me any saner however

  My story: "Pop!" goes the Little Circuit Breaker

  by TJ - iAmCleared2Land in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess it's about time i write my story.

  i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.

  i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

  If they do not show repentance, not only will they not receive thier inheritance but at a time you have designated you will have a hit man put them to death.

  unless they are in the nation of israel...in which case they get to do it themselves

  2. major organizational changes about to start rolling out, one is changes to the "service committee" and titles, po to be done away with, thats all i know for now.

  at least when ray was outed it was because higher ups questioned his more reasonable humane attitude toward the r & f.

  not seeing much of that coming from headquarters lately.

  unless the idea of doing away with the title of p.o is the apostates idea and this had 'alerted' the others who don't want to relinquish titles.

  i was discussing this at dinner with my pioneer sis and her ms husband this evening...we think that p.o.s should now have the title 'the lowly one'. see how they like to introduce themselves to others with that title..

  wouldn't change the mind set tho.

  when i was appointed p.o there was another elder that wanted the position..and boy did he sulk when he didnt get it..started parrotting things that other elders said in that meeting in their voice..talk about childish. i could have cared less anyway - i wanted to be the service overseer. which i became the next co viist because by that time it was a new co who wanted to be different from the co that had appointed me and also because the elders that had voted for me had now moved so my supporters were now in the minority..so i got to be service overseer for a few months until another elder decided he had had enough of doing the school and so pointed out that since i hadn't completely erradicated irregularity then i wasn't up to the job and he could do it better. so he tried for a few months and then when he wasn't successful he decided to move congs aswell.

  lots of evidence of holy spirit there then..it was almost as if someone was doing something wrong that was stopping the flow...o wait a minute that was me...o no wait another minute it wasnt at that time altho one could understand that being treated like crap could eventually make someone act crappilly

  my sis just had their co visit..i asked if the public talk was shortened..and she said they had been told it wouldn't be this time round.

  so in other words all the elders have got to reduce all their talks to 30 mins

  but the co who only has 1 doesn't have to....

  seems fair
