Do you really want to get over it?

i'm asking if people might take a moment to seriously consider this.

now by asking this question i don't mean to imply anything like "just get over it already" - i don't think it's so simple as that.

but it's occurred to me that the mental freedom is actually not as valuable to some people as other things, and we do know the jw experience does effect other things in one's life like relationships and livelihood, or one's ability in these kinds of life arenas.

the topic makes me think that i am trying to compare something that really cannot be compared.

(just a note on thought process behind this thread.).

the other day i got into a discussion of opinion and i have to ask you all for your opinion because i am so curious what people may think about the topic.. i am on a kick now, lately that i feel the urge to tell everyone how much i love them.

there has been similar threads, but maybe if we get more specific about when we like to listen to a particular cd it could be interesting.

i was just listening to the oracle cd by michael hedges, great mellow acoustic guitars and i love the cover of tomorrow never knows.

so this one i'd say is for relaxing and blissing out.
