  Just discovered this one today. I rather like it. Lyrics below:
  

  Hey Ocean

  Lyrics:

  If I Were a Ship
  I'd sail to your shore.
  Just to see my true love
  The one I adore.
  I would part all these provinces
  In my paper boat.
  And I'd kiss you and kiss you and kiss you
  'Til we both just float.

  If I were a bird
  I'd sing out your name.
  Parched high up on my branch
  And I'd hope that you came.
  I would spread both my wings
  And I'd take to the sky.
  I would bear all the wind and the rain
  Just to be by your side.

  If I were a song
  I'd be in just the right key.
  I'd be all the best instruments
  In sweet harmony.
  Oh I'd play oh so loudly,
  In hopes that you heard.
  Because music is love
  In search of the words.
  Yes, music is love
  In search of the words

  I love this song: Golden Age Chris Staples: lyrics below
  

  song

  Lyrics:

  You don't have to be angry
  Turn it into something you can use
  You don't have to be lonely
  Find someone to talk to
  You don't have to be tired
  While you're still going out every night
  You don't have to try anymore
  That's the only way we get it right
  
  You don't have to be quiet
  Go on speak your mind
  You don't have to be defensive
  Unlace your boots and pour a glass of wine
  
  Well do you want to resurrect some Golden Age
  Do you sometimes wish you could turn back the page
  Do you wanna, do you wanna
  
  Do you want to resurrect some Golden Age
  Do you sometimes wish you could turn back the page
  Do you wanna, do you wanna
  
  Sit down for a minute and concentrate
  Be honest with yourself it wasn't all that great
  Surely there was some shitty times
  You can't resuscitate
  Yeah look me in the eyes with a straight face hon
  So while you saved a little money while your youth is gone
  And you dreaming bout your long lost Babylons
  
  Do you want to resurrect some Golden Age
  Do you sometimes wish you could turn back the page
  Do you wanna, do you wanna
  
  Do you want to resurrect some Golden Age
  Do you sometimes wish you could turn back the page
  Do you wanna wanna
  Wanna wanna wanna wanna

  Did You Have a "New Light" confidante you could talk to about changes while in?

  i had a friend and we always speculated on "new light" before it came out.

  i was an elder then and he was housebound, but a non-judgemental person.

  we had long discussed the growing number of anointed (in the 90's) and speculated how they would "new light" it away.

When the magazine came with the "New Light" that 1935 was no longer the shutdown year for the anointed I exclaimed to him, "They came up with something, get this."

  I wish he was here for the overlapping BS. Did you have a secret compatriot you could speculate with on upcoming "New Light". Were you busted for such talk?

  so more refugees in the english channel and a politician comes on the radio and says britain and france need to work together to end this crisis.

  how do you end a crisis where so many people are swarming to rich countries to escape dire poverty or violence?

  I admit to ignorance about this issue. Are there organizations in any of these nations they are leaving who are attempting to help them improve their homeland so they will be motivated to stay? I imagine these immigrants are fleeing war zones? I don't think you can do much about that.

  I'm able to say "Good Luck" without guilt. That's no little thing by the way.

  I don't know which nights are meeting nights any longer. It doesn't matter, on any night I do something disapproved by the WT powers that be, whether its entertainment of just thinking freely. So I guess you could sum it up by saying, committing the sin of being out of the fantasy loop.

  2. beliefs

  i need your help please, for an article i'm writing.. i believe that quite recently in the 2010's, possibly at one of the annual meetings of the watchtower, there was one speech (or was it in a publication?

  in a broadcast?

  ) where it was stated that the "organisation is our mother".

  Its amazing how we became "experts" of the Watchtower soup of doctrines. Such worthless knowledge. Gotta admit, we have it down.

  Need some advice, my gf just tried to commit suicide (very long post)

  by Jayk in

  2. relationships

  sorry for the grammar and spelling errors if any..(me 29 raised in the org) (gf 25 not raised) just left her at the hospital with (call her sara).. sara had just ingested half a bottle of her antidepressant pill and half a bottle of melatonin.

  this took place after a discussion we where having about a recent event that took place.

  long story short, sara told me she slept with my best friend/coworker(call him tim) after a argument we had, the morning after it supposedly happened.. i was pretty torn but i was maintaining and i even thought sara was lying because tim was such a good friend.

  I don't know her. I don't know you. We are not professionals though many have experienced similar things. One thing we know is that she needs her family and a therapist. Don't take it personally, I know that much. Mental illness needs the healing touch of a professional.
