Question 1: ; Why did they kick you out of your house? ; Where did you go?&nbsp

Because I could not do anything to please my parents (I tried), so I finally started hanging out with lot's of worldly freinds, not coming home on meeting nights (more less, I got sick of the physical discipline)... I ended up living with relatives for a little while, then ended up following "The Grateful Dead" around the country till Jerry died. The I had to get a real life....

Yes I'm A glass artist

Hello everyone! Finally have the time to type more than a sentance....

My name is, Mike Warren... That's my real age in my profile...& yes that's my real pic

Though I was never baptized, I was raised in the silly religion... my parents started their study in early 1974 (at least i got 1birthday &1 christmas, not that i remember...) Mom was baptized in less than a year after she started her study... It took my father about 7-8 more years to give up smoking, but he still made all the meetings & ruled with a leather belt.

I also have a younger sister that has faded (she got baptized). She's funny... she'll talk all kinds-a-crap about how she doesen't like the JW lifestyle, but thinks i'm over the edge for surfing "apostate" websites.(i've been lurking for about 3-5 years).

Anyway, I attended The Essex (baltimre) Maryland cong. till I was about 14 years old, Then we move to Winchester Virginia for a couple years where we attended the Winchester cong. before moving back to Baltimore...

I was kicked out of my house just before I turned 17 after our return to Baltimore; which pretty much brought me to my full senses about something not being right...

Now I reside in Eureka California with my 2 kids & wife( not married on paper, But I ain't going anywhere)

Yes I left out all the juice, but I'm open to a game of 20 Questions.....

BTW, I love this place

THANKS,Mike

When We Dance, Music to Fill the Soul

by daystar in

this artist has had more of an influence upon me and whom i've become than he could possibly imagine.. sting - when we danceif he loved you like i love you i would walk away in shame i'd move town i'd change my name

when he watches you when he counts to buy your soul on your hand his golden rings like he owns a bird that sings

Get Up Stand Up

by Bob Marley

Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right (3 times)
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight

Preacher man don't tell me heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know what life is really worth
Is not all that glitters in gold and
Half the story has never been told

So now you see the light, aay
Stand up for your right. Come on
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
(Repeat)

Most people think great God will come from the sky
Take away ev'rything, and make ev'rybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your right, yeah!

Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
Get Up, Stand Up. Life is your right
So we can't give up the fight
Stand up for your right, Lord, Lord
Get Up, Stand Up. Keep on struggling on
Don't give up the fight
We're sick and tired of your ism and skism game
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name, Lord
We know when we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our right
So you'd better get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight.

TALIB KWELI

"Stand to the Side"

Go right to left, left to right

Middle passage connection

Yeah, about to build

Tell you which way to go

We go right to left, left to right

If you fight to the death, what's left to fight

X4

Yo, here we go

I wanna write away

I wanna write here

I wanna write brave words to fight fear

Write dreams and nightmares

Might scare the folks stuck in the day

With nothing to say,

While I'm way ahead by light years

So beware and keep the lights on

I wanna write the songs that right the wrong

Right on

Riding the light so you see in the dark

So deep you gotta be still like your beating heart

My words apply the pressure to make the bleeding stop

I see the art, of living right, eating smart

I wanna right to life, a right to death

Police read your rights from right to left

But I never write to remain silent

I fight through police line

Cops walk the beat that I write to

I teach minds, write rhymes with the right sound

Right now, journalists write up

I write down

Party people put a hand in the sky

Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry

We wet it up, go ask the people if they plannin to die

Can't stay to live, consumers is plannin to buy

Slow death operators is standing by

They take you order for the slaughter of the family why

Do they make it so hard for a man to provide

You better get wit it, or {stand to the side X7}

And the story line goes on

Right to left, who's right who's wrong

Fuck the politics and pride

I just to try to stay alive

To witness where the battle lines are drawn

Speak my mind and sing my song

I'm passin on the moral y'all

This is ain't play

True, you got to know the way

It's hard now

Open eyes

See hopeful lives

Sing it now

Making my way through life

Talking to elders and taking advice

Ignoring their words and paying the price

Living in the world where false preachers got us praying to christ

Get with the young girls in the choir and laying the pipe

No control of our soul we all wait at the light

So comfortable they we hating to fight to make it right

Late at night I'm controlled by the DJ on the mic

I love hip-hop and every joint he playing is tight

A day in the life is a brick in the foundation I'm like

A mason in Egypt amazing when I'm creating a site

For the world to behold and the story to last

So one day ghetto children can visit their glorious past

After Pac and Notorious passed, what do we have?

people worth more when they dead, it's so sad

Started with the slavery we finish the plan

But I broke the cycle, and became a man

Metallica - Dyers Eve Lyrics

Dear mother Dear father What is this hell you have put me through Believer Deceiver Day and day out I lived my life through you Pushed onto me what's wrong or right Hidden from this thing that they call life Dear mother Dear father Every thought I'd think you'd disapproved Curator Dictator Always censoring my every move Children are seen but are not heard Tear out everything inspired Innocence Torn from me without your shelter Barred reality I'm living blindly Dear mother Dear father Time has frozen still what's left to be Hear nothing Say nothing Cannot face the fact I think for me No guarantee, it's life as is But damn you for not giving me my chance Dear mother Dear father You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly Unspoiled Unspoken I've grown that f**king lullaby Same thing I've always heard from you Do as I say not as I do Innocence Torn from me without your shelter Barred reality I'm living blindly I'm in hell without you Cannot cope without you two Shocked at the world that I see Innocent victim please rescue me Dear mother Dear father Hidden in your world you've made for me I'm seething I'm bleeding Ripping wounds in me that never heal Undying spite I feel for you Living out this hell you always knew

What Things Did You Think Were "Demonized"?

by minimus in

jw
friends

everything, when i was growing up was connected to "demonism".

handwriting analysis was borderline.

wind chimes would bring the demons right to your porch!

OpenFireGlass

The only thing I personally thought would bring demonic influence while growing up was drugs... As for my parents they assumed anything I liked was demonized; music, skateboards, etc....

these days, I smoke 2 joints before I smoke 2 joints, & then I smoke 2 more
