im sure that this has been a topic here before, but i stumbled across this website and thought that it was pretty interesting.
i happed to see one guy's profile and thought that it was pretty pathetic.
browse around and let me know what your opinions are.
OH...MY....@#%$#@ god....
I do NOT miss that AT ALL.

as a jw kid, i was always hearing about not listening to certain music.
one reason my mother called me apostate is because she saw some cd's i had - she called it gospel.
some of them were decidedly what is termed "chrisitan" music in the store, some are crossover artists (chrisitian but played on mainstream/top 40 radio) and there is alot of country music that is spiritual for lack of a better word.. i was always under the impression that "unapproved" music would be songs with lyrics that go against biblical principals - sex, drugs, etc, not music that promotes good things in life, or glorifiying god and jesus.
It's funny really now that if you were to recreate the kindom melodies and make it not so "mono" it is frowned upon and may be 'postate as well. I forgot which k.m that was from were "they" discouraged the kingdom melodie bootlegs! . I saw that here first by the way. And once more when I had the real k.m in my hand. I could'nt believe how stupid is was to make a big deal over it. Which come to think of it; it could be a copyright violation if I'm not mistaken golly....

i would be here speaking my mind as a normal human being.
i was thinking about that a second ago and wanted to share that thought.
ten years ago i was confronting a close freind of mine about why he was parting from the collective, of course he had valid reasons to be agnostic at the time.
Yeah.. I think so too

Freedomlover: I know, I actually know his brother and I'm really in the process in getting his phone number again. Who knows were that will go.
ive been watching my number of posts climb towards 2,000 in recent days.. it seemed a good time to contemplate what ive learned in the two years, seven months and five days (according to my profile) since i joined the interactive fray although i lurked here for more than a year while i was a jw elder.
during that time, i read every single post starting with the first page and caught up.
of course, its impossible to read every one now, its so big, but it's been quite an education.
Thanks for sharing willy, and congrats!
I took to mind number 5, all too true when running into dubsin my area, since in the collective it IS a small world after all.I really enjoyed reading that. Thank you.

Ten years ago I was confronting a close freind of mine about why he was parting from the collective, of course he had valid reasons to be agnostic at the time. It's just that I was so closed minded about his opinion 'bout it. He also questioned the knowledge of the organization in regards to chosing a persons' own right to have any medical treatment that they wished.
I told him to not run ahead of the org. Don't allow satan to blind you, you're turning into an apostate!I can't believe that I said those words.
But you know, he just smiled as he looked at me. And said,"That's where you and I differ, I'll always accept you; but the real question is... will you still be my close friend now that you finally know my stand as regards to the religion?"
I could'nt answer. It was also the beginning in my search for real truth. His example of remaining cool under pressure stood out in my mind. And now ten years later I look back at that moment and wonder. What would've happened if I took my blinders off, and kept him as a close friend to this day? We both had the same tastes in regards to music recordings and thoughts on life,ect. It just took me 10 years to notice that I lost a good friend because of my foolishness.

i really love this song and have been meaning to post the lyrics for some time.
everytime i hear this song it hits home for me.
for those of us who have family in the truth but have chosen our own separate path - this is for us.
I totally agree with you on regards to that song "numb". The one that also reminded me of myself was "my december" by them too. Check it out. Just to have someone to come home to ; to love you unconditionaly, I'd love that.

hey all you great people - in case you read my letter i sent to my dad the other day you may be interested in his reply.
(see topic history for letter to my dad) .
i am so happy and relieved.
I'm really happy for you that he was able to reply back from the heart. I hope the same will true with me and my folks someday. Though deep down inside I feel they will understand too. After reading that; I feel that there is hope for me.
