  I just discovered Guns n' Roses

  i just discovered how good guns n' roses are.

  i was listening to a bunch of their songs and i can't believe they wrote so many good songs.

  i was a quite a head banger before i became a witness and after joining i avoided a lot of heavy metal rock and a lot of worldly music in general.

  It's funny, I almost started feeling like a teenager again listening to all this 80's rock. I told some of my coworkers the other day about my experience leaving the witnesses and rediscovering a lot of bands that were big hits in the 80's and 90's. They laughed real hard and made some good suggestions on some bands and what I needed to do (a little x-rated... horny carpenters
  ) and activities that they know I would enjoy. (one guy really wanted me to try skydiving... this was something I always wanted to try. He's done it several times before and loves it.)

  How Do I Get Rid of these Thoughts?

  by jwfacts in

  though i no longer think like a witness i still think "that is what i would think if i was still a witness".. everytime i see a birthday party or christmas on tv i think "ohh, if i was a jw i would think they were pagan, and not really having fun.".

  when i speak to someone at work and they say they got drunk or wasted on the weekend i think "oooh, if i was a jw i would be offended by that, but i don't really care anymore.".

  i would much prefer to be able to take life for what it is, not constantly compare what it was with what it is and what i am thinking it will be.. any suggestions on how to erase the ridiculous notions that were drummed into me from birth?

  I feel that way sometimes, the thing I like to do is to inject myself into the group instead of hiding in the background. Once you start getting positive results, it gets easier. Remember, half the battle is with your own mind, don't be your own enemy.

  Sign of the Last Days--Jonsson...

  by Confession in

  2. bible

  i enjoyed these quotes from the preface of his book..."what terrible wars, both foreign and domestic!

  what pestilences, famines...and quakings of the earth has history recorded!

  " -tertullian, 197 a.d.. "the wars continue frequently to prevail, that death and famine accumulate anxiety, that health is shattered by raging diseases, that the human race is wasted by the desolation of pestilence, know that this was foretold; that evils should be multiplied in the last times, and that misfortunes should be varied; and that the day of judgment is now drawing nigh.

  yes, lots of problems... wasn't worth it. The problem I see many times is that one party usually starts to take advantage of the other party thinking well, they are my brother and they won't mind. I nearly had to take one to court to get paid. (and I would have, hell with the congregation)

  i just got a visit from my jdub cousin.

  not seen him for a year or so.. anyway he's telling me that he's selling his house (his first place bought 2 years ago) as the society are telling them all that the end is in sight sooner than they think!

  and he said that he's gonna go part time at work cos he loves the aux pioneering he did last month!!!

  you are right, it was by aerosmith. The mp3 file was mislabeled, now I discovered a song by aerosmith that I like. (Boy, it's like rediscovering music all over again!)
