I was looking for Montserrat Cabelle who I love and found this. Now I really liked Queen but this is weird.

beksbks: Thanks for your link. I have that piece and it is beautiful. I'm not into Opera but do love a lot of the Preludes, Intermezzo's and Aria's. Hope you enjoy this.

i've finished writing my novel (50 thousand words) about my years spent in federal correctional prison when i was an obedient little jw.. the editing and rewriting stage now commences.. i need your help!.
here is how you can help me.. i can't know what an outside mind wants to find out concerning this experience.
i can only conjure up what seems interesting to me.. tell me what you want to know about such a personal experience.. that will give me a checklist to compare to what i've written already.. i may have missed many little details which are very important to a reader.. i may have neglected essential questions which must be answered in order to satisfy the mind.. please offer me your curiousity.. thanking you in advance; i appreciate your taking the time to advance my novel to the finish line.. (i wrote it as a fictional work because i could not honestly write about myself without the distance of this device.. so, i made myself into a character with a different name.. the identity of everyone else is non-fiction.
Sorry, I misread. I thought you meant that the Org was your prison. Didn't realize that you actually spent some of your years in a Federal Correctional prison.

Because I'm here for only a short time, someone else may have already asked the question. I would be intrigued to know why a person would become a witness in the first place. What was it that initially attracted you to this organization and what was your state, emotionally, spiritually and even physically prior to becoming interested? Were you on solid ground, were you looking for something, were you going through a traumatic experience, or like my mother, were you in a great need to connect to anyone that showed any interest in her, that someone would listen. The fact that witnesses came to the door may be irrellevant; that Mormons could just have easily shown up at that door that fateful day. Maybe these aren't the questions you had in mind. If so, sorry.
in a sense its my fault, i made her take a look in the loft to see what she wanted me to take down.
anyway while she was perched on top of the ladder, she slipped back and banged her head/neck/back.
she is ok, up, smiling and joking compared to before when things looked quite serious.
(okay, i know i said i'd be taking a break from jwd, and i will, but i just remembered something that i felt necessary to post here because it was bugging me) .
there are some of you out there who believe the governing body meticulously crafts subliminal images that are hidden throughout the society's literature.
you say that it is impossible for these to be mere accidents or just the work of sloppy artists because there is so much painstaking review and every image must be approved by the gb before being published.
I totally agree. ........ Hey, who are you calling a kook? Can you tell I've got nothing better to do right now?
that got me out of the wt organization.
john 35 -38jesus said, "i am the bread of life.
the person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.
Those who are more into the religion for doctrine rather than a social situation find it easier to leave.
I agree with that statement. I truly believe that is the main reason why my mother stays. At times I have made her think but she's afraid because this is all she's knows for 35 years. It's about integrity and discernment; that you remain true to yourself even when it may be scary and not fall for everything that comes your way.
knowing that its almost december, and that i will be putting up a tree, my mum told me today that she doesn't want to be invited over to my place while any decorations are up.
she later sent me the following sms: (edited for grammer & spelling).
"i wanted to say that, as you know all the rubbish about santa claus, when you have kids will you allow them to be deceived with this lie?
Mary: I couldn't help myself. Made it into a Xmas card for anyone that wishes to send a card to someone . Strange that they would use the term Xmas instead of Christmas. I should send it to someone I know pretending ignorance that they don't celebrate; as a thoughtful gesture showing the history of the Organization; that he might be impressed. I know, I'm not always nice.
I printed it out, but sorry it came out too small, would have to adjust.
what do you like to smell on male/females?.
inquiring minds want to know!!!.
purps.
I used to wear Givenchy: L'Interdit. I still have Obsession by Calvin Klein but I haven't worn any fragrance for a long time because so many people are allergic to it.
My husband wears Polo. I first bought it for him when we first got married. My son bought Blue Jeans last year. The salesgirl assured him that it was much like Swiss Army (which my daughter wears). He threw it out. It reaks!! Hopefully no one mentioned wearing that.
I do have a hand wash though and I love the fragrance: lemon verbena
finally, right.
ok. i know this jw lady that i talk to.
she doesn't know i am an exjw.
Wow. I was just about to get off when I saw your post. Will try to respond tonight. Have a great day.
