You Needed Me

heavy, heavy upon my failing heart weighs your aching.

need for my full and loving devotion.. oh, how i spend myself willingly on your behalf as,.

truly, your desires outstrip my own.. were i but a younger and wiry man, would i scale.

Absorbed though I am in the moment -- all alone in this merciless world -- yet I think of sweeter days, days when you, my faithful, loving companion were at my side, at the ready to meet my ever pressing needs: those of heart, body, soul.

Who took you from me? I cannot believe that you should, of your own accord, slip away and leave me unattended, this fragile and wounded man who loved you so deeply but erratically. I admit to my manifold flaws. Were the others who loved you aware of my urgent needs? Did they insinuate themselves into your psyche and persuade you that your unbridled devotion to me was, somehow, unhealthy? It is by giving that we are renewed. Did you tire of attending to him who had become -- surely, without question -- your reason to live?

It is not too late. If you cannot open that door and reenter into the presence of our former reality, please come back to me in my dreams, where my life has long since taken up lodging . . .

my frequent walks these last few years about the neighborhood so familiar to me would ordinarily be construed a pleasant enough non-event.

a little mild exercise - taken in small doses to keep the joints operating properly - and a keen eye peeled for the ever-changing face of nature have rendered the daily promenade a suitable diversion.

until recently.

SYL:

Blessings and peace.

Love,

Hi rip!

Weird Tales is an American fantasy and horror fiction pulp magazine first published in March 1923. It ceased its original run in September 1954, after 279 issues but has since been revived. The magazine was set up in Chicago by J. C. Henneberger, an ex-journalist with a taste for the macabre. Edwin Bairdwas the first editor of the monthly, assisted by Farnsworth Wright. [1] The sub-genre pioneered by Weird Tales writers has come to be called weird fiction.

Yes, Vidiot, ISOCF is a must-read!

Your comments are spot on.

Dear Friends,

Some have expressed interest in the above title and their wish to have it for themselves. The chapter of particular importance to many of us is "Legalism - Opponent of Christian Freedom." At the following links you will find comments from JWD members and observations by Ray Franz on child custody cases, theocratic legislation, alternative service, acceptable secular work situations, and "labelling."

Thank you and happy reading!

Comment from Milton Henschel, IN SEARCH OF CHRISTIAN FREEDOM, p. 232:

"And what will the brothers do if we give them more free time?
Probably use it in watching TV."

Ray Franz's Response:

"Whether they consciously think of it in this connection, the men in positions of leadership also know that the Watch Tower organization has produced a publishing empire of tremendous size, one that has taken decades to build up. That publishing system with its large, expensive branch offices and printeries and the impressive, multi-storied dwellings for those operating these, are a source of considerable pride and a frequently cited evidence of divine blessing and prosperity. Any diminishing of the pressure on Witnesses to engage in door-to-door activity with the publications flowing from that system could eventually cause that empire to crumble or require its being largely dismantled. I seriously believe that for many of those in the organizational leadership, the very idea of this is unthinkable."

Just a brief post, here, friends . . .

Thanks so much for the wonderful tales!

Please come up with one on this theme: a withdrawn and socially awkward girl, despite herself, shows the way to peace for her fighting neighbors. It can be through example or words.

THANKS!
