My Jimi Hendrix experience

by confusedandalone in

as a 13 year old a friend of mine had a jimi hendrix record and told me if we play it backwards that they said words.

he bought the record from a shop not far from where we lived and we were the only family that still had a record player.

so we played the record and i spun it backwards andnothing happened.

WONDERFUL interview ISOT4!

I love Cavett. And Robert Young in the back with a sweet smile.

I saw a Hendrix tribute at the Greek a few years ago with Buddy Guy and I forget who else...I'm thinking his bassist or drummer or somebody. It was great.

As a teenybopper I lived in a small town with one AM rock and roll station. We were so daring to call the station and request "ARe you Experienced?", under assumed names of course. I do loves me some Jimi.

My ultimate after school song going over French homework with a classmate.

Edited to add: BTW, when I first submitted this all the lines ran together into one paragraph, I had to go back and put the breaks in.

My mom was worried but she didn't go nuts. She threw away the cover to "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones" by the Monkees, but not the vinyl. LOL. She missed the "Are you Experienced" Hendrix album which I still have. I love Jimi, still.

Enjoy your music...

JW upbringing - the gift that keeps on taking

by Simon in

the things they take from you:.

first they take your childhoodthen they take your familyfinally they take your memorieswe all know that you limit your social interactions so you have few school friends who are not jws.

they openly promote this in their magazines and it's repeated at meetings throughout your formative years.

Pictures of outings and trips from days gone by? They become reminders of loss and pain instead of good times, even if they were good times when you were there.

No kidding. Many times I can look at a picture and feel the good of it, and even laugh with others about the "former friends." Then other times the reminder seems to put me in a funk and sometimes makes me angry. I hate that.

Yes, it has affected me. I haven't tried to make friends. I also know that I subconsciously numbed myself after I left to protect me from the feelings of loss as I tried to figure things out. I am surprised at how little feeling I have for some I was so so close to. I should say "no" feeling. Am I the same as them but just on the other side? I wonder.

Are You Upset My Miley Cyrus' Performance On MTV Awards?

by minimus in

Dagney

Upset, no. The snippets I saw on the news were just bad entertainment. But what's with the tongue? {{{shiver}}}

God's good for "$66 dollars"

by Separation of Powers in

jw
friends

last week's watchtower study related an experience of a sister who prayed that god would help her with her rent.

she needed $66 dollars.

she went to her waitressing job on an off night and would you believe?

Dagney

When something "good" happens it's always from Jah, not the hardworking, kind people that may have provided windfall.

When something "bad" happens, it's always a test from Satan...raise in rent, car repair, gas prices etc.

The final chapter in the confusedandalone story...

by confusedandalone in

this morning i get a frantic call from my sister (who has been baptized 1 year and one month and never attends meetings anymore).

in tears she tells me that this morning my father picked her up in the car and told her that i was am apostate.

that i no longer loved jehovah and that i was going to be disfellowshipped.

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. You have what really matters in life, your family. This religion is crap.

There will be ups and down with family and employees...but just keep looking forward...because that is where you are going.
