I am a Genesis fan. Prefer the old work ( lamb lies...selling england..). Looking forward to the Marillion concert in may!
i've been kind of sad the past few days for several reasons, but, there are certain songs that just cause the tears to flow whenever i hear them (and especially alone).
only time by enya.
i know that this song is often linked to the sept 11 attacks, but it really is just so hauntingly beautiful.

Marillion - Heading for the great escape
Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away
Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload
Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
You're holding on, you're holding on ...
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
You come here scratchin' at my door
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one
That you should have protected?
hello chumz on the board.
nothing really to do with jwism but who prefers the american 'bourbon' type such as 'wild turkey', 'jim beam' etc or who prefers a fine single malt scotch such as 'glenfiddich' or 'glenmorangie'?
i am not trying to stir up nationalism with this question but am just genuinely curious.. lfcv.
I prefer scotch single malt.
In the winter: Lagavullin / Bowmore
Summer: Glenkinchie, Cragganmore
Slainthe Mhath!
I know what I like and I like what I know!
before i got df'd for you know what i told the brothers i was having doubts....think theylll keep me out longer?.
I am fading for the last 2 years. I learned that people outside the borg are just as good as inside. I have few friends both JG and non-JG. I have to say that my JG friends are also questioning the whole thing. ( So I don't know if I am bad company for them or if they are bad company for me ). Reading the comments on this forum, has helped me a lot.
I have brains, why follow otherone's?
i recently realized that i don't know or need to know the answers to the big questions in life.
the details no longer matter to me.
i just kinda gave up on the struggle to be right or in the know.
Yep, I feel exactly the same. For the moment, I am rather confused about the big questions and answers. For sure, what they told me for 35 years in KH is not the answer. But who does have the answers? It´s all about believe. And I just want to enjoy the moment. Without feel guilty etc. I am fading out at the moment, I choose to do it that way. And it´s such a relief. No commitments, I am free! Finally!
I know what I like, and I like what I know
i have been hanging on the couch all day, watching friends.
i have to say that even when i saw the series like a dozen of times, it still makes me laugh out loud.. my excuse btw is that my throat hurts, i sneeze all the time, have a ringing in my ear and some times - the room actually spins.. what have you been doing your sunday?.
Hi Vivamus, Friends is great, I am sure you'll like the BBC series Coupling. I have watched a few episodes today. Even after seeing them over and over again, it's still great fun! fantastisch!
i hope this finds everyone well.
i feel like i am doing something wrong but i really don't care anymore, i've had enough.
i am 4th generation, born 22 years ago and raised a witness and need out.
I am in the middle of this also. I moved to another district a few years ago and then stopped going to KH. Elders visited once and a while but I told them that I needed time ( after my wife left me for a JW ). I also think fading is better. I still have good contact with my family, I know this will be a lot harder after DF or DA, if not impossible. One thing I know for sure, the "truth" doesn't set mee free! So no way am I going back. I feel free now. And if I am being honest to myself, I have had this strange feeling about the "truth" ( how I hate that word! ) for 20 years! I just ignored my feelings about it. It feels better to know that there are ( a lot ) more suffering with all this.
as an elder, i knew a lot of things that happened in the congregation, including "secret sins".
what i also knew was that some persons were quite good at being sneaky----especially the teens.
years after my daughter stopped hanging around certain friends and she was in her 20's, she told me little juicy tidbits of what some of her best friends regularly got away with.
When I was 16 years old and the wall between east and west germany was still there, brothers went to east germany to bring goods and bibles to the poor brothers and sisters. I once joined them and it was very dangerous etc. so therefor I liked it a lot. After all the booring stuff, this was exciting! I found out that 2 of the 3 brothers had a girl friend there! Everybody admired them for the good work they did, and they just couldn't stop to help the brothers in need at the other side of the iron curtain! These girlfriends were no JW's by the way.
i find myself in a situation that has me very confused.
id like your input on this.
i work for a large company (over 550 employees) and as such, romantic and or sexual relationships between employees tend to develop every once in a while.
10 years is just a second if you can live forever! ;-)
i recently remembered this jw rumor that went circulating around when i was younger.
two sisters call on a door in service and is confronted by an obviously demon possessed individual.
(the details always changed, floating lamps, speaking in tongues, the usual folklore) sensing a disturbance in the force the younger sister leaves but the older pioneer sister stays determined to give her witness.
I have heard the story before, a few years ago.
