if there was only one cd you could choose that helped you through the time you were fading from one set of choices to another, which one would it be?

just one now.. mine would be cheryl crow-wildflower.

of course there were others, but i limited this to just one.there are several songs on there that helped me express my feelings.. then, i also relistened to all my old music.

No way! Bro. A.

Rick Wakeman rocks.

Are you a Yes/ELP/King Crimson fan?

The king’s taken back the thrown
The useless seed is sewn
Then they say they’re cutting off the phone
We'll tell them we’re not home

No place to hide
You’re fighting as a solider on their side
You’re still a soldier in your minds
But nothing's on the line

Say it’s money that we need
As if there were only mouths to feed
And knowing no matter what you say
There’s some debts you’ll never pay

Working for the church while your family dies
They take what they give you and they keep it inside
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan
Or go at it alone

I can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of here
Don’t want to fight, don’t want to die
Just want to hear you cry

Who’s going to throw the very first stone?
Oh, who’s going to reset the bone?
Walking with your head in a sling
Want to hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while my family dies
Your little baby sister’s going lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan
We’ll go at it alone

I can taste you fear
It’s going to lift you up and take you out of here
And the bone shall never heal
And I cannot make you kneel

We can’t find you now
But they’re going to get their money back somehow
And when you finally disappear
Will they say you were never here?

You’re working for the church while your life falls apart
Singing, “Hallelujah,” with the fear in your heart
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan
We’ll go at it alone

Hear the soldier groan
We’ll go at it alone

This is Intervention a new song by the Arcade Fire of Montreal.

The writer and lead singer was raised a Mormon and has sinced liberated himself from it. Music means different things to different people, but I can really identify with these lyrics.

Do you believe you have a particular purpose in life?

i ask this because as a jw, you are programmed to think your only purpose is to preach the good news of the kingdom....period.

but more and more, i've noticed in my own life a strong pull toward something i won't elaborate on, but it has me thinking that maybe we really do each have a particular purpose and it's up to us to discover what it is.

i know i'm kind of new to the forum, but please let me know if any of you have experienced this same kind of unusually strong pull toward something you can't fully explain.

I feel a deep sense of responsibility to have as much fun as possible. Included in this obligation is the mission to make others feel appreciated and dignified. Life's short, bad things are going to happen. We've got to enjoy the good stuff with passion.

One guy asked me about Beth-Sarim when I was a teenager. I was certain he was lying. Funny thing is, I remember that conversation like it took place yesterday.

I once found it impossible to explain in any logical way why beards are not used. He was a bible student(never did anything) and as I was trying to explain it to him the real absurdity of it all smacked me upside the head.
