good morning, fellow posters and friends:.
please use your imagination to complete this little tale.
several endings came to me while drinking my morning cup of coffee on the patio.. thanks.. cc.
oh give me a home where the thunderclouds roam
and the skies are cloudy and gray where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the fog rolls in from the bay
Oh home without rain I think I'm going insane give me a storm since my coffee is warm
and I promise I'll never complain
so where is the rain uncork the waiting champagne
when we feel the first drop the champagne will pop
and the trees will sing the refrain
a cool sense of tranquility overtakes my troubled spirit.. i emerge slowly from a deeply entrenched, lifelong nightmare and proceed into gentle reverie, into quiet wakefulness.
youthful ideals, embodied in vaporous form before me, are a black reminiscence, threatening to return as an untold want having neither name nor substance, only a niggling dig that skewers my soul.
i shut it out, shut out all the noise in the head: irrational thought, excessive thinking that leads to depression, to insanity.

I wrote you a little poem on skyward i have reached

She was just like a butterfly who danced around then touched the sky
Each pretty flower drew her in and caused her little heart to spin
The nectar was at first so sweet she shared it with each one she'd meet
But as the years were passing by she realized it was just a lie
again she looked up towards the sky and thought I'm just a butterfly

mary had a little lamb.
whose fleece was white as snow,.
She was such a horrid girl whenever she would twirl her curl
but when she felt like being good she'd wear her jacket with a hood

Let's play with Mary and her lamb
with words that rhyme like toast and jam
and yes the fleece is white as snow
and where is Edgar Allan Poe
a ravens crying in the night
cause Mary's lamb is not in sight
i wish i knew what it was like to have an unconditionally loving mother.
i know she loves me and cares about me, but only within her narrow wt spectrum.
if i do not meet her narrow expectations, i am a failure to her.
I'm sorry that this is happening to you it is just one more reason why the org is so dangerous.
Throughout history the path of the "heretic" has never been an easy one but religions when given the power are ready to kill and destroy and the object of their hatred just has to be strong and courageous. You always hope that they will one day realize how their being manipulated or maybe the org will be exposed and crumble to the ground.
Don't ever give in and return that doesn't help anyone
i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.
link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.
as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.
The Lett video is so creepy. They always say how concerned they are for the young ones and how they don't approve of pedophiles. Well of course they don't approve it's not about approval it's about what are you doing to protect them. They use "bible principles" like the two person witness deal but what about the bull that is known for goring. Our society knows that if you arrest a rapist of children and after he does his time you don't just let him go free to live next door to a family and just kind of keep an eye on him. Listening to lett go on about oneness and supporting the org and not being like rebellious satan by believing the so called lies about pedophiles was really disturbing.
Another thing is the way they don't warn the congregation imagine if there was a guy with a dangerous dog that viciously attacked someone and somehow he got to keep the dog provided he was vigilant about locking it up but you knew he wasn't doing that and the dog had gotten out many times. one day some of your neighbors with children told you they were going to picnic near that guys house would your conscience let you not warn them. Telling parents of the victim that to tell anyone would be slander and they could be disfellowshipped. What kind of policy is that and to condemn them for it makes you an apostate. lett and his god are monsters.
today i awoke from dreams of nocturnal flight,.
hoping they might take me through the day and.
lift me skyward, though now awake.. .
he woke from his dream as he captured the beam
of the sun as it danced through his room
today is the day that he'll push fear away
like a cow that's jumped over the moon
