  She Lost Her Man

  by compound complex in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  she peers into a water whose blackness is obsidian, whose depth is leagues greater than that of an atlantean trench that swallows, to this day, unwary mariners in search of mysterious ports of call.. is it a wandering lost love whom she seeks, him in search of el dorado, a hidden city of overgrown ruins, an impassable verdure that beckoned a foolish man to abandon home and hearth and true love?.

  the woman looks in vain: dark water cannot be fathomed any more so than the fickle heart of a lover who abandoned her when seduced by elusive, temporal riches that whispered from below .

  So long Marianne it's time we began to laugh an cry and cry and laugh about it all again

  for now i need your hidden love I'm cold as a new razor blade

  you left when I said that I was curious I never said that I was brave

  so so long Marianne it's time we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

  Oh you really are such a pretty one I see you've gone and changed your name again

  and just when I climbed this whole mountainside to wash my eyelids in the rain

  So so long Marianne it's time we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

  Part of the song So long Marianne by Leonard Cohen

  for any old-school ex-jws here that remember my many posts about my abusive jw mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion.

  she had been in the hospital for a month.

  it appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings).

  If There was a Cosmic Pain meter...

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine that it was possible to precisely measure the amount of suffering in the world at any given moment - a cosmic "pain meter".

  decide for yourself what the unit of measurement would be.. we can only imagine a fraction of the combined suffering that is being felt right now.

  physical pain, emotional despair, grief, desperation, loss, terror and hopelessness.. of course if there is an omniscient god then he knows to the last iota what that theoretical meter would read right now.. the bible contains a number of answers to the question of suffering - ever since the babylonian exile one popular answer has been to blame his nemesis the devil, "we know that we are children of god, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

  I can see why humans have come to the conclusion that were being punished for something or tested because this horrible world we live in makes no sense. We find out early that we're sitting under a guillotine and we're supposed to enjoy ourselves as we wait for it to drop. we're taught that there's a god who loves us but deep inside it doesn't feel right it doesn't look that way. i don't know what's going on here but whatever it is i don't like it.

  i've tried out alot of things but now at 62 as I get older i thought I would find the answers but all I have are questions. So here's to the cosmic pain meter

  i recently found myself on a gluten free diet and have never felt better, finally my health problems are solved, pity all those prayers to jeehooha didnt help me when i needed it.. now i am finding myself occasionally accidently 'glutened' and remember how crap i felt before.

  just another wonderful discovery ive made since getting out of the borg.. how have you found being on a gluten free diet and being gluten intolerant?.

  I am gluten intolerant but not lactose intolerant. We did our dna on 23 and me and it was exactly right it listed celiac as the most likely health problem for me it was extremely interesting if you have the money 300.00 you get a heath, traits and ancestry profile along with easy access to all the latest research. They have a special dna day maybe in april and it's a sale day and you can get the whole deal for a 100.00 I'm not sure though.

  rain, at long last, has penetrated into the interior of our land and my soul.

  the burning sun of a protracted summer had effectively removed my resolve to get necessary things done.

  We've been here in virginia beach for two years. I really like the weather a nice temperate seasonal change a few hurricane scares but overall pretty nice. The place we lived before was hot and often dry and not near enough to the ocean so I'm glad we left.

  The trees are very beautiful just passing the autumn peak i had been away from the color change for so long I forgot how beautiful it was and how tall the trees can be.

  That was so pathetic

  They don't claim to be inspired so therefore they're just making things up as they go along

  About 20 yrs ago I was having alot of acid reflux and then one day I realized that gluten was causing the problem and it absolutely went away as soon as I removed gluten from my diet. These days there's alot of tasty alternatives gluten free raviolis and stuff like that. it is more expensive but that's the way it is. recently we did our dna on 23 and me and the report showed that I had a very high possiblity of celiac disease if i had known that when i was younger i could have saved myself some digestion problems.
