i am sure that none of you here are rastafarians and neither am i. i have just noticed however that their religious music is soo freaking moving!.
i guess after years of kingdom melodies that had absolutely no form of feeling in them and were pretty much some guy plucking piano keys anything would be better.
but i literally sit here listening to some of these and almost break down crying.. .
Always loved Reggae since the seventies when I discovered Bob Marley!! Good spiritual music!! Too bad I didn't stick with that instead of joining the JW's!! Thankfully the JW chapter of my life is long over and I can always enjoy Reggae!
Peace and Jah Love, Mrs. Thor
it's some kind of funny... i was the perfect little ass, even that i never believe it all.. there was something that doesn't sound right... but, i was little, i was with my family, i never believe that my family will make me adopt a cult.
well i get batized in my mid teen years, i was the exemplar, ms at 19, even serve my time at bethel.
get married to a pioneer, start a spiritual family, get my 2 kids.
Hello and welcome and keep running..........
it is still a wonderful discovery and pleasant surprise to continually keep finding that there are some awesomely *good* people out there in the "world"!.
it's such a neat thing, this (slow, yet very rewarding!
) process of making new, non-jw friends.... i recently had my first meal at the home of one of these new wonderful people we've just met and i just must share this!
Great post Muddy Waters! So true!
I have to say I like BobFlanagan007's too

i have been reading post on this forum for many months and i wanted to thank you all for all the great posts and comments that have really helped me get through this hard year of fading.
my husband and i where born in jdubs and almost 1 year ago we started to fade , now that we think about it has been a few years that we were suffering from cognitive dissonance without knowing it.
we feel that finally we have our life back , a life that is just starting.
Hi outofthelionsden and a warm welcome to you and your husband!!
Mrs.Thor
in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.
i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.
just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..
Sending love and best wishes!
Mr. and Mrs Thor

Hello Brian and welcome!
such beautiful children!
last thursday the letter for the next annual meeting was read as an announcement at the meeting .as you all know this is the first time the gb makes such a big fuss about it as it will be broadcast in many countries at the same time as the one in new york ,or maybe recorded for the countries with many hours difference .it is the first time that they will include members of the rank & file in such any event ,an event which in yester years was strictly only for the top high ranking officials of the watchtower .. my questions are :.
is this a new way to approach their masses ?
stop the allienation between top and bottom ?is this the first time that they also try to visibly divide the rank & file to two classes ?
I remember being taught what Data Dog said! That was one of the first lies told to us early on, so not true, oh and so many more! Sad!
Mrs. Thor
