those of you familar with witnesses.net may have seen me around the site, i've been posting there since early last year, and recently i was a moderator for a short time, before its sudden closure.. i was raised in the truth, daughter of a one-time elder and am a third generation jw.

i have seen a lot of changes in the society, some for the better, many for the worse.. i am now inactive, have not been to a meeting since the memorial earlier this year and not been in active witnessing since january 99.. so i am more out than in, though i have a few family members that are still witnesses, so i try not to put myself in the situation where i could be df'd.

(easy, avoid the elders!

Welcome, Prisca. I've always enjoyed your posts at witnet too. Many of us are in the same situation as you, not totally out, but not totally in. Doing a lot of self assessment, stepping back and trying to see things with a different perspective. This board seems to be more for ones like us, it's not like Witnet or WOL, although some might get that impression when they first happen upon the board. It's more like what you will see in the "sensitive" forums, except, ironically, there is far less judging going on here. Since no active JW's hang around here, the conflicts are naturally less. Simon doesn't even have mods. Isn't that interesting?

Waiting, what a place to put that Hello, hello, hello thread! Whose idea was that?

New Smashing Pumpkins only Online

by Pathofthorns in

some good stuff from this latest "online" only album.

probably better in my opinion than lots of the stuff on their last commercial album.. perhaps try downloading "real love" on napster if you're at all interested in this sort of music.

i know waiting, its all noise to you.. path

Running up that hill

by Kristen in

running up that hill.

it doesn't hurt me.. (yeah yeah yo).

be running up that road,.

Kristen

Love her music. It's so emotional, real. Not mainstream. If you heard Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up", she's the female vocalist on it. Here's a link to get to know her: http://gaffa.org/

I don't know where to download any MP3's though, I have several of her CD's.

That song was the one that got me hooked.

The lost books of the Bible

by Kristen in

and the lost books of eden.

books that didn't make the cut into the official 66 we have now.

anyone ever read or research them?

Kristen

I checked out a book from the library that contains the Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden. Also, I checked out a New English Bible that includes the Apocrypha. Will be doing some reading for the next few weeks.

Thanks for the links to the additional information, everyone. Will check back to see any additional thoughts in this thread.

Running Up That Hill

It doesn't hurt me.
(yeah yeah yo)
Do you want to feel how it feels?
(yeah yeah yo)
Do you want to know know that it doesn't hurt me?
(yeah yeah yo)
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
(yeah yeah yo)
You, it's you and me.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, if I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
(yeah yeah yo)
But see how deep the bullet lies.
(yeah yeah yo)
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
(yeah yeah yo)
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.
(yeah yeah yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
(yeah yeah yo)
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
(yeah yeah yo)
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me, won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
(hee ohh)
Say, if I only could, oh...

You,
(yeah yeah yo)
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.
(yeah yeah yo)

C'mon, baby,
(yeah)
C'mon darling,
(yo)
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience.
(oh-ooh)

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

Say if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

So if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

So if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems.

"If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill."

And the lost books of Eden. Books that didn't make the cut into the official 66 we have now. Anyone ever read or research them? Do you think there is any truth in them?

(hey, for number smiths, what do you think of "66" being the number for the books of the Bible? I never even gave it a thought before seeing it while I typed it out)
