Gordon Lightfoot

by RAYZORBLADE in

ok, if you're a canuck, chances you know that gordon lightfoot is about right up there with ol' jehover!.

but if not, nevermind, but i have to admit, i have been a lifelong fan of: gordon lightfoot.. this evening, i took his 'greatest hits' and gave it a listen, and as expected, i was still enthralled with his lyrical genius, and playing abilities.. anyone a gordon lightfoot fan?.

just curious.. all your folks living along north america's "great lakes" keep in mind, next month is the 28th anniversary of the sinking of the "edmund fitzgerald".. that song, by gordon lightfoot is haunting from beginning to end (over 6 minutes).. i personally love: go-go girl in love, bitter green, canadian railway trilogy, sundown, race among the ruins, wreck of the edmund fitzgerald, and well i like just about every damn thing he ever did.. your contributions?

The JOYS of being an EX-JW

by nicolaou in

add to the list and let's see the weekend out on a positive note!

1. sunday mornings.

alarm not set, cuddles with the mrs, tunes in the bedroom, coffee, bacon, another lazy coffee in the garden .

Going to an Indians baseball game and being able to go to my seat anytime I want instead of waiting until after the National Anthem is sung. And then singing along to God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch! Go Tribe! Go Cavs!

And oh yeah...not a dress or skirt to be found in my closet!

Thanks Pete, I don't know how to link like that. In November it will be 40 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald went down. Of course he sang that at the concert last week and although he is 76 and frail, he made it through all the lyrics. I would love to go to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Michigan, I looked it up on the map and it is waaaaaay the heck up there, 8 1/2 hours from me. It would be a gorgeous drive in the fall though. They have one of the lifeboats from the Fitzgerald.

God is busy with his property portfolio

one way i managed to de-programme myself was to imagine the god of the universe being behind the desicions watchtower were making.

it first came to me when barbara anderson described being in a lift in bethel discussing a property or land sale that didn't go through and her musing over gods involvement.. we are meant to believe that the god who made the universe is behind this...... http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/local/2015/05/12/jehovahs-witnesses-fishkill-tax-exemption/27206609/.

it stinks of greed, business and grandiose expansion.

Just read that article, man I agree with you. Wonder if the average JW fully realizes just how much property they are buying up, how many millions are involved and what luxurious buildings their money is going for. And all this at a time that is sooooo close to the end and the R&F are encouraged to scale down any job or worldly pursuits and young ones are told not to plan for a future in the "system of things". WTF do they need all this for now if Armageddon is right around the corner. Seems they are not believing it themselves. You got some R&F with menial jobs living in mobile homes while these clowns are living in luxury accommodations.

I was hoping Rayzorblade would see my post, I think he is still around. Listening to all the cds I got from the library I've discovered several new favorites. Of course I love the ones that were popular here in the states, the ones everyone is familiar with, but now I LOVE Baby Step Back, Race Among the Ruins, Did She Mention My Name, I'm Not Supposed to Care and Song for a Winter's Night. Can't get enough of Gordon right now!

After 2 years my parents make contact. The end result is that I promise them to cryogenically preserve ONLY their heads

by paulmolark in

it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.

i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.

a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

Paul I wish all the best for you and your family. Sounds like you have loving wife and children and a good career. You don't need her toxic presence in your life. There are so many good, kind people out there who can become close as family. Her call had to be terribly upsetting, but as the JWs always say when you get a nasty person at the door, shake the dust off your feet and move on.

Paul, so sorry for the misery you have had in your life, but so happy you are now free and leading a successful life. You are right, JW or not, your mother sounds mentally ill and was clearly abusive. I may have missed it in some of the posts but where is your father in all this? You said parents, so I assume he is still in the picture? Did he go along with the physical abuse you endured as a child or now support her hateful, insane rants to you and your children? I'm with the others who say screen your calls and have no further contact with her. What does your wife think of her insane rants, does she agree with her batcrap crazy mother in law? After all, your mother tried to break up your marriage with her lies.

Jehovah's Witnesses 2015 Regional Convention Saturday PM experience parents shunning children

clip 3 minutes long.

ron and brenda sutton ................warwick 3 children

it was the missed association with family that brought them back.

Oh, and I wonder how much $$$ the daughter contributes to this worthless set of parents for their upkeep. Did I understand correctly, they are at Bethel now? Living large on their monthly pittance. Bet they are happy she got a job where she had to interact with "wordly" people.

What a couple of f***heads! And after all that blackmail to get their daughter back in, do they seem happy? NOOOO! a more morose couple of morons would be hard to find. Did they even smile once, I don't know, it was hard for me to watch. Maybe I was too focused on her fashionable wanna be Amish outfit. Geez, I'm with the rest of you guys...pass the puke bag!

And you are right, not one word about how she came back because she loved Jehovah or knew it was the true religion, she came back because she missed her family. Do they even realize they admitted that?
