"long time passing".. children in the witness community here in oz seem to be disappearing.. there was a time when each congregation could expect to count new publishers each year from the children growing up in witness families.

say 1 or 2 in an average 100 publisher congregation.

i think the kids must be getting smart and leaving before its too late, gives them an oppurtunity to find out what they really want you know

Ok, own up - were you a cassette geek

remember the district conventions of yester-year?.

say at some football ground ... possibly on the terraces on blankets or deckchairs and under plastic sheeting if it was raining (i'm talking about uk assemblies here, lol).

there would always be a handfull of brothers who would tape record the sessions with the old piano-key tape recorders strapped to the fencing and every half hour or so they would wander down the steps to change the tape or check the batteries (i think it was an excuse to walk around).. c'mon ... own up ... was that you?.

i never did that but i remember sitting on the terraces (on my blanket) watching brothers doing it and wishing i could instead of sitting there so bored, i used to have a fake weak bladder so i could get up and wander quite often, i used to use the toilets on the other end of the stadium just for an excuse for a walk

other than the kingdom songs i`m sure we must have squeezed in some time to listen to the radio between territories and on the way to the mettings.. my musical tastes vary from classical to heavy head banging music,basically i like everything!i love the cult,rush,van halen,boston,etc anything from the 80`s retro era.. but my favourite song would be everything counts by depech mode and she sells sanctuary by the cult!.

tool - deftones - led zepplin - a perfect circle - cannibal corpse - pantera - sepultura - duran duran - depeche mode - korn - napalm death - my ruin - kill II this - raging speedhorn - pist on - pissing razors - downer

flower, im like you, can only write my poetrywhen i feel bad, havent wrote one for about 5 months, here it iseveryone:

Untitled

You though and decided you hated,
Then you learnt from what was killing you.
You tried but once more got defeated.
All that shit you keep putting yourself through.
--------
You thought it would help if you listened,
But you heard and nothing came through.
So you went back down to the dark place
And still you insist that you knew.
--------
Now others look at you in anger.
They know that you could if you tried,
They turn their backs on you,
Don't seem to care
So you just keep on hiding inside.
--------
You cried out and hoped someone heard you,
But silence was all that you knew,
So you stepped out into the shining
And over the edge yourself threw.
--------
You liked it and never once panicked.
You're learning from what's killing you.
Never look back, never wonder
If life will be better next time through.

bit of a strange one but it does provoke a lot of emotion in me
