Old Kingdom Melodies
by muslima ineven after a bit of time has gone by - do lyrics to "kingdom melodies" still drift in anyone's head?.
it is over 6 years now -- yesterday and even still now - for whatever reason the song with the lyrics "the way of the truth is the best way of living" -- just that line kept going through my head!
it's driving me crazy!.

I have to admit singing the songs each meeting was my favorite, ever since I was a kid. Especially when I was in high school when I realized I could sing and sing damn good.
Joelbear, "Kiss the son, lest god be angry" was one of my favorites! I loved the tune...
Every now and then I'll be waiting on hold on the phone and SWEAR the music I'm hearing is a Melodie. Drives me nuts, 'cause I know it isn't. My close friend who attended meetings a couple years with me during high school...we'll be walking in a store and then pause, look at each other and go "no way" and know EXACTLY what we're thinking. One of those songs....never! Scary stuff.

ianao,
Depo is a shot that is taken every three months as a form of birth control. It is also one of the few that can be taken while breastfeeding, which is why I plan on using it. The small birth control pills you can do with breastfeeding doesn't exactly provide the protection rate I'm looking for.

Thanks for your comment, Andi. We're going to give it a try, even with the warnings I've been given about the lowered libido. I took my bc pills regularly every single day and yet I got pregnant. Right now, physically and financially I'm unable to handle another child so I'm willing take the side effects. I'm only a little concerned about losing the sex drive because I rarely am affected in that way with medication. I was on Lithium for a year and they said it would decrease...I wanted sex MORE. On my imiprimine, same thing, as well as with my birth control. Who knows, though.
I'll keep my head up, though. I don't expect to be back in the swing of things as before but hopefully in time it'll be fine.

I am so ready for this little girl inside me to either change position or just come on out. I start my 34th week tomorrow (first pregnancy) and up until this last week, sex was not a problem. In fact, more intense, and instigated by myself more often than the dad. We came to an agreement that if I was aching too much we wouldn't even attempt it, and to hold off until it would be more fun.
My closest friend said her desire for sex went downhill when she was pregnant and she just didn't want it. I couldn't fathom that, and really, I can't now. Because even if I'm hurting, I'm still horny and still want it...just have to put if off for a few hours or a day. Can't help it, lol, I love sex.
And lemme tell you, I'll be getting that Depo shot in my butt before I leave the hospital with the new one. Apparently those pills weren't working before and I'm taking no chances this time.

JW couple beats daughter to death
by saltiest ini just read this article in the chicago sun times.
when i started reading the parents were religious and then saw home-schooling, i had a gut feeling they were jw's.
i read on and found out i was right.

Just to clear up something, I don't believe all JW's are like this couple in the article. I also realize that someone like them is definitely not right in the head and exist in other religions or ways of life.
I myself wasn't abused as many have mentioned, though I did get the nasty spankings until I was ten or so, but then again, I was a natural trouble maker.
The reason I posted this was because I felt it appropriate seeing as how they were called Jehovah's Witnesses and a scriptural reason was thier excuse. This may be more personal to me as I knew fellow young witnesses growing up who were physically abused by their JW parents. I also dated someone in high school who was repeatedly abused by his step-father, someone in high standing in their hall. Of course, no matter who we told nothing was done.
Personally, I think this couple should rot in prison, especially since I know they'll receive quite a punishment of their own from their inmates due to their crime against a child. I sincerely hope the congregation they're associated with uses all the shunning capabilities we all know and disfellowship them in a heartbeat. And if they were to use the couple as a very clear example of how NOT to disipline your children, even better.
My thoughts are with their other children who have possibly gone through similar experiences and are also suffering the loss of their REAL sister. I can only hope they are able to live with a loving family and receive the support they need to grow into loving human beings.
btw, I enjoy reading everyone's thoughts and eventually I'll post my JW history and why I'm no longer associated with them.

I read on and found out I was right. This is only my second post here, but I had to share this article. Shocked doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about this. How sad that a child had to die because the parents felt the need to follow a scripture no matter what. I hope their other children are able to receive the help they need.

Biblical beating kills girl: copsNovember 13, 2001
BY MAUREEN O'DONNELL, ANA MENDIETA AND ANNIE SWEENEY STAFF REPORTERS
The parents accused of beating their 12-year-old daughter to death have told police they were meting out the biblical punishment of "40 lashes minus one, three times," detectives said Monday.
Constance Slack, a registered nurse at a children's hospital, gagged her daughter, Laree, while she was strapped down to a futon, police said. Her father, Larry Slack, then repeatedly hit the child with an inch-thick section of rubberized electrical cable filled with strands of wire, police said. She died of internal bleeding.
"It was horrific,'' one seasoned police officer said.
The parents were upset that Laree was being "uncooperative" after they ordered their chilldren to find a smock with credit cards inside Saturday night, police said. Larry Slack is a firm believer in corporal punishment, and he and his wife decided to administer discipline from the Bible, investigators said.
"It was his attempt to teach his daughter about responsibility,'' Area 2 Sgt. Stan Salabura said.
Both parents are devout Jehovah's Witnesses who home-schooled their six children, ages 8 to 17, police and neighbors said.
"He was a strict person. Whenever he came out, the kids would straighten right up and pay attention to him,'' said a neighbor who didn't want to be identified.
But friends were shocked by the allegations. "He was a very peaceful guy and a very smart person. And he was very religious," said the Rev. Wayne Lewis Jr., who attended Bible studies in the home. "The first time we met he was trying to convert me, but I am a Baptist minister.'"
The Slack home on South Brandon stood empty Monday, calm, with no traces of the tragedy. The family's two cars were parked outside in the 7900 block. Along the stairway to the second floor were a training manual for Jehovah's Witnesses, stapled sheets with math problems, a grill, a basketball hoop and a Domestic Violence Safety Plan issued by the Cook County state attorney's office.
The Slacks were a quiet family who stayed away from their neighbors, hidden behind a 6-foot-high wooden fence that Larry Slack built to replace a chain-link one.
Larry Slack, 42, is a 23-year employee of the CTA who was known as a "good machinist and a hard worker,'' Salabura said. Constance Slack, also 42, is believed to work at La Rabida Children's Hospital, he said.
Both parents have been charged with first-degree murder and also aggravated battery of a child for the alleged beating of their 8-year-old son, also on Saturday night.
The Slack's five other children all showed indications of physical abuse. They were taken into state custody and placed with relatives, authorities said. Larry Slack was treated at Advocate Christ Hospital and Medical Center Sunday night after allegedly attempting to kill himself while turning himself in to police at Area 2 detective headquarters. He was in the Central District lock-up Monday.
In a statement Monday, the Slack family said it was cooperating with police.
"We loved Laree dearly,'' said Leroy Slack, who identified himself as Larry Slack's uncle and a family spokesman. "We're very disturbed over the circumstances surrounding her death."

I'm not sure of the date, though sometime between November 1998 and April 1999. A young girl, Jessica, of the Lake Forest Park Congregation in Washington State(Lynnwood, Brier, Mountlake Terrace, not sure what city she lived in), committed suicide. I believe she was 16, though can't gaurantee the age. Although I hadn't attended meetings in years, I went to her funeral as she was one of the few people who befriended me while others ignored.
The best of luck with your research.
