My Own Prison by Creed

Listening to Country right, got some gigs to play... Heh.. but actually am diggin it Country is kewl... right!??

The Rascal Flatts song is incredible

Patty loveless "We ain't done nothin' wrong" is on now... great song in an "honest" love kinda way

I like Godsmack myself, Bad Religion is a killer song

"Judith" by A Perfect Circle.........

I like lots of "angry" schtuff like this its got passion, its prolly my fav Genre to "rock out" to.

Tonic is the mood I'm in right now.. here is 2 songs I absolutely love the lyrics to;

I could go on and on about music and lyrics... its my passion... I'm a writer too so when I find a song that hits me

its not always known but, strikes a chord in my heart, mind and soul.

Tonic lyrics - Mean To Me

There's an empty place inside that is hurting me

A place that keeps my heart out on its own

A disconnected function of my wretchedness

That keeps me so hard pressed

It's a place where words are spoken you

will never hear

A broken bridge of lines that just won't come

An empty lung that won't give the wind

to speak at me

How far can it be from home

Why you gotta be so mean to me

Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see

You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need

So why you gotta be so mean to me

Do you think that it got up and left

for good this time

A crowd of faceless strangers moving on

A feeling that you left it all behind you now

That it doesn't hurt somehow

To know

( ( CHORUS ) )

So open up the book that you keep deep inside

Let the pages yellow in the sun

Show them that you're not afraid to let them see

How far you can be From home

Why you gotta be so mean to me

Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see

You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need

So why you gotta be so fucking mean to me

Why you gotta be Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be so mean to me

Tonic - Sugar - Future Says Run lyrics:

Holding lightly
Words that make you aware
Your head's spinning
No one knows you're not there
Blankly staring
Strangers call you a friend
The power you hold
Is a power that mends

You can't go on
No you can't even talk
Your future says run
But you can't even walk

So you harbor
Standing idly by
Indescretions, slowly turn into lies
Your're half empty
They don't know how it feels
The power inside
Is a power that heals

But You can't go on
No you can't even talk
Your future says run
But you can't even walk

OK 3 by Tonic....................

Tonic - Sugar

Come on baby get your shoes on
You look like you need a rescue
Underneath the Southern moonlight
Where only I can find you
We can do it with our eyes closed
We can sit and talk for hours
Underneath the golden flowers
Where my sunshine grows

(chorus)
sugar my love
sugar my burn
sugar may hide
sugar may learn

I could give a thousand reasons
I could give a thousand lives
I know I would always meet you
Underneath a summer sky
So come on tell me love is real
Show me what I need to feel

(chorus)

Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight

I waited so long for a love so true
So I'm giving it all right back to you
I'm giving you my best of silver
I'm giving you my best of gold

sugar may hide
sugar may burn

So come on baby get those shoes on
And we can run away from here
Talk about a life we're starting
We can start it all right here

Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight

Name some must have rock records

by Leander in

jw
friends

i've spent a lot of time on allmusic.com and it amazes me how much nirvana is mentioned when the reviewers rate other albums.

so its a no brainer that nirvana's work should probably have a place in every rock collection, but what are some other albums every rock fan should listen to if not own.

.

umtiger

Temple of the Dog in my opinion is one GREAT CD, back in the day I wore out the tape after which the CD I bought got really scratched up, they were one of my most listened to bands, along with Candlebox during the first few years that I was removed from all of my family and so called friends therapeutic rock relief/release,......................I recommend it.

the best mother and the best wife anybody could ever be blessed with.

she was not only my mother, she was my friend.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss Amanda,
I wish I could take it all away and make it better, or easier or something else, without the pain.
I know its not much but I do so understand the pain.
I am so very sorry you are hurting this way, because I believe you are a beautiful person from the inside out.
You are a good woman and thats the best thing that exists in this shitty werld, If I could take your pain away I would.

JW, JR and the Truth about Shunning, which is it??

Do you shun former members?

Those who simply cease to be involved in the faith are not shunned. In compliance with the Scriptures, however, members can be expelled for serious unchristian conduct, such as stealing, drunkenness, or adultery, if they do not repent and cease such actions.
Disfellowshipping does not sever family ties. Disfellowshipped members may continue to attend religious services, and if they wish, they may receive pastoral visits. They are always welcome to return to the faith.—1 Corinthians 5:11-13.

IN the interview with Barbara Anderson she made the statement:

"Most people don't understand what disfellowship would mean for a Witness. What I would lose is my family. Witnesses are not to associate with anyone who has been disfellowshipped," she said. While she would remain married to Joe, a congregation elder, Anderson said, her relationship with her son, also an elder, her daughter-in-law and her young grandchild would be jeopardized.

Jr Brown the spin clown next said:
The consequences of excommunication are severe for a reason, Brown said. It is hoped that the harsh isolation that disfellowshipped members feel will draw them back to the organization.
Other members of the faith are not allowed to speak to disfellowshipped members. They can't greet them in a store or share a meal with them. Live-in family members can speak to the person but never about spiritual issues.

An article in The Watchtower, September 15, 1981, on page 29 under the
heading "DISFELLOWSHIPPED RELATIVES NOT LIVING AT HOME" has this to say:

The second situation that we need to consider is that involving a disfellowshipped or disassociated relative who is not in the immediate family circle or living at one's home. Such a person is still related by blood or marriage, and so there may be some limited need to care for necessary family matters. Nonetheless, it is not as if he were living in the same home where contact and conversation could not be avoided. We should keep clearly in mind the Bible's inspired direction: "Quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person . . . not even eating with such a man."--1 Corinthians 5:11.

So in accordance with this last statement they are implying that almost all contact except when "necessary family matters" are concerned, shunning is in effect, and by the statement, "it is not as if he were living in the same home where contact and conversation could not be avoided" sublty enforces that one should avoid contact unless living in the same household, and then, limited contact at best.

So, I ask you,.... Is Barbara Anderson's fears of shunning justified???

My thoughts............ Yes Indeed

NO MORE SPIN Junior!
