All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

mother called!!

by boy@crossroads in

my mother knows i haven't been going to the meetings lately.

we haven't officially had a 'heart to heart' yet.

well she calls up today (sunday after about lunchtime) and immediately begins asking 'where were you yesterday, i tried to call you 5 times?

liquidsky

She probably called you a hundred times yesterday because she wanted to to invite you to the special talk. My parents rarely call me. Yesterday they called three times. I didn't answer the phone because I knew the only reason they were calling me was to invite me to the kingdom hall.

HOW ABOUT MENTIONING JESUS AT THE MEMORIAL!

by Mary in

jw
friends

well i went last night...........did anyone else notice how the talk focused almost exclusively on the 144,000???

jesus was barely mentioned.

the first couple of minutes talked about when the israelites left egypt and the passover was instituted.

"Did anyone else notice how the talk focused almost exclusively on the 144,000??? "

I sure noticed. What a boring talk. They spent a total of 3 minutes talking about what the eblems meant and why they observe the memorial. The rest of the talk was about the 144,000 and who should or shouldn't partake. At the end of the talk they announced that there would be elders waiting at the exit doors and all those who want a bible study were to line up and give thier names and phone numbers to the elders. I thought that was a little inappropriate for the occasion.

If you want to get away from the crowded touristy places, visit the Bok Sanctuary. It's cheap, and well worth your time. http://www.boktower.org/visiting/singing.html

What's The Most Traumatic Thing That's Ever Happened To You As A Witness?

by minimus in

jw
friends

when you look back at your witness life, you probably can see that you were regularly exposed to traumatic conditions and situations because you were a jw.

thinking back, was there anything that stood out in your mind that especially wounded you?

liquidsky

After being raped when I was 17 yrs old, I had to explain what happened in detail to the elders so they could decide for themselves whether I was raped or committed fornication.

Splenda, the low cal sugar substitute

by Sirius Dogma in

my roommate brought home this new ice cream last night, dreyers no sugar added, fat free chocolate fudge sweetened with splenda.

i was intrigued.

chocolate ice cream with no fat and low cal, how good could this taste?

liquidsky

I cannot stomach the stuff. I bought some hot cocoa a couple of months ago that had spleda in it. After drinking a cup I got soooooo sick.

I lived in th bathroom for a couple of days. .

I really don't think its has anything to do with being lactose intolerant. I have the same problem with anything sugarfree (gum, candy, coughdrops, etc.) But splenda was by far the worst experience.
