Trying to overcome my homophobia.

i had a music album by a gay guy before i was a jw and had no problem listening to it.

it's good music.

some of the lyrics are what you might call 'gay', that is there's some talk about boyfriends, gay bars, and queens and the intolerance the artist encountered as a gay man.

When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

And the saints we see

Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail

And the ones we hail

Are the worst of all

And the blood’s run stale

I want to hide the truth

I want to shelter you

But with the beast inside

There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

When the curtain’s call

Is the last of all

When the lights fade out

All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave

And the masquerade

Will come calling out

At the mess you made

Don’t want to let you down

But I am hell bound

Though this is all for you

Don’t want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

They say it's what you make

I say it's up to fate

It's woven in my soul

I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright

I want to save their light

I can't escape this now

Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Theredeemer – You’ve opened up a can of worms. I love listening to songs with great lyrics , especially if I can relate to it or there’s a special story or meaning behind the lyrics. I'm going to check out the list and albums you mentioned.

I looked up the lyrics 1 st before listening Suburbs by Arcade Fire …and WOW what meaningful lyrics. I can see why this song would hit a nerve. I’m going to have to listen to the rest of the album. I had to add to the playlist.

Thanks for sharing!

bemused - Good one! Generation is such a timeless song!

iCeltic – I like your playlist. Good variety. When you make your playlist do you list the artist and get a variety of their songs or do you list specific songs for each artist?

Seeing Bob Marley on your list reminds me of when I was a little kid. My uncle would always listen to him while playing on his congas in the middle of the living room. Songs like Buffalo Soldier, I Shot the Sheriff, Could You Be Loved and Jammin g come to mind.

Theredeemer – Great songs – all new to me except the Beastie Boys. The version I got in my internet search for Phoenix – Bankrupt came up as banned in my country for copyright, so now I’m determined to find a version I can listen to later when I get a little extra time.

J. Hofer – Thanks for sharing, I’d never heard this one. Great the lyrics, I love them!

So, far here’s our playlist . I grabbed one from each individual list provided.

Drop the bomb!
by apocalypse in

2. experiences
i had a chance to drop a bomb on a 'bro' that i have known many years.

you should'a been there.. (this is the second time in less than 2 months i have dropped this particular bomb on a bro and in this manner).

before i tell the story, which you will enjoy, note that i have remained "in" the org for many years after finding out the ttatt.. 1) for the sake of family (limited time left).

Question: Is this a situation where the article is in the WT library but the words have been changed or is it that the article is quoted in the WT Library but is not clickable/viewable? My computer is down so I can't check my WT Library for myself.

Great approach, I'm going to have to try something like this.

JW Preaching Work Ends in 20th Century ?
by Scorpion in
1. jw
2. friends
page 12 of the january 1,1989 wt original magazine paragraph 8 ends with the statement that the apostle paul's missionary activity laid a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.".

(a subtle prophecy that 'the end' will come by the year 2000 a.d.).

this sentence is changed in the bound volume reprint to read "a work that would be completed in our day.

I am listening to “ROAR” by Katy Perry right now . I listen to it several times a day as a pick me up. This song is so motivating and empowering. It closely represents my current journey gaining control back over my life since finding out TTATT .

I am always thinking about you all here on JWN and was thinking, how cool would it be to create a JWN Playlist?

What are you listening to right now? Or do you have a song that you would add to a JWN Playlist, motivational, fun or otherwise?

“ROAR” lyrics below:

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, your hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake your ground

You held me down, but I got up

Get ready cause I’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus] I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire

Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR

Louder, louder than a lion

Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, your hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake your ground

You held me down, but I got up

Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough I see it all,

I see it now

[Chorus] I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR

Louder, louder than a lion

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar
