Knowledge by Proxy
by braincleaned in

2. beliefs
whatever our convictions are, we all have one thing in common; we have learned them from other sources.. we have knowledge by proxy... we didn't find things out all by ourselves.

we let trusted sources talk for us.. belief is not something that you choose.

but if there is no elephant, i do not "choose" to believe it isn't there either.

Planting Seeds--Plants Do Not Grow Overnight
by blondie in

i see some post here that want family and friends to see ttatt immediately.. i'm a gardener, a serious one.

we make sure we put in an area that gets sun, check the soil each year, put in compost and other amendments, make sure we plant seeds compatible with the ones next to them, plant far enough apart, proper amount of water.

everything can be perfect but when i go out the day after planting...nothing has broken through yet.

Trying to overcome my homophobia.
by Julia Orwell in
1. jw

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.
