The reason I didn't believe....that's kinda tough. I always had both sides of the coin shown to me because my father was an apostate. But for the most part I always just knew I wasn't going to be a witness, pretty much from the time I was about 9 or so. The rules just didn't make sense to me, when I was a teenager I really started questioning and there was just no answer that would suffice to my questions. I think I just am not a person who puts blind faith into anything, and that's a requirement to being a witness. So I left, then again I never really thought I was in. When I left I'm sure alot of people saw it coming forever, it wasn't too much of a shock.

At work, in my blue cubicle staring at my crow replicas, Statler and Waldorff dolls, Bert doll, Bibleman out in front and center and my personal favorite thing on my desk Rock 'Em Sock 'Em He-Man. Oh I'm on my break, typing this while also trying to regain a smidgin of talent I had toward comic book styled drawing (doing poorly however).

DEICIDE LYRICSOnce Upon The Cross (1995) 1. Once Upon The Cross
2. Christ Denied
3. When Satan Rules His World
4. Kill The Christian
5. Trick Or Betrayed
6. They Are The Children Of The Underworld
7. Behind The Light Thou Shall Rise
8. To Be Dead
9. Confessional Rape
1. Once Upon The Cross
Once upon the cross
Fear him, fear him, fear him... Satan
Nazarene in the valley of persuasion
To receive last temptations from Lord Satan
"Take a bite" said the serpent "eat of it"
Without no choice to do so, you cannot resist
Impaled crucifixion
Compassion forgot
Eternal damnation
Once upon a cross
Blasphemy laughs at thee
Jesus you've been deceived
Struggling on the cross
Gagging to breathe
Despite your god, question why
You were retrieved by the angel of light
Kill him, kill him, kill him... Satan
Nazarene screaming on his crucifixion
Prophecy in its final contradiction
When you die is when the lie will be believed
Upon the cross, before the world to see
Once upon the cross 2. Christ Denied
Congregation congregated in his house of god
Entombed by their almighty savior
Revelations misinterpreted ignite his flame
Removed from the human equation
Retreat to death in burning flesh
His dead disciples and their son of god
Incineration of their prophecy
Destroyed in failure
You're unannounced and you're unobserved
No longer worshipped in his world
Apocalypse on insanity
Self destruction of hypocrisy
Suffering is yours, no tomorrow
Killed with reason, unbelieved in
In conception, you were warned
Resurrection, christ denied
Congregation immolated with his bastard son
Confused by the rules of engagement
Impregnating you defamated your grace with god
Refused are the gates to salvation 3. When Satan Rules His World
Open the door Jehovah you whore
I am the servant of who rules this world
Archnemesis of your light
One look at me and you know he is I
Run away when confronted with Satan
Always here and forever will be
Your concern for my Lord is becoming
Defecate on your book of belief
Door to door soliciting war
Feeble man with salvation as sword
Disturb and see you will die
For I am of Him in his world you're confined
Why try? World dies, christ hides
When Satan rules his world
Disease, run free, killing
When Satan rules his world
Religion, infliction, obscene
When Satan rules his world
Witness, dismissed, executed
When Satan rules his world 4. Kill The Christian
You are the one we despise
Day in day out your words compromise lives
I will love watching you die
Soon it will be and by your own demise
Buried in hypocrisy
Lacerate your faith in god
Morally diseased
On the cross of Calvary your body bashed, defeated, stabbed
Blessing as you hate
Loyal to your enemies
Monetary faith
As him you'll pay for the lies of your prophecy
Satan wants you dead
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian
Armies of darkness unite
Destroy their temples and churches with fire
Where in his world will you hide
Sentenced to death, the anointment of christ
In due time your path leads to me
Put you out of your misery
The death of prediction
Kill the christian
Kill the christian...dead! 5. Trick Or Betrayed
They will say that he loves you, he don't
From their bible they're controlled
His descent they expect in our life
They'll be waiting till they die
Disembark from their path of belief
If in turn will set you free
Cannot live with the fact that they're wrong
That there is no truth in god
Trick or betrayed
Their faith ends in pain
Rip up their bible before is(its?) too late
Time we undo unity
For it is for fools
In this world we don't need
Trick or betrayed
I think you should know
They know it's true
That their book is a hoax
Join us to see through the light
Christ is a scheme and will ruin your life
Trick or betrayed
Why insist on the cross died for us
His infliction never was
They assume that his death brought them life
To be dead will change their minds
When you see what you feel is not real
Disappointment is revealed
Cannot live with the fact that they;re wrong
There is no such thing as god 6. They Are The Children Of The Underworld
In the creation of Anu were spawned
Born of the Earth before they're known
Evade destruction in their world below
Their hands reach for our place outside
Bestow their suffering on human life
Nothing will stop them from re-entering
Return to hatred in the heart of man
They are the children of the underworld
Before the heavens they were on the Earth
To desolation and were never heard
"Cry rebirth"
Lords of the plague, seven are they
Born in the mountain of Mashu's magic
Spirits of hate, they have no name
Withered and wicked, the liars in wait
In the creation of Anu were spawned
With deadly vengeance from the ancient gods
Their place on Earth, their race unknown
Beyond the knowledge of the elder ones
Provoking with our blood to rise
The seven offspring for the sacrifice
Reclaim the power of the crown of death
Enter the body from the temple dead 7. Behind The Light Thou Shall Rise
Disemboweled on the altar jesus christ
Entrails in the pentagram circle
Spill his blood and reversing catholic humn
Invocate the onslaught of Satan
Master Lord lucifer
From behind the light thou shall rise
Drink ourselves as you feed
His offering of purity
Bible bleed, hell on Earth has been achieved
Thou will fail before Lord Satan
Casting sin, pissing on their crucifix
Stepping forth into his creation
Master Lord lucifer
From behind the light thou shall rise
Walk His Earth, invade in pain
His christians become the enslaved
What was once is never more
Infernal Lord Father restored
Blinding priest in disbelief
Revenge onto god he has sworn 8. To Be Dead
Destroy the corpse and release my mind
The secrets contemplate the other side
It won't be long until the death of me
A spirit conscious of reality
To be dead is to always be
Close my eyes and return to sand
To be dead is to always dream
Coherent thought but unseen by man
Invisible to human sight
The consequences in his afterlife
Across the line from the ignorant
Inside my mind I do not know sin
To be dead is to always be
Open-eyed in a sleeping mind
To be dead is to always dream
I'm prepared for my turn to die
Inflicting sorrow on the enemy
And to everyone who doubted me
My constant presence will torment the soul
As I stand watching in the other world
To be dead is to always be
Untied from the living flesh
To be dead is to always dream
Unforgiven when I meet with death 9. Confessional Rape
Father integrity, perverted secrecy
Molesting innocent children you're trusted with
What is vowed you cannot live, unbound by celibence
Indulge in sacrilege, to serve unto Satan
Manipulate through threats of god's hate
Abhorrently extorted
Molest the faith, confessional rape
Denial is aborted
Exploit the flesh of christian descent
Incesting consent
Alter your life from behind the light
Master Lord Satan decides
Father hypocrisy, exerting fantasy
Persuading innocent children to where you live
What is vowed does not exist, you are in debt to sin
Apologize and plead, begging god for mercy GLEN BENTON - BASS, VOCALS

I was a one word answer kind of guy. My mom used to yell at me if I didn't comment at least once at every meeting. So I did, my favorite was "What is God's name?" Cake walk baby!

KM - Local Needs
by TheListener ini thought it would be interesting for those of us who still attend the meetings to let everyone know what our local needs part was/will be this week.
(the km allots 15 minutes to local needs at this weeks service meeting).
ours will be on meeting attendance.

I remember one local needs part that split our congregation in two. It was basically saying that PG-13 movies were just as bad as R rated movies and we shouldn't see them. Half the congregation went along, and half didn't. I even remember some leaving the congregation over this (must've been movie buffs). Another local needs talk was about listening to the F&D no matter if you agree or not, the example was a guy who had long hair and after an elder asked him to cut it the next day it was cut. Then everyone in the hall looked over at me, luckily I was too busy remembering a PG-13 movie I had recently watched.

Fighting experience?
by bebu inthe other night our son confessed that he had been in an after-school fight last friday.
some small kid was irritated with my son (who's nearly 14) and called on the services of a big friend to beat up my son.
(i actually saw the fight (sort of) as i drove past the school that day to go do errands, and pondered on whether i should stop... i didn't... because i actually wasn't sure it was a fight; it was a lot of kids in a loose crowd).

Well, I had an expirience about two years ago where two much bigger guys (one about 6'5 the other 6'6 and the smaller of the two was 280 lbs.) nearly killed me in a fight. Since then I took a bunch of MMA seminars and read alot about the subject including a subscription to grappling magazine. So I basically taught myself to hook fight, well. What worked for me last time I was provoked into a fighting situation I basically told the guy what I was going to do to him. I said I was going to pop his quad muscle, I know how to do it, so I had the confidence to back it up. He backed down almost immediately. So I would say confidence and not backing down is the way to avoid a fight, if the other person thinks you're going to win the fight, and mess them up most times people back down.
