Dustin: The JW ways are just plain stupid! Why not have some fun in life? Good call. :( you're going against posting guidelines. Heartless. :( What I find funny is that people believe you can only have a good time by getting drunk out of their skulls. Oh no, we miss christmas...and easter? :'( it's not alot really, a few days of the year that are seen as the only times of happyness, and us poor JW's can't have a good time. There's more to being happy than having parties, and getting drunk. It's kind of a narrow minded viewpoint with not much thought. Yes, the bible does say about drinking wine, but not to the extent that we're drunk and out of control of our actions.
Illegal Imigrant...........I have a JW Aunt that likes the wine a whooooooooooooooooooole lot. I use her as my example of what not to be. I guess she should quit preachin the bible & start readin it. Huh?
Stupid = Heartless ??????
Please step away from the soap box.
YES!!! I agree totally and I came to the same conclusion years ago! They are in bondage. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the blessings of this life, which is so short. Especially in light of all the things that are happening in the world today.
The absolute opposite is the way it is for me now, life is incredibly short and I don't want to waste another second on what is not important, in the same breath I refuse any longer to overwhelm myself with all the whys and wherefores of life as I have faith that the creator will make things clear.
Verse 1
He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
Man what did ya do?
He said
Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
Verse 2
He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin, wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then
Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
Bridge
Like tomorrow was the end
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it
Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And man I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin' (4x)
Life is too short to remain in suspended animation!!!
Gotta' getcha' outta' 'da box!!!
To all who helped me get thru, Thankyou!!!
Life is too short to remain in suspended animation!!!
I like that.
And I think life is too short to remain under the influence of alcohol day after day, or waste time being drunk. Don't know where those comments came from Illegal Immigrant, but that isn't what we are talking about.
