Music Upon Your Exit

RAYZORBLADE

I know this topic has been touched upon from time to time. I haven't been on here regularly in many years, but I know what it is like for many; or those that are on their way of exiting the organization.

What songs do you recall or remember during your exodus from the WTBTS ??

I left mentally in the late autumn of 1983; apparently (I don't know officially...but does it really matter?) I was disfellowshipped in the spring of 1984.

Alan Parson's Project: Don't Answer Me. That was the song heavily on my heart back at that time.

What was yours? Thank you.

As I was not a born in I had to get rid of favourite music to qualify for baptism so I immediately downloaded my favourite music from my pre-witness days.

First was Demons and Wizards by Uriah Heep and boy did the words of Easy Livin resonate now.

This is a thing I've
never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've
Never seen before
Now I've been forgiven

Easy livin’ and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that winding road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin’ and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

I really didn't have any Raymundo. Well maybe I did but it was more or less misdirected. I was an angry atheist and was angry at god and all persons who believed in anything (which I am truly emberassed and sorry about now). So having said that, here is what kind of drove me.

It's my life. It's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever. I just wanna live while I'm alive!

Gopher beat me to it. I think I busted an eardrum blasting that one!

"You better stand tall
When they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break
Baby, don't back down

It's my life
It's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive"

this summer here in Idaho they played this song a bunch , and the line

" and I can't be anyone but me, and i cant keep dreaming that I'm free"

gave me chills as I would think of my leaving the WT .. was because they couldn't let me be me
