Hello angels.. i know that this is a reply to only one question, not a ton of us.. but i was rereading before i sent and i figured... this kinda ties in with the young eda issue, the fighting... mostly the second paragraph... please take the time to read actually.. im not that up on my Mormon info.. but i have some. I think that daddy was excommunicated after the divorce and seeing is how the father is the head of the family in the religion i think that once the father is excommunicated the whole family is. I think.. im not completely sure of this. I think that it is different if the man dies, and the woman remarries a Mormon.. but im not completely sure. But truly a religion is nothing more than a label. everyone one on earth is all one religion.. the one of the human spirit.. I may study polytheism, and follow a path of spirits and ghosts, but so does everyone... allah, god, messiah, athena, thor, shiva, the slurpee guy, buddha, the one, myself. It is all one.

Therefore, when I come home to MA I will have tons of digests to read. However, I do not want to come home to fighting. I'm not trying to be a stubborn only-thinking-about-myself bi***, and I'm not requesting this just because I'm leaving and won't have a computer, but some EDA's are able to read all of the digests and have access to computers everyday. I'm sure they don't want to hear it either. O.K.-well, EDA's are EDA's. That's the way it is. Your don't become an EDA based on ANYTHING. I can't see you and you can't see me, but I KNOW that your an EDA. I have opinions and they are still opinions whether or not I'm 11 or 63. Alright, let's start writing *good* things and like someone said, if you don't like a post and you disagree with it, DELETE IT. It's as simple as that. Oh, and the idea about everyone writing how they found Jewel for the list is a wonderful idea! I love it. Alright-enough said. I'm leaving. Done. Of to the Windy City. :) Au Revoir!

Last year they only broadcasted 3 songs, and now they have broadcasted another 4 songs additional. So i can make a videotape with the following songs : Hands You Were meant for me Foolish Games Life Uncommon Down so long Down Love me just leave me alone. So who wants to get his hands on it, just let me know and we will try to work something out . Till then bye for now folks !!! Jewel quote from Stephenville * a wonderful new song * according to this dutch Jewelfan * grins* But hey, I've got nothing to lose I'm a singer for crowds, I'm a writer of songs Hey Mom, look, I'm an entertainer I'm a modern day troubadour trying to find justice with six strings Michiel http://www.jewelkilcher.myweb.nl Jewel Impala - the dutch tribute site for Jewel -) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 10:34:15 -0700 (PDT) From: kevin maguire Subject: * WWJD..What Would JEWEL Do... WWJD that is "What Would Jesus Do" and Christians wear bracelets and stuff with that on it to remind them, to think of Jesus and try to do the Right thing like he did..... So now i say "What Would JEWEL Do" and the reason why, is look at all these negitive posts, and all the fighting, and all the B.S. that is going on. If Jewel were to ever read some of these wouldnt WE be embarrassed??? What would she do? Drop the EDA's? tell us off? try to encourage us? put her head in her pretty hands and just cry in disbelife? We all have different opinions and all that, that is GREAT!, but we need to build eachother UP, not Tear down, not HATE mail for an EDA. Just RESPECT eachothers RIGHT to state and have our own opinion.... A quote i like (i think its from a Revolutionary War or something) and it goes "We either Hang together...or surly we will HANG alone" and the Hang alone was being Killed, b/c there is more strenght in Unity.... So lets come together, Lets Share Angel food, lets be positive, and live up to our Names.... ANGELS....... Peace!!! out!

I'm back again, just keep jumping in the convo every so often. I had the coolest idea! Why don't we share something with each other, I love how the angels are sharing their stories, they're so great! So anyways, whatever happened to the yearbook??? I haven't heard much about it, but I think we should revive it if it's not already, or if not make a page where everyone says who they are, what they're dreams and inspirations are, what EDA's and Jewel Mean to them, the average thing we did for the yearbook. Maybe we could even include what other people were doing with their sites and include with each profile any poetry, acts of charity, arts, or anything that they have done due to Jewel, whether it be her ideals, words, etc.... Anyways, I know that my friend was the one who told me to join the list, so I had no clue who they were but I joined, and I just felt so much like a part of a huge group of friends, like a team. Anywho, I love how everyone gathers at all these events, but unfortunately I don't have access to anything due to parents who don't trust the internet yet, so I figure we could pool ideas almost for an EDA project. Like someone said, whether it was meant to be sarcastic or what, everyone needs an angel, and we should take care of everyone, especially our friends. And I think we should express our friendship, almost like a pact, that no matter what fights break out, we'll always be friends and can always turn to each other. Ok, now im just getting sobby, so I'll let you figure something out, just thought we should go back to the list that I joined 2 years, though I'm definately not a veteran, the list has potential and we should put it to the test :) Cya later in the digest :) Sheila ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 19:54:45 GMT From: "Princess Jewel" Subject: * EDA Arguing Hey fellow EDA's I know that we are all just stating opinions.But I feel that the arguing for lack of a better word has been getting out of hand.It seems that every topic that comes up between us all ends up in someone arguing.I am not pointing fingers because we all have had a negative word here or there.But that is understandable.I think that the whole comment about "young-uns" got out of hand.You can not tell someone they are causing problems because they are a young adult.I am personally 15 and have had people tell me I act like I am a 22 year old.Which to me is a compliment.I know that they were just stating their opinion and that is a right we all have,but I feel when the opinion is directed negatively towards a certian group it has some wrong to it.I just wish my fellow EDA's as well as I can move on past our differences and bring it all back to what we love...Jewel.I agree with what another Angel had said...If Jewel knew what was going on do we think she would be happy?The EDA's are more then a group yes it is a philosophy we all choose to live by.I personally am quite happy to be called an EDA.And through all of the debating we have took on I still love each and every one of you.I respect the good you all try to bring to this list and to the world.Since I joined this group I have met some of the most giving and generous people.Willing to help out there fellow man.Not much left of that in the society we live in today.I have witnessed the good left in the world.And I just hope we can resolve the petty arguments to move on to better things.And bring back the love and support this list has been known for.If you feel the need to send me "hate mail" or something please direct it just to me.I want to try and take it away from the list as much as I can.Well just my two cents!Thanks.

I do have a question though that involves one of Jewel's lyrics...no, actually...two. In the song, Jessica, there are the lyrics: 'One moment here then gone/ With no forwarding address/ Love no longer has a house/ Residence in flesh/ Religion without a temple/ No place to take your worship to/ No God for the eyes to see/ No fruit to lay at the feet of Jessica.' Then in the lyrics of Emily, she has the same lyrics at the very end...aside from saying 'No fruit to lay at the feet of Jessica,' she says, 'Emily'....I wonder if she accidentally mixed up the lyrics one night when she sang it or do you think she purposely did it? I know Jessica was written for a really good friend who had his friend pass away...or something along there. What about Emily? Does anyone know why she wrote that one? And which one came first? Those questions just make me wonder.... - -Michelle- 'An angels face is tricky to wear constantly....' -Tori Amos- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 16:30:22 EDT From: Poet2811@aol.com Subject: * My Jewel Story Hey guys- I wrote the fallowing to spread the "happy vibe" through out the list...Ok...here's my story.. My father and I have never REALLY gotten along too well. We fight our fair share with each other. Close is not something I would use to describe the realationship with him. Distant is a better word. Anyway. One night he was sitting in the parlor (what we call our living room) watching TV. I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and he screamed for me to come into the parlor. I screamed back "why" and he told me to just come, so I sighed and walked into the room. He had his eyes fixed on the screen and said "Who's that?" I had never seen this girl before and was impressed. I shruged my shoulders. (This was back when WWSYS was first out). "She's amazing," So I sat down on the couch and watched her vidoe and thought, hey cool, ya know...She was honest, which I liked, deep, which I felt was lacking of other musicans. So, we watched it to the end and saw that her name was Jewel and the name of the album was POY. I went back to doing the dishes and things. My father came in 10 minutes later and said "Lets go, we're gonna go buy that CD," So my father and I got into the truck went out to the store, picked up the CD and came home. We listened to that CD and my father pulled out his guitar and learned WWSYS...That is one of those nights that you remember forever, ya know? He bought me tickets to her show when she was touring and we went together. It was all pretty cool...It is known that in my family if my father actually likes a muscian, that means they are pretty darned good, because my father knows good music when he hears it... Hmm...so I hope that spread the vibe and left everyone feeling all warm and fuzzy inside... greetz...

So i stopped to see what it was and it was jewel singing some christmas tunes on PBS (Sessions). so i watched for like 15 minutes, and when it was over i was so sad. She was beautiful! i rushed right out the next day, and bought the christmas cd, and her first on pieces of you, and that newer one about spirits" I just laughed and told her i was glad she had found that Jewel was a great musician and told her to enjoy them. so i was out garage saleing last weekend, and found a double deck tape player system with huge speakers.. and for only 4 dollars i couldnt refuse. So i am going to set it up tonight, and see if it works. Then i can start making some angelfood!!!!! So if your hungry... stay tuned! have an excellent day angels!

Hello, I have recently joined the EDA and already it seems like everyone is Angels I already know. We are going to have disagreements on alot of things, but it's only human.

Hey, The first time I heard of this was in Shelia's recent post ... and I think it's a great idea, whoever was planning it before should try and do it, or if they are unable to ... somebody else could step up and do it! I think it would be great to get to know the EDAs better in this way, and we could have a whole website showcasing how wonderful all of us are! We could all submit a picture and answer set questions or something so it's easier, that'd be so cool! We should really do something like that! *Juliet* the angel who wants a new name, but what's in a name? :) P.S. YES this is a desperate attempt to switch all the fighting over to something constructive!

(I'm not trying to bash you Sandy.) There is a huge difference between fighting and actually discussing our opinions without sending hate mail and distasteful comments when posting. I'm sure we can all discuss and write rude comments without fighting. I'm not saying that I or anyone else has gotten angry about someone's words. Not having a list where we can post our thoughts is not the only way to stop this. As a matter of fact it isn't a way, because I am sure we can all stop arguing and write pleasant things. Defending your honor or Jewel's honor does not mean we have to fight. My advice: if you want to say something that will fuel the fire, say it to your cat. None of us have time to be fighting I'm sure and to minimize the fighting say what you have to say in a reasonable manner.
