Ok guys I thought I would update you on my Sunday and how the study went. I had to drive a few of the older sisters to the hall (one has a bum leg the other an injured hip and the other one has a hard time seeing), so I drove them to the hall and stayed for the meeting, here are some of my thoughts, first of the public talk.
I don’t know how I made it thru the 30 minute talk without screaming “Bulls*it” every other five seconds, the talk was about being “no part of the world”, and man it made me want to vomit. First off, children are still discouraged from extra curricular activities, I don’t know how they expect children to grow up and be able to function socially if they raise them to isolate themselves from their peers, don’t they realize that they are raising social retards? How will these kids function if they are homeschooled and never socialize with people who have different opinions? It makes me so sad to see what is being done to these kids, they are woefully unprepared for life in the real world.
Second, women did you realize that you are not to have an opinion and that dressing up in good clothes shows you are seeking prominence? Oh yes they went there, apparently if you have a vagina you should learn how to keep your thoughts to yourself because to express your opinion means that you are trying to upstage your husband. I was speechless.
Third, is it just me or is a guy who has never been married let alone dated the wrong person to give opinions about having sex and what a healthy relationship is?
And here is something that really bothered me; maybe the ladies on the board can tell me if I’m over reacting, there is an elder in this hall whom I’ve known from age 14, he’s always made me uncomfortable for reasons I cant really explain, he’s not mean but sometimes I had a feeling that he was showing me too much attention or maybe saying things that had double meanings, is any of this making sense? Any ways I’m sitting behind him and after the meeting when the last prayer is over he turns around and takes my hand *shudders* then he leans in way close and says “have you missed me? Have you thought about me every day?” and he still would not let go of my hand, am I wrong to think that this was completely inappropriate and creepy? I finally managed to excuse myself when someone walked by with a new baby, but let me tell you that was a very uncomfortable moment.
