Me and the wife both. For our you know, pre-marital bumping of the fuzzies.
All of those years of guilt she had- she's shocked that all she got was a slap on the wrist. I told her hey, if it's not enough for you go back and tell them you don't feel like you're being punished enough. She declined that.
So now I am forbidden to speak from the platform, comment, or lead anyone in prayer. Is it Christmas already?
They want to "help" us get started with a family study. I think I'll suggest studying some history out of the Proclaimers book, to uh, build our faith in the organization. ("What's this page on Beth-Sarim? I've always wondered about that.")
Now the wife's monkey is off my back and I can still talk to family and friends.
How come holy spirit didn't detect that in the past I have smoked (both regular and lefthanded), gambled, celebrated holidays, and apostasized? Perhaps I am still holding back its flow from the elders in the congregation.
