  I just received my annual Un-Christmas gift from my mom. It contained 2 dishtowels, an Awake!, a Watchtower, 2004 Daily Text, the book "Worship the Only True God", and a letter.

  The letter was the kicker, in it she directed me to an article she "really appreciated" in the Awake! on the bibles view point on "Alternative Life- Styles". The article contained the typical crap and equated homosexuality with incest and bestiality. Now, what I'm wondering is why my mother pointed out this particular article- is it because I live in predominately gay community and don't seem to have a problem with it? or is it that she thinks, because I am still single at 27, I am in fact gay and need to "Pummel my body and lead it as a slave" to resist other women??

  Any thoughts?

  got my forty homey?

  I can understand the publications, but 2 dish towels? How dare she?!! Everyone knows you give a complete set of kitchen clothes, wash towels, apron, and matching refrigerator magnets!

  I would just like to say that I can vouch for the fact that my sister is very much attracted to men, in case any of you were wondering if our mother had a legitimate reason to question her orientation!

  "Any thoughts?"

  There is a least two seasons worth of sit-coms to be spawned from this scenario.

  If your mother is like my mother, even if she suspected it, she would NEVER actually say or do anything to let you know what she was thinking. It would be more along the lines of 1 Corinthians 15:33, (everyone say it with me now....) "Bad associations spoil useful habits."

  My mother would be thinking, "Those evil homosectionals (I swear that's how she says the word.) are preventing my baby from worshiping Jehovah. If I give him these dish towels and the magazines, maybe he'll come to his senses. Then those bitties at the Kingdom Hall will stop gossiping about me and my family in the cargroup."

  Either way, enjoy the dish towels!

  Maybe you should soil the towels and send them back to her for cleaning.

  Six - I think my husband might object to being called my gay husband, unless you referring to the previosly held meaning of the word. And he should be happy! After all, he is married to me!

  He'll get over it when the residuals start rolling in... and people start complimenting him on his sweaters. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, baby!

  My mom doesn't approve of my daughter playing basketball for her junior high school team, because of the lesbians.

  Man, if I knew that girl's locker rooms were hotbeds of licentiousness, I would have done more peeking when I was a teen.
