  DECLARATION OF TRUTHFULNESS

  by tijkmo in

  .

  i was just at my sis for supper...it came up in conversation that when they (her and hubby) were on the last circuit assembly programme - relating an experience - he had to sign a declaration specifying that the experience was true.. i was completely taken aback by this...the irony etc...they were surprised that i was unaware of this.. funnily enough the reason it came up was that in a different talk an experience had been acted out that is almost certainly untrue..given that it happened to a girl who is seeing a psychiatrist for constant lieing...her father had the assembly part and must surely have also had to sign the declaration... had anyone else had to sign such a declaration or know someone who did.

  I Am Compelled To Post About Ice Cream

  i don't know if this would be considered "advertising" or against any posting guidelines, but i have found something that is so delicious i don't feel it would be right to not to put this out there, it is worthy of a subject of its own on jwd.

  this could become to the good citizens on this board, a sublime life affirming experience, a turning point even.

  godiva white chocolate raspberry ice cream bars.

  2. friends

  so, i was happy and celebrating because of getting good grades in my courses, well i get a call from my mom.

  at first the phone call was just "hi, how are you" then she laid into me saying my "problem" (meaning my divorce) was because i was putting my education first and not jah.

  she goes on to tell me that the "talk today" was about people murmuring as israelites and bad things happened to them.
