Be careful, when you finally get your car back from you mom's mechanic, check your glove compartment, there will be at a minimum of 34 WT and AW's from this year!
Seriously, I am glad you and mom is talking.

well my mother and i have been talking more.
she even calls me instead of the other way around.. yesterday we talked about my finances and school.
my loans and awards looked like they were not going to cover my tuition.

well, i know i dont post often, but still am very active reading all your posts for the last several months.
i had an incident happen yesterday that i just want to share, it scares me to death thinking about it.
i took my two year, my six year old, and a nine year old neighbor boy that my son had been playing with, to the park right down the street to play.
Netty,
Those idiots! I am so sorry to hear what you and your kids have gone through. I am hoping this incident does not leave a scar on your poor baby's mind. Praying for his healing.
As far as the story about the gang member, that sounded too freaky, I am surprised he did not break out into a West Side Story dance.
Welcome from out of lurkyville and keep posting :-)

ran into a jw yesterday who didn't mind talking to me.
she is 50+ and wears her hair long, about to the middle of her back.
she said she's been told by the brothers to cut her hair, that women her age should have short hair styles.
Elsewhere,
However, I have seen plenty of JW women with beards
Yuck! LOL
i gave my intro and then disappeared for a month.

for those that no longer go to the kh --i was curious as to what you have done with your field service bookbag?.
for a long time i could not look at it without feeling guilty, then a couple of times i looked at with contempt.... after awhile it mysteriously ended up in the dumpster including... the books, tracts, wt's, awakes, and return visits slips that was in it.. where is your bookbag right now?.

i have visited several churches with family and friends and this is something that i cannot get used to.
i do not know if this is basically done in black churches or not ( i am aa) but it makes me a little uncomfortable.
i will say that i have had feelings in these churches that i have never felt in the kh.
Sunspot,
I know---any time natural, human feelings were shown---it was frowned on. I think we ALL enjoy hearing (or singing in) a good choir or chorus! It makes ya FEEL good! As for the "melodies".....they were a piece of work, huh? There were a few I liked, the rest ranged betweeen so-so to hideous! Remember that horrible slow one that sounded like it was from an ancient funeral procession? UGH!
That is hilarious and so true!
. One song called "Testify"
Who is the artist?
When I was a kid, I heard a song on TV by Mahalia Jackson that I loved.
She is awesome, and she can't make you feel it, then you have no feelings at all! :-)

Sweetone,
I love that I can now raise my arms to God and really get involved in it. That feeling you felt is the Spirit. If you've never been able to experience the annointing like that, then man.....you are missing something great. To actually feel the prescence of God in the chair with you, in the isles and in the room. To hear His voice echoing through the sanctuary. It's an experience like no other.
That brought tears to my eyes

Flash,
modesty is at any given time it is an emotionaly based standard not an intellectual one. People feel good or bad about something so therefore it must be good or bad...NOT!!!
Amen!
