A good friend of mine growing up was DF'd when we were about 16 (for dating a worldly guy). I tried to see her, but she didn't want to talk to me. So when she finally started back to the KH to be reinstated. I went right up to her and said, 'I just wanted to say hi and that I've missed you.'

Later she told me that she got in trouble with the elders because I spoke to her! Tough! Even my mother told me not to talk to her. I said, I don't care, I want to say hi to my friend.

Grrrr Why I hate baking

by Lehaa in

i hate to bake, can never get it right.. i can cook briliantly, ask me to cook a gouret meal for 100 people and i can do it, no problems, no sweat.. but get me to bake a cake, can't do it, flop every time.. foe example, just put 12 muffins in the oven.

(my partner, andy, was gonna do them but he hurt his back today and has been laid up on the couch all day, major pain killers.

so i thought i'd do them).

chrissee

did you use the muffin tins with the papers? or just the muffin papers??

I was just thinking about that. I rarely gave anything, a couple dollars for the kids to put in. But no set amounts. I didn't put alot in because I didn't work and my 'non-JW' husband was the only one with an income. And I didn't think it was fair to put his hard-earned money into the KH funds, when we were struggling to pay our own rent.

I know it is. And of course my family and I just bought our first Christmas tree yesterday!! Although I could call him on his regular phone, but that's long distance!! I don't want to have to pay twice!! ha ha.

This will be the first that I've talked to him since August, for my brothers wedding. Any suggestions for heading him off at the pass? I won't go to the KH again, that I am sure of. He's not as good at the guilt-tripping thing as my mother.
