I cheated...I actually still have a song book...
But sad to say, I was merely double checking the words as I did recall the words Jesus said...OMG
Thanks a hell of a lot Mary

Sorry?
by RichieRich inover the past few days... someone who i'm no longer associated with has been out on vendetta to discredit me.
it started with a mass mail to my myspace friends, which caused nothing more than a few eyebrows to be raised.
that was the reaction of people who know me in real life.

AngryKangaroo: Ooooh ribbons...sounds pretty!
Yesterday I was going through a book about clay with my daughter and came up with an idea...You can get that clay at the store that you bake in the oven. Can't think of the name of it right now....Anyhow...it comes in fab colors and if I'm not mistaken you could probably locate some simple molds at the same location and make some uber cool santa's and angels and other ornaments and decorations. If I have time this week I might attempt this with Juniper.

Purps....hmmm...well....this last week and a half has been extremely stressful...to the point of us feeling downright ill with sour stomachs...just not good....(hence my visit to Brio to get away for a day)....but now....it's getting better....what is going on with you?
Blueviceroy: ya know......that sounds good. Honestly, it has been so long since I've taken a walk in the parks nearby and just breathed and said thank you to the universe. Thank you for such an awesome thought for the day.

YES! I have a great suggestion:
take ME
Ok, seriously...
#1 Either pack a lunch or bring a LOT of $$$
#2 Depending on your kids, I love the Haunted Mansion, it's awesome, but some kids get scared on it.
#3 Lots of pictures....
other than that, dude just have fun!!

Sademo, you are a beautiful person to do this. I mean really. To do this week after week, takes dedication. Alleymom and Brenda and the others who have supported this thread amaze me. It is not easy to do this. I just wanted to say thank you. Not from the viewpoint of a person who is sick and is on the receiving end of the energy or the prayers.
But from the viewpoint of the person who, unfortunately, needs a reminder, needs a perspective adjustment every week. And wow, just thank you for doing this.

Fear of conflict, confrontation, disagreement- A leftover from our JW past?
by nvrgnbk inthere's alot being said on here now about the need for everyone to get along.. i used to think that was a goal worth striving for.. but is it realistic?.
is it even desirable?.
i still find myself telling people what they want to hear, on here and in my personal life, in business too.. it's a bad habit.. it generally produces nothing positive in the long run.. but we all want to please others.. that comes from being jw's, but it's by no means unique to our our jw past.. another thing, definitely jw-related, is that we were taught that unity should be preserved at all costs.. comments are even made on here that our "community" is "falling apart".. all we share in common is that we were or are jw's (with a few exceptions).. and our reasons for no longer being associated are many and varied.. some left on their own.. some "drifted away".. some were kicked out.. some studied but dodged the bullet and were never baptized.. some are now atheists.. some are now "spirit-filled" christians.. some don't care about religion or politics.. some care alot.. to expect unity and "we all love each other" from such a diverse group can only lead to disappointment, imo.. i want to thank hillary-step, and few others, for pointing something like this out to me a long time ago.. many of us have made good friendships here, but it's fair to say that we're not all going to be friends.. .

I don't think it's reasonable to expect it because this board (as are many others) is made up of many different kinds of people who are on varying stages out of the watchtower or dealing with family members who are in the religion.
I wish oh how I wish I wished that life were a bowl of pitted cherries....but I don't.
Not now, not anymore.
Heated debate can be good. Is it nice to call people names? No, I guess not. I know myself enough to know that sometimes I get pissed off and I might say something rude, because I'm not perfect. No one is. And that's why we can't expect a perfect forum. Can we try? Yes.
But for the most part, I have to say I think people here do a pretty good job of trying to be nice.
Yep, sometimes we break forum rules and hope we will not get caught.Ya know we call someone a name, or we swear out of line, or we start slinging mud...
But ya know....crap, I'm glad I didn't walk away just because I got my feathers ruffled and a little miffed....I'm glad I stuck it out. I'm glad people told me to look beyond the words and look at the meaning. I'm glad that I have waded through heated debates with friends even when I thought the friendship couldn't withstand it and I'm glad that sometimes people say something the wrong way, because at least they said something and it got it out in the open and it turned into a discussion that might not have taken place otherwise.
No it doesn't feel good, no I haven't always felt this way, and no I would not choose to have someone just hurl an insult at me...
But sometimes we just can't be perfect...
Ok that's enough glad for the night...I'm making myself sick...
anyhow...you get my point.....

Might I add (I didn't see this....)
Candy Canes. They come in varying flavors/colors and makea great addition to a tree.
And heirlooms turned into ornaments by adding some pretty ribbon or hooks.
Beautiful Trees Lady Lee and Bikerchic!!!
