i'm asking this because i found myself in an bad spot monday night.
my daughter is almost three and goes to a little preschool thing each day.
they were to have a valentine's day party on tuesday, for which i was to bring fruit, etc.
I was only in for 11 years and I had a very hard time getting back into the swing of remembering everyone's birthdays. I'm late on another one, as a matter of fact. Back when I was fully immersed in dubdom I used to go to work on my birthday and not even remember it.
You would think because I wasn't raised in the religion it would be easy to go back to celebrating, but it really was very difficult for the first year.
for those who have friends there or who just left there, what is being said about this?
Ah, Mr. Kim, I'm very intrigued.......I'll definitely be waiting and watching.
starting a new thread so that everyone can find the link.. this is the video of the elders trying to act smart stupid.

they will keep the file as long as it is downloaded once every 14 days.. enjoy
This is priceless! Good for you for your foresight and grabbing your camcorder.
Is it standard practice for the elders to send JC invites by certified mail? If so, they would have known that you hadn't recieved (or signed for) the 3 letters. I'm surprised they showed up in person to let you know.
When we were going through all that our phone rang for weeks (caller id always said it was a private caller) so we just never answered. No one physically came to let us know when our announcement was-not that I would have answered the door anyway. Pompous jerks.
'e's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
owner: no, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
owner: no, no.....no, 'e's stunned!
LOL I really liked this. Thanks!
we all know that our simply being here is considered an act of apostasy by witnesses.
whether they know you frequent such boards or not, are you considered an "apostate" by the witnesses?
Oh, most definitely. I am the number one apostate in this small town. You should see the absolute look of fear come into the dubs' eyes when they run into me. The elders are still seething because I will not take off my Silent Lambs/FreeMinds sticker off our mailbox.
zev proposed to me today and we are now engaged to be married.. i can't even put into words the condition i and my heart is in except for two words.
joy happiness.
i just wanted to share this moment with you all.. .

Wonderful letter! Good for you.
As a side note, I remember this Brother Tripp visiting me in the Marshfield hospital after the birth of my first child. Small world!
someone posted on another thread: the cong.
i came from we were not allowed to watch football though i'm sure some did on the sly.
football was likened to the christians being torn apart at the coliseum.
Our congregation ALWAYS had lots of Super Bowl parties. In fact, I met my future husband at one. What I thought was a little wierd when I was studying was that they would always turn off the volume for the national anthem and sneer about how they didn't want to listen to that. Of course, when I was a full-blown brainwashed dub, I didn't see anything wrong with that behavior.
on the 12th of this month, around 9:30pm, i was getting ready to leave for work.
running around, putting on clothes, making sure i had everything ready and the kids were settled in bed.
my husband, shawn, was laying aross our bed, resting, he stood up and suddenlly put his hand to his chest.
How frightening for you. You are in my thoughts. ((((Josie, husband, and kiddoes)))
