I will email it to all I know. You guys can email to everyone you know.
Lets see if we can get this printed in a publication.
Wouldn't that be hilarious!!!!
i know i'm telling you guys this a bit late, but i really needed to let it sink in.
we told my parents about the baby sooner than we had planned.
we told them last friday.
Congrats Nos!!!!!
I know what you mean about having crappy grandparents.
I don't let my daughter talk to her crappy Grandma...talk about a negative influence. My child is better off w/o her.
She has a normal grandpa though.. taht balances the scales a bit.
I had that book "toxic parents" laying out on the coffe table one time when Toxic grandma came over. Boy did that piss her off.. she said " what is this book trying to say".. I was laughing so hard.
today i must say good-bye to a friend i have known for 14 years.
sylvester was only four months old when he and his brother scout moved in with me - a dog person - and my australian shephard.
the kittens were supposed to be pets for the 10-year-old.

I'm sorry.
those who have known me for any length of time through these forums know that my mom is, at best, unique, and at worse, totally freaking nuts.
i went to see her yesterday, specifically.
i didn't want to, i am honest enough to admit that.
((Essie))
Don't worry about becoming like your mom. The fact that you can see where she is wrong is the basis for you not being like her.
Your mom needs help..not from you... from a professional.
When I see myself doing something that reminds me of my mom I usually take a step back a little, and ask myself is what I am doing wrong?
We are bound to be like our mothers a little bit. We can't help our genes.
So when I see myself talking to other cars on the road (like my mom did) ( no one in this town knows how to drive), that its ok to talk to bad drivers, within the safety of my own car. I realize that I don't drink myslef into a alcoholic stupor and take my 10 year old kid for car rides while drunk.

ok who's going to own up to sending one of these... http://www.madzay.com/product/product_view.aspx?uid=50af9a87-5606-42a7-8d7f-606f0a8536fe.
"I love you, but I'm just not sure for how long. It's kind of indefinite. A while, maybe."
OMG I never took the meaning of the words time indefinite like that. . No wonder I say I love you forever instead of indefinite.
while talking to my teacher today we talked about excommunication.
i told her i thought it was mean to not talk to those members which have been excommunicated.
she told me; however, that those who leave the church should be punished.
Full of Doubt is right.
They are accepting of you now, because they want you to join them or like them. It's kind of like when you go on the first date with a guy. He will bring you flowers on that date to IMPRESS you. Marry that guy...10 years later you won't get flowers all the time.
Now as far as this shunning thing goes...listen to my story.
My husband was disfellowship. Yes he was repentant....... he hasn't commited this SIN again in over 10 years........10 years later ( that is over half your lifetime).. they still haven't reinstated him... eventhough he has asked to be. I think 10 years of not commiting the sin should show those men he is repentant. Jehovah God knows he is. But because of the egos of 3 men, they won't reinstate him.
When I was 5 years old my brother was disfellowshipped because of drugs. I continued talking to my brother, remember I was 5 years old. An elder had a talk with me in my kitchen he told me " If you continue to talk to your brother you will die at armageddon". He had me in tears. 5 year olds shouldn't have to decide if they should love their brother or not and shouldn't have to think about their own death at the hands of God. That is wrong..unloving and unchristian. My brother is now a family man, sucessful and a very good person. I still love him and I still talk to him. This happened 30 years ago...they still haven't reinstated him.
Now because of all of this.. I won't let my daughter get baptized. When my daughter grows and comes back home to visit she will talk to her mother and her father. I won't let someone tell my daughter you can't talk to your father because he is disfellowshipped. Because that is wrong. Ask your teacher about the scripture that says " honor your mother and your father"... how is not talking to them honoring them?
.
reading hellriders topic made me wonder about this.. i waited till i was 21 because i was drinking alcohol as a youth and didn't want to get baptized while breaking the law.
man that is screwed up, seemed reasonable at the time.
I was 20. I waited because I didn't want to get disfellowshipped as a teenager.
maybe this has already been posted or you're familiar with it but i just discovered this on itunes.
it's being sold on itunes.. the subject matter alone is enough to make you want to barf but get a load of the music and singing talent on this little gem.
a couple of the tracks landed in an imix of the worst music on itunes.
You've got to be kidding me...people actually liked those songs!?!?!?!!?
After I heard them I got that feeling like I need to take a shower afterwards.
The women know what I mean..it's the feeling that you get when you talk to some sleezy guy for 3 minutes.like you have to wash the slimeyness off of yourself.

I sent the link to these songs to a friend who is "IN".
Do you want to know what people who are "IN" think about these songs?
My friends comment "very cute songs"
do you know who the worst offenders were??
the elders.
the elders, because they were "shepherds and overseers" believed they had the right to talk about you, your family, your job, your personality and so forth.....they pick apart any male in the hall under the guise of seeing whther someone "might qualify for privileges".
My very own mother started gossip about me.
She called up lots of sisters in my current congregation and told them that I had Syphillis. Where she got that idea I'll never know. I never had syphillis. The worst thing I have ever had was the typical yeast infection.
