I'm happy to hear you had a wonderful time with your family! We have to take the good times when we can, and keep the memories close to our hearts for when life gets us down.
I can't see your pic.

Sister getting baptized.....
by searchingforfriends inmy little sister just called to inform me the she has completed her baptism questions and is scheduled to get dunked in a few months.
there's not really anything i can do or say about it because she's a minor and in my oppinion not old enough to make any life long commitment.
anyone have a similar situation?

Then I agree, you have to tread carefully to keep the lines of communication open. Go, support your sister, and stay close to her as she gets older and starts thinking. The teen years are rough years, and that's when she'll start to exert her independance from your parents. Bide your time, plant the seeds, keep your relationship strong, and let her know you are there for her no matter what, that she can talk to you about anything and not fear being turned into your parents or the elders. That is very important, that she can have someone that she trusts completely with any doubts or problems she may be having.

Sounds like there is no way you can change or stop this baptism. Are you or were you a JW? Has she asked you to go and see her baptized? If there is ANY way you can reason with her to even postpone things, I'd do that, but you have to be careful you don't alienate her. The best thing you can do is just be there for her, and maybe "plant some seeds" as she gets older and starts thinking for herself. It's always good to have someone on the "outside".

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

Sweetface, if it's one thing I've learned from you, it's how to be strong and independant. Sounds like you have your life back in your hands, good for you girl! Can't wait to see you again next month.

The Society is Upset: R&F Not Following the Recommended Lodging List
by SirNose586 inan elder read a letter last night, and i practically giggled through the whole thing.
his poorly manufactured gravitas was most amusing, given the ludicrous content of the letter.. it seems the society is pissed that the friends aren't choosing the "recommended lodging" when going to conventions.
i remembered two important details about the letter.

hhhmmmmm isn't there a difference between a "Recommened list" and a "Required to book at these hotels only" list. Seems to me it's only a "recommended" list of hotels. Maybe they need to change their wording hehehehe.

I haven't been able to do this recently, but I volunteered at a stable that teaches mentally and physically challenged children to ride horses. It was amazing to see how these children came alive on those horses.
