At my wife's church (Roman Catholic) from time to time they have speakers from different denominations, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, etc. Being raised a JW I was like, wtf, I told the wife that wouldn't fly in the KH.

I can laugh about it until I look at the picture of the mother holding her child, as a parent that image just makes me want to vomit and beat the crap out of whatever twisted toilet-bug at Bethel who drew that abortion. Edited to add: I've got a sense of humor, even a dark one at times, but somethings just aren't funny, and the death of a child is at the top of that list.

I remember my mother telling me how sick it was that other churches taught about hell and people being tormented, then we get to look at pictures like that...

My sister stayed with me for about a week a couple of months ago, she is a pioneer, two sons both at bethel, and married to super elder. She has to knock back about half to 2/3 of a bottle of port every night to get to sleep, which takes her anywhere from two to three hours before she can fall asleep. The picture of robust mental health I tell ya, but I'm sure she would deny to her last breath the borg has anything to do with it.

I knew two, one was a very old guy that was probably fairly well along into dementia when he died but a nice enough old bird.
The other was a serious wingnut who last I hear was in prision.

typically ridiculous.
by RichieRich inlast saturday, me and a friend from the hall decided to go to nc state fair together.
i have been told that the state fair is not a big deal in other areas of the country, but here in these parts, it means alot to us, expecially since we live in/near the capital city.
about the friend: he's a year younger than me, and we go to the same school.

I remember one of the few times I was stupid enough to go out with a girl from the hall (in my defense she was ridiculously hot) I pick her up (and yeah, somehow her folks didn't get the memo about no solo dates) and while she is putting on her coat her elder dad tells her right in front of me like I'm not even standing there that if I get out of hand for her to get on the phone pronto and he'll pick her up.
I'm thinking to myself, nimrod, if what I hear about your daughter is true (another one of the reasons I was stupid enough to take her out) I'll be the one calling you unless I have a padlock on my zipper. To her credit, the girl apologized profusely for her dad after we left, after which she went to work on the zipper.
As Michael Corelone said, That's a true story.
Edited to add: Didn't mean to horn in on your action Ritchie, just, stupid elder tricks have been around for a long time. Glad you gave it to the guy.

Andi,
It is just such a natural time for you all to be together, I mean, it would be odd at say 8 o'clock to say, okay, let's all sit down and have a chat. When you have kids I highly recommend it, and I agree, it needs to be peaceful, no fighting, etc., just a time to talk. My parents were always very adament about it, that for however long it took us to eat we were going to talk together as a family, probably the only thing that allowed us to work through my rebelling against the borg yet remain on speaking terms.

Just about everynight unless really odd circumstances we sit down and eat together, no radio, no TV. I have read articles like this before and really believe in the concept. Questions get asked about school, how things are going etc. I really feel like it makes us bond as a family and there is something about breaking bread together that lends itself to open free communication, probably goes back to our caveman roots.
