  Counsel by school overseer...

  what was your worst point of counsel?

  i think for most men, it was gesturing to an audience while trying to make it look natural.

  i remember writing on my notes to gesture and to speak slowly... what was your hardest point of counsel to work on?.

  i've lived in my new house for a year and a half... in a nice newer neighborhood, in town.. the dubs have never been to my house and i've never seen them in the neighborhood.

  i'm home almost all day every day!.

  Don't feel bad, God still loves you. Honestly, nobody goes out that much anymore. When you drive by the halls nobody is there. No cars, no people-----I remember when I was a busy girl in service, we would have huge groups every day, but that is not how it is today, I am telling the door to door work is slowly dying out.............so consider it a blessing if they don't knock at your door, if you want the magazines just go to your local laundry mat, thats where they leave. them....................

  i think i might (if it is possible) be.......slightly...inclined toward foot fetishism....but only slightly.

  but, i find that i look at attractive feet and find them esthetically pleasing.

  and......slightly (only slightly) exciting.. i have no idea what this means.

  2. experiences

  not just one you have seen - or even researched since leaving.

  but the oldest one you recall studying when you 'got the truth' or as a child?.

  i remember "let god be true" - 'babylon the great has fallen'- and 'paradise restored - paradise regained' [the big orangish/pink book - hope i got the name right] - all 50's early 60's books.

  We always thought it was dumb to have the sisters work on outlines---------we were never going to give a public talk-------why the heck did we need to work on outlines?????????????? Our school overseer would ask to see your outline so he could make sure you had one-------------so I would type up an outline to show him----he was very impressed-----and then I would type my usual notes and use them on the stage he was none the wiser----------I got a "G" and did my talk my way-----------I did feel a little guilty when he was praising me for using an outline to all the audience.........I just smiled like, yup, I fooled you old man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  paragraph 1

  paragraph 2

  (1 john 3:14, 18) parents, you do well to imitate jesus' love and patience, never giving up in your efforts to train your children.. children fail to respond to your counsel.

  Enjoyed this review! A CO said a true statement "WE HAVE THEIR HEADS BUT WE DON'T HAVE THEIR HEARTS" Meaning you can brainwash them all you want, but if their heart wants out--------THEY WILL LEAVE, AND THESE KIDS ARE, they have had enough. How I wish I had the confidense to leave as a teen................I say good luck to all that leave.............

  I can't get away from those people

  my wife just hired a new housekeeper yesterday.. she found her name in the local papers and decided to give her a call.

  after checking her references my wife agreed to let her come to the house yesterday to clean on a trail basis.. over the phone she used the phrase "critical times".

  this imediately set off alarms in my wife's head that this woman could be a dub.

  You seem to be doing well. Please remember it will take time with your mind and heart to be at peace totally...........it is surprising how often we catch our selfs thinking and responding as a Witness...........and when you have family in, you have to play the part for their sakes..........we are like you right now, just take it slow ....and things will work out............YOUR ARE FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
