my first was my worse, the people were home but didn't answer, they must have sent their dog out the back because after the second ring and of course at least 1 knock all of a sudden this huge german shepherd came from around the side of the house.
i was like no way, i could not believe my luck.
i am not afraid of dogs but the little haitian immigrant elder i was with almost shit his pants.
My worse door,
I was squeaky new, a sister and I got out at a house that had a run down trailer behind it. She took the house and sent me to the trailer, where I had to slop thru mud to get to it . There were no steps so I knocked on the bottom of the door.
A man answered dressed only in jeans, I had obviously woke him up. So, as I looked up at him, I forgot everything I had planned to say, so I said...
"You don't care about the Bible do you ?" and he goes "Nope". and that was it....

my partner has been posting here for a little while, so i figured i'd start posting too.

Welcome to you both....

Not sure I could handle him in the house, if it's that cold, I suppose he could go to the basement...

it was exactly that time ago when the tradgedy of hillsborough happened.. i remember seeing it happen on tv, it was the fa cup semifinal of liverpool v notts forest.
it was 6 minutes into the match when it was abandoned, there was people spilling over the fences, stewards and fans from the upper tier trying to pull people up out of the crush, bodies layed out on the pitch, nothing but chaos & mayhem everywhere.. truly a very sad day.. lfcv.
Yes Ifcviking, that was a sad day indeed... I remember hearing about it on our local news...
Nice that you are honoring their memory...

so 8 years ago this time, i was running around in a mad rush - hairdressers and make up and flowers and so on.
the wedding was gorgeous.
somehow, by some miracle, we managed not to totally piss off either of our families (nic - of a catholic/anglican background and me of a jw background).
Hope You Both have a "Wonderful" day,
Cas
sorry in advance to all of the ones on this forum now, who partook while jw.
i have to say that in my experience, having known personally several who were "of the annointed", most were absolutely dingy.
the only exception was the little ancient gal who had attended the early convention where all attendees were "annointed" en masse!
In all of my 13 years in, we never had anyone partake at the memorial. I hated that, since I wanted to get to know someone that had the "Heavenly Hope"...just to see what made them tick...
at some point nearly every day of the week was soiled by the prospect of some 'spiritual' activity.
it took me years of inactivity before i started seeing tuesdays and thursdays as enjoyable, without a shadow hanging over them.
wednesday was always my favorite day of the week.. .
Crazy as it sounds but I used to love it when me or the kids had a cold. Then I had a REAL excuse to stay home for the evening
So glad to know I'm not the only one guilty of the above... Also prayed for snow, lots and lots of snow... just anything, to get out of
those meetings without having to feel "Guilty"...!!!

so how do you all like her new hairdo ?

... Hope,
Totally Wild...!!

as ex-jw's we've all cleary changed our minds about what 'the truth' is but do you think you could make another big change like that again?
i honestly cannot see myself changing my mind about the non-existence of god and the supernatural - but hey, i was just as dogmatic in my jw days that those things were real!
i guess anything is possible but it feels as though with every passing year my options for change are reduced.
Not really, I'm usually an all or nothing person. When I do make a decision, I will stick to it.
On the other hand, I realize most things don't have to be "Written in Stone", and if there are enough factors to sway me, I will change my mind...

i do and sometimes i do it when i am happy, when i have had a good meal, when a friend is on the phone and they went to do something - it's my musical interlude.
i think some people hum without noticing it.
i also used to hum to my brother, it was our way of communiting when we were young and a game we played where we would hum a tune and then each of us would try to give a verse.
Not usually... but if I've just heard one those songs that you just can't get out of your head, then I will find myself humming it...
