what did you do as a child (or adult) to survive boredom during meetings?.

as a child i remember sitting behind a sister with a pink angora sweater.

i would pull of a bit of the lint from it and tilt my head back and place it above my lips a bit.

what with the job i do and possibly my internal make-up, its really quite rare that i see something that i find moving.

however, seeing bob geldof bring on the beautiful african lady who had 10 minutes left to live 20 years ago, who has now finished her agricultural degree in africa and has grown up due to live aid's efforts, i felt i had to post something here...

so if you haven't been to www.live8live.com and signed the electronic petition then stop whatever you're doing and do it now!!!!!

me and the deemunz
by katiekitten in

2. experiences
i was lucky to have been brought up in the troof, because if i hadnt, i wouldnt have known about the demons and how they are always looking for opportunities to lead us astray by appearing as ghosties, or by making household objects float, or by getting into our house through items bought from car boot sales.. my first memories of the deemunz was quite early, say aged 5 or 6. i used to think they were at the end of the bed, and so i had to sleep with my legs curled up as tightly as possible, so they wouldnt get my toes.

i cant even begin to think what terrible things they were going to do with my piggies, but sure as the apostles i wasnt going to give them a chance.. aged 7 or 8 i knew the deemunz were after me, because i was special.

i was a jehobas witness.
