Just in case some people are watching this thread and not seeing the other one. The lady that called stopped by today. My mother gave a friend of hers the # to give to someone that could help with the kids so I can make it to the meetings.

defd- taking bets on how long it takes for him to become apostate...
by in a new york bethel minute inhaha i hope this doesn't come across as mean or jerky or libelous... but i can totally see defd becoming apostate... he posts here a lot which means he reads even more.
to me it's just a matter of "seeing it when you're ready to"... kind of like those 3d art things that were popular in the mid-90's... it's invisible until you make deep focus and at the same time blur your eyes to what you would normally see.

Thats a good idea , Luna.
I have already tried calling the Church of Christ and got no answer.
Too bad I couldn't maybe get someone here to call.. as long as I could trust them.

lol.. I quit wearing panties hose. If I go I try to remember to even wear undies..lol
I use to put makeup on .. do my hair and dress my best. The last time I went i think i even forgot to shave my legs and still went hoseless.
I wear an old dress that well.. now that I quit breastfeeding .. no longer shows cleavage.. and boring slip on shoes.
I don't go because its 2 hours of whispering to my kids " Shhh.. " " Stop it"... " no coloring in the bible" lol
The hard chairs hurt. The ongoing BS they spew. The fake Hi and handshakes or hugs you get.
You can't give the REAL answers to the questions during the WT and you can't ask questions back.

I have read that its better to workout in the afternoon. -
I thought I liked really in shape guys but in reality I love a little meat on the bones. It makes them more cuddly. I feel like I need to work out but I wouldn't call myself fat. What are you considering FAT? Are you just scared of getting a little tummy or full out fat ankles and everything?
I am 5'9" and I wiegh 169 I have a tummy from the three kiddos that I have yet to work off. I used to wear size 3/4 and now wear 12 or Med. I still think I am pretty but that I just need to work out and eat better. But I don't beat up myself over the things I eat.. there is always tomorrow to do better. And they are right.. your metabolism is usually awesome till your late 20s and on. You don't need to be worried or Paranoid just yet.
