  I love my saturdays......

  i woke up this morning and made coffee and we are planning on eating a big breakfast and then doing a hike to a waterfall where we can play in the water and pick wild blueberries.

  it got me thinking how wonderful it is to have my weekends to myself now.

  when i was a dub i would skip out on service a lot but the whole day was ruined for me because i'd feel guilty for not going out in service.

  When I got my first minimum wage job,at a local factory, but still lived at home, I used to volunteer to work overtime on Saturday, just to avoid field service! After I got an apartment, my room mate actually had to teach me what normal people do on Saturdays. I felt like a tourist in a foreign country, learning new customs! Now I know why people look forward so much to Friday nights and their weekends.

  A Drunk MissPeaches

  i had a phonecall last night from an intoxicated lady most of you will know as misspeaches.

  it was hilarious, especially when she offered to send a photograph of herself to me in the middle east, to give to some philippinos that i work with!

  of course in return they had to smuggle some alcohol onto the boat for me, fair trade i say!.

  Children and school assembly

  my little child in the uk starts school soon.

  i wasn't brought up a jw and am inactive but there are lots of other jw children going and apparently are'nt allowed to go to school assemblies.

  i can't remember anything wrong with school assemblies and i think it's daft to keep my child in a separate room while its going on.

  I, too, was told to go sit in the library, but I finally just started going to the assembly and not telling my parents. They objected to the flag salute when the thing began, it was sometimes oriented around a holiday, or they would have us build up school spirit for a football game, or just sing "objectionable" songs. The elders advised to not put the kids in a group situation where peer pressure might weaken them, and they join in the flag salute or national anthem, or similar wicked acts.

  If anyone went, or is from the DeKalb area, I have a relative who went that I'm curious about, Haven't seen him in years. He'd be in his early 60's now. You can PM me, if you don't mind. He mysteriously departed Bethel in the late 70's, and never married. Hmmm.
