Any suggestions?

i have a predicament.

i was wondering how to go about telling neighbors that i am now going to celebrate the holidays.

this time last year (when we were still new in our subdivision) it seemed to be one birthday after another here in my neighborhood.

Just a thought, but if you did not let your kids go to their kid's birthday parties, don't start out inviting their kids to birthday parties for your kids or you are liable to get people thinking that you are just fishing for gifts for your kids, but didn't want to buy any for theirs. Start with other holiday events, then as you get to know people better, put the word out that you are now open to invitations for your kids to go to their kid's birthday parties because you have changed in your beliefs. Once you have that established, you can issue birthday party invitations.

Does that make sense to you? I just know how people are sometimes.

St. Louis exjw-meetup

anybody here been to exjw-meetup meetings in st. louis, mo?

are they still meeting?

mimimimi

There was a Plank family in Jerseyville. Daughter (Andrea) married a pioneer brother named Chris Mathenia and they were in my congregation for a while. It seems like Tom was her brother's name. I met him once when we picked him up from work while we were out in service and he spent the rest of the afternoon out with us. I think he would be in his early or maybe mid-20's. Is that who you mean? The parents sold their house and moved from J'ville to Alton and were in the same congregation as me. I never got to really know them as I was missing a lot of meetings and finally just stopped going.

Hi, Jeepthing. I never got around to sending you a long e-mail this last weekend like I said I would. I will call you one day this week. Don't know about ex-JW meetups in St. Louis, though.

I think if I have a physical response to one of these things, that is physically attractive.

Well, abr, it's different strokes for different folks. You should ask your wife what turns her on. Then do that, but also look for romantic things to surprise her. Bring her some little special gift gift you know she will enjoy occasionally. It could be something you buy, or something you find such as picking a flower. Give her a foot rub or massage. Send her a romantic or a funny card and write your own message in it. It can be a sweet message or it can be a funny message, maybe a private joke between the two of you. Tell her how much you appreciate her and what she means to you. Make her feel appreciated. That is a real turn-on to me. I think things done can be more attractive than how you look. But don't discount a pair of overalls with no shirt on underneath on a hot summer day.

I think it is physically sexy and hot when my husband gets up after dinner and washes dishes. Of course, I guess that's just me.

But I also think it is sexy and hot when he wears overalls, or coordinates his ballcap and shirt, coat, or vest. I am also attracted to the ways he stands and walks. He has good posture, stands tall, carries his head high, and walks with confidence. He just exudes the aura of a successful and powerful man, which he is in his own sphere.

they were acting on a tip and raided an apartment in kirkwood missouri..not only did they find the white truck..and the boy..they found a boy that was abducted almost 5 years ago.both seemed to be in good condition.. both boys lived in rural parts of missouri also.. that just doesn't happen!

can you imagine..the parents of the first one abducted had started the fingerprint children system a while back.. i bet their parents are so happy..i am... they will tell us more later..this is going to be very interesting!.

just thought i would share..good things don't seem to happen very often in these kind of cases.. snoozy....

mimimimi

The guy who had them is named Michael Devlin. It's on MSN breaking news. I am so glad they were found. I know Shawn Hornbeck's family must have given him up for dead a long time ago.

Did being an elder jepordize your own family?

by avidbiblereader in

do you think being an elder jepordized your own family or do you know of elders who burnt themselves out at the expense of the congregation and let their own families go to the way side?

do you have experiences that this laboring for the congregation has ruined families?.

i tried to be balanced but to do it all, i remember getting up at 2:30 am before work to work on parts so to have time with my daughter but i feel that i took time that was and should have been devoted to my family that had to be put into the congregation for any reason.

mimimimi

Just look at how many elders have to step down because of problems in their family and that will give you your answer. Of course, the other side of that coin is the elders who did not step down, but made their children move out of the family home so they could continue to be elders.
