decided to spend the day wasting time.
drove down to redding.
on the way i saw the real woody woodpecker -- every time i see one of those red-headed woodpeckers i think of the cartoon character.
Talesin - I love a rainy, cozy day. And I hope you get to take all the walks you want next fall.
Frankie - It's still amazingly beautiful here, I hope climate change doesn't destroy all the wonderful forests. Shasta Lake is so low, it's very sad. Today I could see grass growing on the lake bed where the water used to be very deep.
Fiddler, if you ever come this way, let me know. We can drive up a few mountains for the views, or go have coffee at Seven Suns.
i am sure that jws will use this as an impending sign that the beast will turn on babylon and ban all religions.
it will feed thier persecution complex quite a lot!.

Well, religions certainly have too much special treatment. Religion gets a pass far too often, when it should be held accountable or challenged. And certainly every government on earth should tax those damned organizations.

Oh come one now, surely some of you are as frivolous as I am? What's your story? How do you fritter away time?
take note governing body of jehovahs witnesses (tm).
even the pope realizes that it is important to get the secular authorities involved in child molestation cases.
wake up and smell the coffee!!!.
Not cynical. Just calling a spade a spade. Religion has a lot to answer for, and now some of them are being called to account. When you think of all the terrible damage done by religion, what the pope is doing isn't enough. It's a start, but he's got the augean stables to deal with, and I don't see him trying to clean it all out. He's a realist. It doesn't make him a saint.

Yes, Lassen and Shasta look marvellous with their coats of snow. Shasta Lake, however, looks very sad.
Lisa - you're right, they are very funny birds. I always get a kick out of seeing them. As for christmas ornaments, sounds like fun to me. I'm not artistic or crafty, unfortunately, except that I'm an avid knitter. I just finished a beautiful scarf -- at least it's beautiful to me -- and am very satisfied with it. Waiting for yarn for the next project -- should arrive this week.
And naps are a vital part of life.

So, Shirley and Frankie, what have you all been up to lately that is totally frivolous?

LOL, Shirley You made me laugh.
F**k Jah and his mighty spirit and his time-keeping poobahs. I had a great time without them!

Let's not start admiring this man, now. He's the head of a crazy religion, and he's just trying to limit the damage to the church. Maybe he's dealing with the pedophile issue, but what about all the crazy doctrines that oppress the members of the church?
besides being overworked and overstressed almost everyday in the past few months,.
i've had to deal with a 'broken heart', insecurities with my physical appearance (gained a lot of weight),.
and being lonely because i started distancing myself from the 'congregation', i just want to cry, sob, and bawl out here in my bedroom.
Yes, talk to your doctor and get some meds. Exercise outside in the sunshine every day, it makes a difference. When you are that depressed, it's very hard to help yourself, but it can be done. I used to make little bargains with myself: "I can be as miserable as possible, go to bed and hide, right after I do some exercise."
no not that letter.. so we hobbled along with the family relationship.
my parents (super-devout, highly involved and connected in jw-land,) spoke with me occasionally with that sad mopey voice.
at one point about 6 years ago, my mom quit speaking to me.
Good for you! People somehow mistakenly believe that they owe something to their parents, the parents who neglected, mistreated, abused and shunned their own children. We don't owe them anything. And telling the truth does relieve a lot of stress.
I had an ambivalent relationship with my JW mother until she died. Not as bad as many experiences I've read here, but not always good, either. It took going to a psychologist for therapy to finally realize that it was OK to feel the way I did. What else could she expect from me, considering all that had gone before?
