Yay!!!!
I survived!!!!
So glad I woke up.... The stress/burden/anxiety of end-times stuff really is abuse....
Rather focus on giving and receiving love, giggles and beaming smiles!!!!

73The world ends on May 27, 2012....
by pseudoxristos inor so says ronald weinland;.
may 27, 2012april 29, 2012. as readers of this site know, may 27, 2012, is the time that i have stated as being the date jesus christ will return as king of kings over all government on this earth.
for such an event to come to pass, the trumpets of revelation must all sound, the united states and dollar collapse, the ten nations of europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the holy roman empire, and russia with china must unite against europe in wwiii.. .... http://www.ronaldweinland.com/.

Kids on Leashes at Conventions.
by Diest indid you ever see those parents with kids on leashes at conventions?
i always disliked it and thought it was wierd/lazy...granted i have never been a parent so maybe i dont know.
video reminded me how silly/messed up those leashes are.. .

My children both started walking on their own at 9mos (yes I still did crawling exercises with them to grow their medula!)
I did the halter-leash thing with both kiddos..... (can't warn enough about the dangers of wrist leashes, so many injuries to lil ones arms and joints)
It actually provided them freedom while demonstrating 'boundaries'....
I never dragged or tugged my children -(they were known to tug/drag me though)
They are quite independent and walked alongside or ahead of me curious about their world....
Eventually each child addressed their own need for physical autonomy and the leash was retired....
I never once had one of those 'where is my kid' or 'he/she ran out into the oncoming traffic' scares.....
Would do it all again if I have anymore babies.....
_____
In the end an abusive/neglectful parent will always find a way to abuse/neglect whether it is by abusing a leash or beating a child for wandering off
Faked enthusiasm, happiness and family bliss is all that happens at a DC.....everything is for 'show'.

Hate away.... but for me ....
I actually adore his presentations and wish he would make an audio reading of the MBOB...
His voice just seems to soothe me to a sleep-like lull....

Strong communities
Strong children
Heartbreak and failure would greatly diminsh.....

My MORNING FS REPORT.....
Girls all piled out of minivan and into Hall....
I resign myself ..... que sera sera
Girls surround Brother with suggestion of ideal groupings, impressed with their initiative and zeal he agrees!
Girls all sit together in second row preening like FS queen bees at getting their suggestion implemented...
My group goes to Wendy's where girls talk boy bands and my daughter's trip to the east coast......Sister and I gossip who went where and who went straight to FS among other things...
We are getting ready to leave when girls collide and orange soda goes everywhere!
I keep extra clothes in trunk.....Sister doesn't and girls are not the same size so we go to Sister's house for them to change and us to pretreat tops/skirts.....
Girls get comfortable in tanks/shorts......whining about not wanting to go quickly follows...
Sister and I are both 'born-ins'......we remember what it is like to be in middle school and do D2D so we cave rather quickly until Sister's mom calls to make sure we are headed back to town (grrrr.....) Now Sister and I are stuck between rock and hard place cuz you don't cross your momma and yet agreed to ditch......so we decide to hide in plain sight....drive to town and park toward the back of movie theater.
We saw MIB-3 (cute movie)
Once over we made a point to have girls throw on sundresses atop of shorts/tanks and run into Sister's mom.....
Mom praised girls for their morning suggestion and how they stayed the course through adversity (clothes debacle) and kept their committment to Service.....really it was an over the top speech....both Sister and I were eyerolling big time!
The only thing better then us getting away with it 'scot-free' was when the girls confessed they had cooked up the orange soda accident last night and in fact all the girls were to have similar accidents....
Ain't life grand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you go out door to door after you knew you were finished.
by GeneM ini did for a year.
i falsified reports, had fake rv's, told groups i was meeting up with other groups and went home just to show a presense.
i wasn't fading though, because of my situation i had to play like everything was fine.

I still do...
That said I cycle my 'dedication' and right now I am still milking my college study group as a RV....... we are really laid back here and I don't fill out forms so much as verbally assert my numbers .... current monthly average since Memorial 25-40 hours (during my most inactive months i still comp 15 between ubm, undunked kiddos, retail FS and an occassional laundrymat/doc office lit removal)
I don't really mind when i do 'real fs' that much because we have a very very very uber low conversion rate and many a pioneer with 30-year RV calls...... okay I am lying I mind it very much if I am ambushed into real FS or if I get partnered with a sandwhich packing sister.....
For those still going out may I suggest that you find a witty way to inquire from a frustrated householder if they are suggesting they would like to be put on the 'do not call' list.......or be even more BOLD and keep a ready made DNC request slip in your pocket, briefcase or bookbag....
Actually it would be kinda funny for those of you in more heavily populated areas to do D2D DNC campaign. Go out with slips, clipboard and pens signing up entire subdivisions /apartment complexes .....giggles

Sigh.... great point about appearances Min!
They don't even sell kids suits locally..... gotta drive to the nearest metropolis or order online.
Thinking about the other churches in my area..... kids all wear casual.
Heck ... most pastors wear khakis and polos!
Losch got his wish... I can spot a JWkid and FSpairings a mile away.....

Prior to waking up--- No, I was trying to save them
After waking up--- Not really I am a double threat as JW and GirlScout mom ....and doing the occassional 'real FS' (versus counting my UBM/undunked kids and monthly 'retail fs') keeps me under the radar.... BTW I get way better results with Cookies then the Washtowel and Asleep.....not like many people are home these days....tons of locked gates too....

Something I never realized or thought of before: Discreet vs Discrete
by poopsiecakes inso my whole life i heard the phrase 'faithful and discrete slave' and never paid attention to the real meaning of "discrete".
which is weird, because i'm a bit of a word junkie.
i guess the familiarity of the expression made me mentally gloss over it somehow.

We use 'Discreet' in the FDS
