i was "assigned" by the body of elders to talk to a pioneer/ministerial servant about his b o. he didn't have a car and so was always put in someone's car group.
everyone complained about having to take him.. when i talked to him about his stink, he got very very offended and copped an attitude.
i finally told him that unless he started bathing and washing his disgusting oily hair, he would be removed from his assignments.....what i never understood is how anybody could be told that they actually smelled and yet get pissed off with me!.
It's not B.O., but here's one of the best descriptions of bad breath that I've ever heard:
"Her breath is so bad, it smells like something crawled out of her butt, found its way to her mouth, and died there. Then, it came back to life just long enough to fart."
cantleave, Lillith26, Goshawk.....you crack me up!
.
just thought i'd share this pic lol.
paul.
Thanks for posting that...it made my day! (Now, where did I put those Village People albums?)

thought it was interestingly bizarre that ct russell was chosen.. http://www.staggeron.org/universe.html#dead_vote_for_obama.

<< part ii.
leaving home and losing my religion.
sometime in early 1986 my dad asked me the hitherto unspoken question i had been in patient dread of.
Thanks, Paul, for the time and effort to tell your story. Looking forward to reading the next part (with a cup of cocoa)
my story part 1 where did it all go wrong?.
hi, my name is paul and im an ex-jehovahs witness.
by the end of this sorry tale i hope to be an ex-ex-jehovahs witness.
lol at Steve_C 's link - we love Hermosa - the tiniest bit edgy but still 100% safe for the family - when were you last there?
Gosh, I think it's been at least 10 years. I drove around trying to locate the different places I had lived in during the 60s--old duplexes and apartments--and they had ALL been replaced by condos. The same for my grammar school
By the way, if Pier Avenue School is still there, that's where the gym scenes for the Stephen King movie Carrie were filmed.
Gonna go read Part 2 now...

I thoroughly enjoyed your story and am looking forward to the next installment.
Thanks for posting the photos, too; the area you grew up in looks gorgeous! What a contrast to where you're living now. (I grew up in Hermosa Beach. Back then, in was a place for hippies and low-income folks like my single mom and her two kids. My, how times have changed... CNN Money: Best Places for the Rich and Single)
i don't want to talk about healthcare reform (it hits too close to home).
i don't want to talk about michael vick (he's back).
i don't even want to talk about obama (he's not the boogyman).
Isn't there a bottle called a "split"? I seem to remember Cher using this term in the movie Moonstruck.
i was baptized at the 1976 "sacret secret" dc at inglewood ca there must have been 50,000 people there..
The building was purchased in the 90s by Marla Gibbs (Remember her from The Jeffersons and 227?), and has since been turned into a performing arts center.
Found this photo on the Internet. The feelings it evokes from me can best be described as "queasy-nostalgic."
confession, thank you so much for posting this: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/180076/1/my-jw-parents-met-my-wife-but-would-not-see-me.
you and your wife have certainly taken the high road in this situation, and you've inspired me to do the same.. i'm a born-in who's been out for about 7 years; consequently, my mom and sister shun me.
they both live in the same town, about 800 miles from where i had been living.
You know, folks usually only regret the things they didn't do.
Furthermore, if love is going to do any "breaking through", you know it has to come from our side... the outside... the "dark" side. Ha.Here's hoping. Keep reminding yourself you are doing this in love, and realize that they live in fear. Otherwise, it will hurt you.
Very well said, BabaYaga.
And thanks, Confession, for your further words; I think I'm going to have to print them out and refer to them often.
