I had an elder come by on a psuedo-shepherding call the other day. He read a scripture and applied it to me, implying that I had a problem. I wasn't rude to him, but I looked him straight in the eye and told him he was interpreting the scriptures based on HIS opinion. It was like I threw cold water in his face!

gold stars
by Hortensia insitting here on friday night watching dr. who, humming "mull of kintyre" and thinking about the gold stars i found in my desk today.
think i'll give myself a gold star - i taught myself to weave and finished my first hand-woven-with-love-totally-useless-really-pretty thing.
that was an accomplishment!

I was preemptively reverse shunned at a store once...
I saw a guy I hadn't seen for several years, so I walked up to him to say hello. As I approached, he looked at me with a blank, lifeless stare, and in a really sad tone said, "Sorry, I cannot talk to you, I'm disfellowshipped."
It was very awkward.

Fun game for the convention
by Iwonder17 inso you already know how much the parking nazi's aggravate me.. so every time that we have gone to the dc, i have my kids guess how many morons it take to help me park my care ( i word it nicely as i don't want to be a jerk in front of my kids ) the last time, it took 15 idiots to point me to a parking spot.. guess how many people it took to help me park when i went to a nfl football game last year ( 75,000 people attended the game ).....2....one on the street with a flag and a second to collect the $$.. the amazing thing was that there were no accidents at the football game and all of the cars somehow fit in the spaces without 4 teenage jw's pointing at the exact smae spot..

Good and Evil don't exist as invisible forces in the universe... they are concepts, and they are relative.

My kids and my dog play in the driveway all of the time. If someone hit either of them, there would be hell to pay.

"If these remained silent, the stones would cry out."—Luke 19:40,
I really wish all the believers would agree to remain silent for a little while.
If the stones cry out, everyone will know for sure.

I was tagged to do parking once. That was enough. Who wants to stand out in the heat and direct cars with 15 redundant guys doing the same thing? Some "Privilege"...
Isn't it odd how people will line up to do the most menial tasks if you call them "Privileges"?
Hey fellas... we're gonna give you the privilege to shovel some shit over here...
Oh, pick me, please pick me!

The copper serpent....drives me nuts!
by oompa ingraven images are so thoroughly criticized in the bible....totally forbidden.
yet any idols made where powerless...just a piece of wood you can also cook on.
yet god sent out zillions of vipers (thanks dude) to bite everybody....and actually has a scary viper impage made an put on a pole....with some serious power attached.

dinah said: "Why do the Israelites make me think of cavemen running around with clubs and rocks??"
I don't think that's too far off. They were a bunch of superstitious, primitive, nomads.
And thousands of years later, people stake their lives on silly rules that those "primitives" cooked up.
