don't get all excited...i don't mean lastnight.

spankings were a regular occurence in my family, and don't think that was uncommon for born-in jws.

my parents loved the line "we spank you because we love you.

2. beliefs
we had the co visit in the cong last week.

he reread the pioneer letter for april at the end of the meeting on tuesday, he basically stated he was looking especially forward to every elders and ms and their families application, and it would be nice to see out of the 150 publishers with the elders and ms and their families "taking the lead" if we could break 100 aux pioneers that month.

you could hear a pin drop...it was a bit strong to say the least.

What silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?

so what silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?.

back in my early 20's, i had a pair of comfy old jeans that started to tear in about 3 places on the leg.

it was the fashion at the time so not only did they feel great to wear, they also looked 'in', not that i cared for that, but it was a bonus .

Got My Nose Pierced Yesterday
by Coffee House Girl in
1. jw
2. experiences
well since i cant grow a beard, dont have the patience for dread-locks, and do not want anything permanent like a tatoo yet..... i enjoyed the experience, never been in a tatoo parlor, this looks understated, not painful & everyone hates my new nose "glitter" which i find kinda funny.

i don't see it being a permanent thing with me, but i always wanted one, and you never know if you don't try..... just one more step in the independent direction of making my own choices-.

btw i also registered to vote last week!.
