I squandered my youth for a cult![ I want it back!]
Yah, no kidding! Only way for me to make up for it now is to give Spencer his childhood, and enjoy my adulthood
1) our young ones are indeed a grand blessing in the congregation.
they often times assist elderly ones in the ministry, take on responsibility in the congregation, and also assist in the caring and maintenance of the kingdom halls.
but thoughtful youth also do well to ask themselves..."am i doing enough?".

my wife is in kansas city for a few days.
she went out there to compete in a contest sponsored by sife that they won in charlotte nc that was part of a college project.
i thought it would be good to have a few days to do whatever i wanted without her.
Crack open a beer and join us in chat, it sure helps me waste pass the time :)
whatever will we do about the wedding????
Vegas sounds like a feasible option :)
im getting some new tat's.
they are giong to be nautical stars.
each color, each direction.
I say avoid the KKK guy as much as possible, understandably he pisses you off, but it's a pointless fight in my opinion. And if this guy is harrassing your friend he should call the police. I'm not sure what part the country you're in, but Hate Crimes are increasing in their punishments.

just wondering what experiences you good folks have had with the the famous (or infamous)?
Mark Victor Hansen, co author of Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I had breakfast with him, at my table, at a 5 day seminar we were both guests for. He is a great guy.
Now that's exciting! When you get to spend an extended amount of time with an inspirational person. That's what really counts.
I've made quite a list of people I'd like to have breakfast with at my table
i would have posted this yesterday but for some reason it was unavailable.. i called one of my jw sisters, my turn to call.. a couple of months ago we all got together...hadn't seen any of them in 5 years.. well...she met my hubby and she said what he said was bothering her...i said: oh, i wasn't in the conversation what was it that bothered her....(my first mistake) seems like he brought up the un letter and something about what the real good news is.. she then started her hitler/nazi questions saying she is concerned about my spirituality....... i told her i have a relationship with jehovah and that is what matters...didn't stop her...i also told her i am a big girl and have taken care of my spirituality since i married the first time and left home.. i got off the subject by calling after my dog...and i was shaking the whole afternoon.. ya all know i am fading....geez...i wasn't prepared for this conversation...i am debating on telling her if she wants to continue a relationship with me then she needs to respect my spirituality and not question it...according to romans 14 where it says: each one has an accounting before god.
while i was married to husband #1 she never wanted to hear anything negative...so i had no support during that time and during my divorce as well.. she mentions she is concerned about my spirituality cause i don't talk about meetings or field service.
i would like to reinforce the fact that she doesn't like negative conversations, remind her of my marriage and divorce and after my divorce when i wanted to have an ear to listen to me, but she didn't...so since she set the rules of no negative comments that is why i chose not to talk about meetings or field service because they are negative>.
Ahhhh Code!! You rock hun!! And Husband..... whichever number he is :), rocks too. Spiritualiy is an incredibly PERSONAL thing, and it's NO ONE else's place to question someone's spirituality. You know that! You shouldnt have to play by her rules. ANd next time she tries to make you doubt your own spirituality you should politely remind her of this.
*muah*
was wondering.
in one word, how would you all describe your experience/s in leaving the club?
mine would have to be cathartic
great word Tale..... I've often compared my old self to a catapiller
every few nights my daughter calls me in and says she's worried about the crocodile coming to get her.
i know some people on here have small children (she's three), what do you say to them?
i tell her there's not really any crocodiles, but it doesn't seem to help.
LOL

No, I haven't checked into Texas which is why I asked the question
Well for one, lots of really great people live there like Xena for instance. 2 The Bush family is from there (it doesnt get much better than that :)) and 3 they say that EVERYTHING is really big in Texas
