  you guys remember the show third rock from the sun?

  if you don't, a group of aliens take on human bodies and pose as a family on earth.

  they try to fit in but get things wrong and hilarity ensues.. yesterday my family celebrated easter.

  What's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?

  what's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?.

  my personal recommendation: synecdoche, new york.

  it's one of those movies that words fail utterly to capture--which really is the hallmark of a good movie, i suppose.

  back in september of 08 my mom died, and both of my parents had been jw's since 1978.. in the mid 80's they moved down south to retire.

  and she was the type of person who remembered everyones anniversary, if someone got .

  sick, or died she would send a card, flowers, to the family or call.. even years after they moved away !.

  i was flat out told several times by people that they would be happy to talk to me after i go back to meetings and recieve the spritual food i "needed". i've never done anything wrong. they know nothing about me other than i don't go to meetings. i never even said anything bad about the wtbts.... i didn't realize that was the norm til it happened to me. my family was never like that at all when we were active. we didn't even care if they were df'd. we still talked to them.... now i look back and see that i had absolutely NO friends growing up. no one actually really got to know us. just chatted at meetings. my husband was born and raised in the same place and has a million friends that he's known since he was little. NOW i see what real friends look like and act like. i'm VERY BLESSED to have his friends completely take me in!!! (and they're all pagan trinitarians. lol!!)

  i'm already being stalked by the elders, thanks to my wife.

  they had a "shepherding call" for three hours while waiting for me to come back to my house.

  if they're that determined, i'm somewhat concerned about their reaction to what i'm going to do.

  p.s. i don't think they'll corner you at memorial. too many outsiders there. they like to pester family into making you talk to them. the elders at my hall bugged my mom and she said "she's a grown, married woman now. you need to go ask her, not me!!" every time they called OUR house when i was home. lol. my family was never into playing along.
