i had a great 1st father's day.
I had a great 1st father's day. It started with my presents and breakfast. Then mini golf with the fam and picnic lunch at the park. Yesterday we also went to the local Speedway. That was fun. We've lived less than 10 miles from it for the last 9 years and had never gone before. We went with our new neighbor friends.

Here is the photo again.
I believe they are back to going to Loveland now.
They had been going to Bud center up till last year. This will be the 1st year they use the assembly hall for the DC's. I hated going to Pueblo too.

When Mrs. Dazed and I moved here to Colorado 9 years ago, we never knew where the conventions and assemblies were going to be held. For the first 3 or so years it was either held in Cheyenne WY or Golden CO or in Pueblo CO.
Speaking of the new assembly hall, here is a picture when Mrs. Dazed went last year. It was the 1 st year it was opened and the last time, most likely, she will be going.

Now, I have to admit something here: If I believed in God, and if I attended a church, this is how I’d like it go. No golden treasures on display, and no loud rock & roll, no chanting in any language foreign or domestic, and no sitting on the floor on pillows getting muscle cramps in my calves.
You know if the WTBTS got a hold of this, they would proudly quote it in a Watchtower or Awake.
did you get baptized without being dedicated?.
why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.
why were you serving jehovah at all?
Whatever "vow" I made, was made under duress (i.e., I would be destroyed at Armageddon™ in the future and would be ostracised in the present if I didn't), and furthermore, was led to that decision by fraudulent information by well-intentioned, though equally misinformed, individuals.
I couldn't put it any better than that. Well said.
because it is on sale doesn,t mean it,s a saving, 5lbs of.
prunes is not a good deal.
wouldn,t it be more economocal.
oops... did i miss the point of the OP?

You are absolutely correct. Pruns are disgusting.
i'm so glad i have been able to be puttering around my yard, planting flowers, pulling weeds, drinking coffee while on the porch, instead of being locked in a stuffy kingdom hall, being bored to death, watching the clock and hoping nobody was going to be long-winded on the comments at the watchtower and we would end up overtime.
.
isn't it great to be able to have a leisurely sunday morning?.
We just got back from the park and shopping as we passed the hall where we would attend. I was thinking back as we passed how I remember feeling going to the meeting on such a beautiful day. I remember thinking how I hated Sundays because most of the day was ruined by the meeting. Our kids will not know the “joy” that is meeting attendance.
I love my Sundays now.
i have served 20 years as an elder, 5 years as an ms. was on the district committee in 2010, held various positions on the district , circuit, and rbc level.
probably been on more than 100 judicial committees and even an appeals committee.
was the coordinator in our congregation and deleted because adult child was df ( i kicked him out at the time of his wrongdoing, but that wasn't enough for thr brothers).
Wow. Welcome. Take a deep breath. It takes a while for everything to soak in. Good luck.
