Yea I remember that Chaperone Thing. And it sucked big time. But we figgure out ways around it. he he. And no one caught on. I fuggured that if we kept things clean in God's eyes, that should be all that mattered. But I remeber right after we was married, I mean that very night. We stopped a quick stop/gas station, to get so refreshments on the way home. We was doing the newly wedd thing of kissing in the car (necking), this sister walked by and gasped. She left very quickly. About a week later I ran into her, and she said, "I saw you in the car, and I am going to report you". I laugh at her and said go ahead. You should have seen the look on her face when the elder she reported us to. By the way that very elder was the one that married us. I just loved how the JW's are SO quick to judge. This time it back fired.

Anyone Remember The Chaperone Thing?
by Englishman inback when i was a lusty young lad of 17, a certain sister caught my eye - i swear that she could make her eyelashes beckon - and i duly decided to pay court to said sister.. however, it was not to be so simple.
round about that time, it would have been mid-60's, the wtbts were having a real downer on anyone who wore a short skirt (not me), danced the twist or grew their hair (me) over their ears.. but, the worse thing was still to come.
folks, i am talking about chaperoning!

I was reading about how just before Halloween, kids will do stuff, such as throwing eggs at the cars, and all that other stuff. It reminded me of a couple of things that happen in my youth. The first story I did not do. When I was a JW, one of my jobs was to clean a bank. I had totally forgot it was Halloween night. Every so often the bank would shread alot of paper. It would litterly fill over 20 garbage bags. So this night, I also had to take out the trash, because the next morning was trash day for the bank. All was well, or so I thought. Early the next morning, I got up (I was pioneering at the time), and looked out side there was shreaded paper all over town. I thought, no it could not be. But sure enough, some body had found the trash that I had taken out. There was shreaded paper all over town, but the bank's parking lot look like it was carpeted with shreaded paper. So I had to get it all cleaned up (just on the bank's property) before they opened for busnesses. Took me 3 hours to get it cleaned up.
Now to the pranks I did as a child. I live out in the country, and across our yard was a field of cows. When July 4 would roll around I would shoot bottle rockets at them. I remember I accidently got one rocket just a little to low, and one hit a bull in the butt. HE HE HE I know I was bad, but I was having fun.

Sifting......hmmmmm....When I think about baking and sifting the flour, is it not the good flour that comes out. And the bulky stuff that stay inside the sifter. Just something to think about.

Tammie
I'm sorry to hear about your child. I have two young boys. And I thank God that I never had to deal with any thing, such as the blood issue when I was a JW. Because at the time, I probley would have done what the org told me to do.

some fall photos
by crittersitter inwanted to share some fall pix...a few days ago i took these...now the leaves are gone..... .

I like those photos. Here in Kansas the trees are also turning very pretty colors. In my front yard, though I have a walnut tree. And this year it produced ALOT. So I have been raking up walnut for the past few weeks. My husband says that I am waisting my time. But he did not see what I saw. I have a 3 year old who like to eat the green part. YUCK. A while back I noticed that when the green part turns black, it gets these worms. So I told my husband that, and he still said that I was waisting my time raking up all them walnuts. He said because more will drop. So I told him, then I guess it is a waist of my time to clean the house, do the laundry, do the laundry. Because they would just get messed up again. He said I see your point. lol

So Will This Be Your First Christmas?
by Englishman infunny how the prospect of christmas takes me back to my pre-dub days as a 7 year old.
christmas eve was spent making my present request list, duly guided by both my parents as to what to ask for.
once completed, the coal fire was stoked up and the precious list was allowed to be carried up the chimney where waiting elves promptly delivered my requests to santa.

Yes this will be my first christmas. YEA. I have started already by putting up some of the outdoor lights. I want to do it good, and I don't want to deal with the very cold air. But I do plan on making it a BIG deal this year. In two weeks my husband and I are buying an artifical prelited tree. We are really looking forward to it.

I guess the most HATEFUL thing that was said to me when I was a JW. My husband had committed adultry with the next door woman, (I was pregnate with our second child at the time). I went to my mom and talked to her about it. This is what she told me to do. "Since you are the chirstan here, you need to go over and talk with that other woman, to take the bad light off of Jehovah's orgization." I never done that, because I wanted to kill that neiborly woman.

Heck, I never tried to hid the fact that I was bord. Use to embaris my mom to no ends. But I would konk out right during the meeting. Some times I would get smacked on the back of my head. But I remeber this one time, after I was married and pregnant with my first child. My husband and I was sitting by my mom and sisters at a district convention (6 months pregnant). I would fall asleep during the convention. My mom would try to get my husband to wake me up. And being the good guy at the time would not wake me up. So my mom would try, and he told her to back off. He said, "Don't you dare wake her up, she is quiet, and she needs her rest."
