I'll be there. I've already got my deposit in and I'll book my airplane flight in September. I went in 1994 and 1997 and I can't wait to see everyone there.

I'd like for him to stop being such an idiot.
A one-way airplane ticket out of the White House would suit me. But then he'd probably just come back to Texas...ugh

That joke reminds me of an old Aggie joke:
Did you hear about the Aggie who thought Taco Bell was the Mexican Phone Company?
Silly joke, always made me laugh...
Guess you could say I am easily amused!

Tracts were not offered at this funeral, although emotions were so high for other reasons I won't mention here, I don't think it would have made any difference. I forewarned all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. that what would they be hearing would be contrary to their traditional beliefs.
You know what my aunt said to me one time about the stance of them not celebrating birthdays? "That's so stupid, that's like saying because someone shit on a certain day so then you can't celebrate anything." That's a verbatum quote, four letter word and all. I love my family, but certain members have huge potty mouths!

Do you believe in ghosts????
by Ghosthunter inwondering if anyone out there believes in the paranormal?
if so, do you hold on to the jw belief that they are "demons" or do you think that there is a possibility that there may be ghosts, spirts, etc.
that are wandering our earth looking to contact the living?

In May my beloved grandmother passed away at the age of 87. It was a long struggle for her, and I thought I was dealing with her death pretty well. Well yesterday, I went to my JW parents for a visit (had not been there in several months.) The first thing Mom wanted me to do was to look in my grandmother's personal possessions to see if was there anything I wanted. I reluctantly agreed. (It seems Mom has the obsessive desire to get rid of everything quickly...don't know if it's anti-clutter crazy or she's just tired of looking at all her stuff, although all of it is packed in boxes and put in closets.) Mom pulls out all of the funeral things to show me cards and such and I am looking through all her things and I see a polaroid snapshot of MY GRANDMOTHER IN HER COFFIN. I had seen a woman taking photographs of my grandmother (her former aide that came to the house everyday), but I was in another part of the funeral home and didn't get to her until after she had done it. It seems she gave my mother a photo. I asked my mother about this, she said that it didn't bother her. "Lots of people do that at funerals." I am trying to understand all of this. My grandmother was never a Witness, however Dad gave her eulogy and played that horrible JW long "Life without end at last" or some stupid title. It just brought back all those feelings about dealing with that JW garbage. Everyone who had the nerve to tell me said that they tuned my father out (me included.) My father kept going from Scripture to Scripture to try and prove his theology to the non JW's in attendance (which was everyone.)
My point is this, when the JW's are in charge of something, they are going to make sure it's done their way and no other way. While I knew this, all this stuff with my grandmother and her funeral brought it back to light.
I couldn't sleep last night. I kept thinking of my grandmother's remains being photographed.
I am better now. Thanks for listening.

I have worked in many male dominated industries through the years. I guess I became sort of a feminist the time years ago when I was working for a what I thought was a nice man in the incentive promotions industry. Normally, there were more of us in the office, but that day it was just us two. I told him I was stepping out for just a moment to use the facilities. When I came back, there was this arrogant look on my face. "I don't answer phones, that's a woman's job." I snapped back, "what do you do at home and your wife's not there, do you just let the phone ring?" He just sort of looked at me stone face and walked out. Needless to say, I didn't work there very long.
