  if you had to be born into a religious family and stuck in it 'till you finally broke free, would you rather it be mormon or jw?

  I'm glad I am who I am, and I don't think that mormonism would have demanded that I break free or die...

  I'm glad for my freedom...

  the next day was going to be tough.

  i had to do kind of a portfolio check session with the illustrators and work on some photo retouching for an up coming italian awake magazine and work with someone from the graphics department on the miniaturization issue.

  as i walked around a little bit i noticed a large hell scanner sitting in a room with a plastic tarp over it.

  don't know if this was posted or not but after reading this story the moral is that we should always have a chaperone with us wherever we go!

  Strange days at my old hall. please read

  2. friends

  i havent said too much here recently, mainly due to a severe lack of anything to say !, however, tonight my old hall has had a special meeting with a talk by the head of the ireland branch.

  he is visiting for a week and afterwords all present will be having snacks and drinks, in the hall.. please tell me what is happening with the world when special saterday night meetings are held with refreshments.

  i think its because about 10 people have left recently and made no secret of their reasons, but still, its unheard of for this to happen.. any thoughts.

  My god,

  I've HEARD of this Mathews guy! His ability to bore and give long-winded prayers was legendary, being the subject of hushed conversations between my parents as they whispered after a few glasses of wine.

  What is The Zaniest Thing You've Ever Done?

  by Frannie Banannie in

  my most zany thing was back in 1970 when i lived in maryland....i was working for the pr.

  geo.

  and also had a part time job in the evening working for giant food in their payroll/personnel dept.....one evening, my boss at giant food in hyattsville, phoned me and told me that a coworker of his was going to come down to the office and that if i would provide him with transportation to where they were meeting, i could have the rest of the evening off and he would write in my time as though i'd worked the whole evening as usual....great!

  It gets crazy taking care of a kid sometimes. Don't fret yourself. A lifetime of good mothering or fathering is not ruined by one or two incidents of smacking.

  The zaniest thing I have ever done was one week I quit my job in Oklahoma and then drove clear across the country and back over the course of two weeks. I lived on my credit cards, went to Vegas and the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon and San Francisco - and slept in my car most nights and picked my next destination by flipping through the map when I woke up.

  Ah, those were the days...

  Yeah - what a load of tripe, I remember the reinstatement letter I wrote. I probably still have it somewhere. I'm so happy the elders laughed at me, although I found it humiliating at the time.

  Freedom is expensive. Strength takes courage, and courage takes faith. None of which the dubs possess in any great quantities.

  Depends on the woman. Don't creep her out with a mushy love poem or a diamond bracelet right off the bat. Pick something you like to do and see if she wants to go. If she's interested, she'll come garbage picking with you. If she isn't, then you don't want to waste time and money taking her to the Top of the Triangle.

  You want her to see what you are like, so take her to do something YOU like to do. Something unique, something fun, and something where she isn't threatened by your proximity.

  Then don't call for three days. Unless she calls, in which case you can talk to her. But it is important to have her wondering what happened to you - it makes them think more about you.

  Then invite her out to dinner.

  Then have wine.

  The rest is biology.

  I'll always feel a little happier every time it rains on Saturday morning and I can roll over, snuggle down, drink some wine, and go to sleep.

  It's like having almost starved to death. you always appreciate food a little more than the man who has never been hungry. Was it worth it? Not a question I can answer - but I do thank God every day now for a life free of the borg. It happened, is all I can say, and I'm determined to do something positive with it - like go back to sleep!
