Since Leaving The "Truth" Have You Been Naughty or Nice?

i was raised in it.

for the most part i was an exemplary jw.

i'm a very social fun loving person.

I survived a 3 minute open mic

at a local comedy club.

it was something that i always wanted to do!!

two of my co-workers came to witness my performance.

Big Tex: Oh I agree! The first hurdle is the biggest, now the real learning begins. I have no illusions of grandeur. Like I said, I am doing this for myself. If I can connect with an audience and invoke some personal feeling that leads to laughter, then I have accomplished my goal. Sometimes the most interesting journies in life result in the most unexpected rewards.

OMG replies. Big Tex: I was crude but it didn't include animals. I thought about the Texas crowd before going on stage. I think that most of the people there were under 35. Chickpea: No obvious jitters on the platform ( oops stage). The comedy club overseer gave me a G for timing. Dissed: I thought about just doing that; trying to hook up with comics who perhaps needed material. I would like to hang out with some of them and feel out how they come up with ideas. OM: Blondie's support gives me the freedom to spread those comic wings. Jamiebowers: My coworkers have already been asking when I am going to go again. Some of my female friends want to come to the next one that I can get into. This is part of the marketing plan for the club I am sure. The club was packed, over 100 people. There were about 30 comics scheduled in 2 1 1/2 hour segments. My sole intent in doing this was to satisfy an urge that has been inside of me for over 20 years. If only 1 person laughed; that would be enough. OTWO: That's funny; I think that 1/2 of the comics in the first segment were from Chicago. IF I ever do this enough so that I am going to be given the privilege of more time; then maybe I could see the driving up from Chicago. Thanks for the support. It's hard to explain my 3 minute bit. Let's just say that the subject dealt with a serious male health issue.

at a local comedy club. It was something that I always wanted to do!! Two of my co-workers came to witness my performance. I actually got some real laughs (not just the polite ones) and I did not go over the time limit and did not freeze or soil my undergarments while performing. The whole scene was a lot of fun. When I left at intermission (early morning at work); a few of the comedians told me that I did really good for the 1st time.

What Things Were YOU Counseled For?

elders love to counsel people.

it feeds their ego.

over the years, you must've been counseled on different things.. when i was almost of age to become a ms, an elder counseled me for my "lack of seriousness".

Irreverent

Counseled for not keeping my Christian wife in proper submission.

I Have A New Grandson But He's Very Sick :(

he was born yesterday with many complications including breathing problems, possible lung underdevelpment, anemia and body temperature issues.

the poor little guy was hooked up to a breathing tube and tons of monitors.

because the hospitals couldn't handle some of the problems, they sent him and my daughter to the best hospital in boston last night.

I was a 28 week preemie born in 1955. I spent 2 months in and out of an incubator at one of the first preemie facilities in our area. I hope that your grandson pulls through this and can live a happy life. My thoughts are with you.
