Today I went to the Doctor with Barbie Doll.
by PEC inin the waiting area, there were two awake trashazines, i promptly deposited them in the nearest trash can.
there are patients in the waiting area, so i couldn't shred them, without making a seen.. last time we were there, there was an awake in the lab waiting area.
it's very important; that, if you see any of this trash, laying around anywhere, deposit it in the nearest trash can.

Counseled by elders for body odor
by rebel8 init's amazing how the congregation i was in promoted passive-aggressive behavior.
whenever you saw someone behaving inappropriately, you were supposed to run to the elders to tattle.
in some cases these were things that were none of our business or should have been handled privately.. there was a pioneertm who was having personal problems of some sort.

What do you think about this letter to the JC???
by tsar_robles inhi guys and gals... you've probably read my earlier post regarding the prodigal son question and how the jc sent me packing... well, after talking with a good friend of mine i decided to move a new cong.
where the elders have known me for many years and actually appreciate me as a person... at first i was planning on handing this letter in person so i went but their meeting time had changed so i called one of the elders in my reinstatement jc and asked him for the meeting days but he said 'it would be better if i mailed it' to which i replied 'do you just not want me around your congregation, is that it?
he said again it would just be better to mail it again and left it at that.
