  hi friends,.

  it's been awhile since i've been talkative.

  Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?

  ok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.

  objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

  Had a wonderful visit with Mr and Mrs Flipper Sat.

  i haven't posted much lately because i got a new job at the end of nov. and it's taken much of my time and mental energy.

  i still read though and care for you all very much so i thought i should let you know about the meet-up i had yesterday with mr and mrs flipper.. hubby got a call the day before from flipper saying he and his wife were going to visit his mother (who is in a rest home in my town) and would we like to meet up for coffee?

  hubby couldn't make it but i was delighted to accept.. we picked a burger place not far from the rest home and where i knew jdubs don't usually hang out on saturdays.

  Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?

  a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.

  break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.

  the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

  about a week ago my adult daughter called me crying.

  Kingdom Hall vs. Crack house...?

  1. social
  2. humour

  ok, this is our situation as of late: jw elderly mil needs to move in with us or go to an expensive assisted living arrangement.

  although i would rather stick a fork in my eye than live with her, assisted living would bankrupt us.

  i know because we've already been through it with my mom.
