Huxley, Mary, and Nathan Natas:
Thanx for the best laugh of my vacation so far. Will print this out and share with my siblings when I see them this week. We are all escapees.
I especially needed a laugh. Fresh off of recent shunning by one of my baby bible students who unfortunately I trained too well. I would go into detail, however, I am paranoid and believe they monitor this sight. (I have also had 3 cups of some good home made Java which heightens the paranoia).
Haven't gone in over a year to anything, not a meeting, not a memorial. Quit conventions two or three years ago. The last one we attended any part of was the one where you could only get a badge if you were in "good standing".
SloBoy filled out our badges: He was Ura Proved and I was Ima Proved. We had people laboring over the pronunciation and thinking we were from the Ukraine. Brothers from our hall, just looked puzzled.
We sat next to a rude fellow during the vs by vs of Hosea where they were spitting on and condemning christendom, I almost came out of my seat and was saying things out loud like, "Can't they see this is them!?" I was shaking my head and crying and the prude next to us asked SloBoy to have me quiet down. We left. I never want to go again. Finally learning to breath after 4 decades.
Saw this the other day, my new mantra of the month: You will never become a loving person through a process of hating.
So glad you are all here. You lighten and brighten my way.
