    Doughnuts at assemblies, before they took even that small pleasure away.
    And...
    ...and...

    ...well, I guess that's it!

    Xena:
    I'll be your friend, and you won't even have to work at it.
    Well, maybe a little!

    I miss lying to my mom about what us witness kids were doing. you know, we had a bonfire and roasted marshmellows
    when in reality, we had a bonfire and passed booze around, got horny and had sex.

    I miss going away w/ my mom to concerts, the beach, and everywhere else we'd go. Even just going to the mall w/ her.

    I miss the secret codes for identifing hot guys at the conventions.

    Don't miss the self righteous sob's who always criticized and made you feel about an inch tall. I could never do
    enough to make anyone happy. I was in fear of the other dubs not Jehovah.

    I miss how fun it was to spread gossip about all the trouble other kids got into to justify what we were doing. And,
    the coruption - a bunch of us got publicly reproved for a game of truth or dare, when we all admitted to oral sex, and
    one girl ratted. But, when a couple got busted for having an affair. (an elder cheated on his wife w/ a 17 yr old girl).
    They were both privately reproved, because no one else knew about it. yeah right!

    I miss waking up hungover and going door to door, hoping that I wouldn't run into the one night stand from the night
    before.

    I miss an elder, Mike. He has a great personality and beautiful, seductive eyes. I am so HOT for him!

    But, he's still "in," plus he's married (a minor detail).

    Well, atleast I still have the sexual fantasies ....gotta go!

    There are a lot of things I miss. Also a lot of things I don't.

    I miss the circuit assemblies...Abuquerque, NM; Yuba City, CA; & Santa Fe, NM. Especially Santa Fe, because the auditorium was close to the plaza there, quick getaways for Hagen-Daaz :)

    I miss concession stand work. Checking out the hotties. My buddies and I wagering which were still virgins and which were not, all of us too scared to find out.

    I do miss the frozen puddings at the district conventions. I miss seeing my first pro baseball game with my dad. The day before the convention started, we got tickets to see the Giants play the Expos at Candlestick Park.

    I miss, well not really, but those Texas sisters :) Amarillo district conventions. Especially Friday nights at the Big Texan, I think it's called. Huge steaks.

    I miss the "quick build" Kingdom Halls. Before the Society got involved and took all the fun out.

    I miss my friends, Kevin, Mike, Matt & Jay. We ran around those assemblies and quick builds like we owned them. In fact, we did, All five of us were elder's sons, with tons of dirt on each other.

    I don't miss the Saturday service. The Sunday meetings (being bored out of my skull), The only thing keeping me marginally aware is running the sound board.

    I don;t miss the Judicial Committees. I had 3 of those. 2 Private reproofs (both for smoking pot) and 1 Public (for getting way drunk at my graduation party). Wish I had known then that "I didn't inhale" would be a legit defense against pot use.

    If I can think of more, I'll post

    Seriously, I do miss some of the nice friends I had in my younger days, playing hearts and pinnocle on Saturday nights.

    I miss thinking I had the ultimate answer for everything.

    I miss NOT worrying about making a lot of money and amounting to anything in this life (the only one you get).
