  so thats what it feels like.. i am not df'ed or da'ed, ... i have just stopped going to meetings.

  my wife is trying to be as active as she can.. so all morning i am out of my regular routine.

  late getting out of bed and late about everything today.. so i leave the house, and before getting to the office, i decide to stop at the mall for a quick, maybe 15 min, walk.. as soon as i get inside, taking my coat off, here is the elder who did everything he could in his power to get me out...and lied...and added to gossip that ran me outta there.. he and his wife spot me .. and turn there heads away and continue on their walk, .. eyes fixed on some thing away from me.. so thats what it feels like.........now i know.

  The last couple years I was a witness I didn't want to direct anyone to the "organization" but I still believed the bible. I would simply try and get into bible discussions and encourage bible reading. Heck, I even remember my Dad for a long time use to go to the door and simply say, "I am just here encouraging bible reading". I thought at the time that was quite a cop out but perhaps he was having doubts himself then. Now, I am such a bad!$% I couldn't dream of even going to the door and saying anything about the bible. I might encourage voting Democrat though.

  I don't catch the reference. ; I suppose I am literarily challenged.

  No, Leo, you are just too cool for this joke.

  If H. floresiensis is in fact a new species, it's one that existed until 12,000 years ago—

  But everybody knows that Jehovah created the earth some 6000 years ago!

  I am curious as to how Creationists would explain these findings. Perhaps Jehovah created these "Hobbits" for a specific purpose (like dinosaurs) and when his purpose was finished he had them executed with a deluge of water?

  too stupid for words

  ok this is one for the books, my wife's great grandmother who is a miraculous 94 year old cervical and ovarian cancer survivor and a 87 year old man from the hall were just counselled on the need for a chaperon!

  it seems someone was disturbed that the two were alone in her appartment!

  she is practically housebound and his visits to shoot the breeze and talk about the old times were the highlight of her week.

  Hey Will, Sorry to hear this. I remember your wife's great grandmother as she was in the congregation I grew up in. Very sweet lady. I would be curious to know who the man friend is. I also wonder who the elders were involved...hmmm....perhaps my Dad? In any case, this really pisses me off. And to think, I at one time thought those elders were so wonderful. Of course, they are just following the society's lead. Geez, the stupidity. Bunch of ***holes I say!
