Reasons You Shouldn't Go To Meetings

let's give some good reasons why meetings suck.

Rayvin

lol.. I quit wearing panties hose. If I go I try to remember to even wear undies..lol

I use to put makeup on .. do my hair and dress my best. The last time I went i think i even forgot to shave my legs and still went hoseless.

I wear an old dress that well.. now that I quit breastfeeding .. no longer shows cleavage.. and boring slip on shoes.

I don't go because its 2 hours of whispering to my kids " Shhh.. " " Stop it"... " no coloring in the bible" lol

The hard chairs hurt. The ongoing BS they spew. The fake Hi and handshakes or hugs you get.

You can't give the REAL answers to the questions during the WT and you can't ask questions back.

i've been fading for awhile--no one in my cong.

im paranoid of getting fat!!!

by tsunami_rid3r in

instead of thinking of ways not to get fat, what are some ways to get fat?

by the way, i run every morning, and if i cant run in the morning i run in the evening after workout.

and i workout sunday, tuesday, and thursday.. my roommate just got 2 pizzas and his girlfriend brought him a freaking cake.

Rayvin

I have read that its better to workout in the afternoon. -

I thought I liked really in shape guys but in reality I love a little meat on the bones. It makes them more cuddly. I feel like I need to work out but I wouldn't call myself fat. What are you considering FAT? Are you just scared of getting a little tummy or full out fat ankles and everything?

I am 5'9" and I wiegh 169 I have a tummy from the three kiddos that I have yet to work off. I used to wear size 3/4 and now wear 12 or Med. I still think I am pretty but that I just need to work out and eat better. But I don't beat up myself over the things I eat.. there is always tomorrow to do better. And they are right.. your metabolism is usually awesome till your late 20s and on. You don't need to be worried or Paranoid just yet.

The Stranger (JW) came by JUST NOW!!

by Rayvin in

i was checking outside about the trash to see if it had been taken out yet and left the door open so i could easily take the trash from inside , out.

as i was in the hall bathroom i hear the doorbell ring.

i peak around the corner wanting to pretend i am not here but alas i forgot to shut the front door.

Rayvin

well.. ya know.. Love thy neighbor.. love thyne own enemy... etc.. All you need is love. And unfortunatly I have been accused by more then you that I am too nice. I never knew when I was JW that it could be a 'bad' thing. Boy.. did I have A LOT to learn.

Thank you Old soul.. i will look into it. -- Get this. My own mother gave my # to a friend to help find someone in this congo that can help me with the kids so I can go to meetings.

I called her and asked her about it and she said.. "I had good intentions" (so for the 2nd time this week she has been told that the Road to HELL is paved with GOOD INTENTIONS. ) She said " i was just trying to get you help to go to the meetings" " mom, I don't need help , nor did I ask for any" I said " well you need help you just dont know it" UGH.

I told her the point of all this is she without permission gave my # out. Don't do it again.

" okay I promise if you promise to not celebrate holidays". What does that have to do with anything!! " i can't make that promise" i said. " Well then niether can I " - " mom there is a difference.. the phone issue is a personal issue between us.. holidays aren't." Then I went on a rant.. about pinatas..the whole if your area doesn't see them as pagen then its okay..etc.So if that is true then blowing b-day candles is okay.. and trees at xmas(christmas ).i regress..the point is dont give my personel info out.

My brother suggests giving moms ph # too the local mormans church. lol ((should I or shouldnt i??)
