Oh yeah and as for fading...it's GREAT!!! No one in my old cong knew or even seemed to care if I ever saw them out and about. THey just asked how the spanish bros and sisters were. I second SB's recommendation!

foreign language congregations
by SB ini was thinking this morning, that the biggest step towards me being mentally free from wt doctrine, was joining a foreign language congregation.
i did well w/the language, and even traveled to the country for about a year to pioneer.
but while out of the u.s., i did very little personal study, prayer, or reading of the wt.

I went to the spanish language cong. because the need was great. I learned the language pretty fast but as for personal study, there was none. I never went to any other countries. I would scan through the wt and find the answer to a question I thought I could pronounce and answered that one. Most meetings I didn't understand a thing and that was a well needed break from everything! There were so many new words that aren't used regularly it was tough to keep up, esp when we were studying the Daniel book!
I would say going to those cong was the first step to my way out.

That sounds like it would be fun..haven't seen it in any of the touristy info on the internet. Problem is my 17-month old will be going everywhere with us and she's in the process of being weaned from breastfeeding. If we went there...she'd probably think she died and gone to baby heaven! hahaha

Oh No...and right before Christmas. Did they give you any notice at all? Do you have something to fall back on? What a pain in the arse...unless you didn't like your job to begin with
Enjoy your reading....I just started reading the Harry Potter books myself. They're pretty good.

Nope never been there before...hell I haven't seen an ocean in probably 3+ years. I'm so excited. I used Priceline for the first time and got a pretty good deal. Now all I gotta do is go find our summer clothes again...

I don't have any good ideas for you to try, but I can commisurate with you. I go through phases of not being able to sleep and when I do I have crazy...insane dreams for the short time I'm out. I'm starting to think it's related to stress or overthinking about my life or problems in it. Why can't we all just live in paradise
Oh- I do have one remedy....2 jack and cokes make me veerrrry sleepy. Good luck!

Latino Dancing!
by zagor ini've started going to dance classes four weeks ago but had to skip two.
tonight i went again.
i thought it will be a pain in butt to get back into routine, in fact didn't even feel like going, was feeling kinda low on fuel for few reasons but went anyway.. i've got really great couple of dance instructors.

I took a few swing dancing lessons when I was a dub. It was THE thing for all the younglings for about 2 years. We went to *gasp* clubs downtown to hone our arts.
It was alot of fun. I would love to take some sort of dance classes again. It's one thing I've always loved to do!
