And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Turkey. Then shalt thou count to three stalks of celery, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Oysters shalt thou not count, neither count thou rolls, excepting that thou then proceed to sourdough. Eggs are right out. Once the onions and herbs, being the flavor, be added, then stuffest thou thy Holy Turkey of Antioch and hurl towards thy guests, who, being hungry in my sight, shall devour it.

I have found that if I tell them I was a JW, and start explaining why I think it's garbage, they "put me on the list" and I don't have to deal with them anymore.
I used to feel that I had no more right to try to change their minds than they had to change mine, but that got old real fast when they kept coming. Sending bigger guns every time. One day a visiting CO came back with some kids for the second time on a Sunday morning, and I finally started spewing all my thoughts on the subject. He got pissed and pointed his finger at me and said "Ma'am, YOU HAVE NO HOPE!" I told him to get off my property before I called the cops. Never got bothered again. :-)

Huh, we always called stuffing, even if it was in the pan. I suppose dressing would be the correct term. My MIL calls it "Filling". She from Pennsylvania Dutch country.
I don't really measure when I cook, but my stuffing/dressing is yummy.
Cornbread, french bread, celery, leeks, onions, bit of sausage, apples, pecans, sometimes dried cranberries, chicken broth, herbs and seasonings.
Speaking of which, I need to get that cornbread in the oven!

Babies get shunned
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel inmy sister was recently disfellowshipped and she told me that she was eating in a restaurant yesterday when the elder that disfellowshipped her was seated at the table next to her.
of course they would not breathe a word to her.
but her son (4 years old) had kept saying hello over and over to the elder and his wife and they both refused to acknowledge him, smile of even say hello back.

This isn't even normal human behavior! They're so darn twisted with fear and confusion, they don't even have human responses anymore!!
