  Are YOU Basically The Same Person Now As When You Were A Witness?

  by minimus in

  they say "the truth" changes people from nasty, wicked people to meek, honest hearted "ones".

  now that you're out of "the truth", are you back to your old ways??

  did "the truth" ever really change you??

  I was a born-in, but I've changed SO much since I became an adult and left....for the better! I was shy and timid as a Dub, never speaking up, and deferring to my Father, the "head of the family." Therefore, I learned late how to make decisions and to voice my opinions. It took awhile for my personality to emerge, because I always stayed in the background and didn't realize I had opinions!

  Now, I'm assertive about my needs and opinions, and don't let anyone push me around. If I don't like something, or want to go somewhere, I can say so. I am physically much healthier, and mentally too! The only one I try to please, is my husband, and he's happy if I'm happy. No persnickety body of elders and all the snippy wives, and cliquish kids. Who needs it?

  I am still compassionate, and honest, nd I think I'm a pretty decent, moral person. Yes, you can be all those things, and not attend the Kinkdumb Hall, who'd have thought?

  Talk about fishy!

  by Sparkplug in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am trying to keep my diet healthy seeing i was in the hospital and had to eat light and also cleanse my system for that dang surgery.

  so tonight, seeing i could get nobody to do anything more than just to drive me to the store, i decided to have fish.

  so i made a salad from a cut mix of radishes and carrots, snap peas and green types.

  You will just feel better and better, with more energy than you had in a long time. It was the best thing I ever did! Without that monthly energy sap, you'll feel so good, and if you gradually add exercise every day, you won't put on weight. I did have a problem with tiring easily when I first went back to work. Don't go back too soon. I recommend the Hystersisters website, for good message boards and stories and advice. You're doing great!

  Since you almost feel like you're starting a new life, it's a logical time to start eating healthier too. Good for you!

  Do you remember giving talks?

  by klydia in

  2. friends

  i'm trying to remember the process for giving a talk.

  i remember getting a slip with a topic on it, but what else was on that slip?

  did it tell you what scriptures you should cite, or what book the talk was based on?

  I remember, arriving at the Hall, waiting for Sister Nevergivesmethetimeofday, will she show up, or do I have to get Mom again? Heart thumping as you're up next, trying to arrange your skirt modestly as you take your seat on the metal folding chair. The microphone squawks and screeches if you get too close, embarassing. Sister Toosnootytorehearse jumps way ahead on her lines and you try to save the day.

  Nerve racking, is putting it mildly, and then the pressure to do an excellent job, just because you're elder's family. Ugh! I finally got so stressed out, I quit. My Dad found out about it from the school overseer. i promised I'd just take a break and come back. Still on break, 20 years later, haha!

  oh, god, people, i knew what it was as soon as i chomped down on it.

  yep, there's no mistaking that hunk of filling when you chew on it.

  does anyone else dread going to the dentist?

  shelly, they're having me take prescription Halcion tablets to make me feel drowsy and warm and fuzzy before the appointment. I'll let you know if it works for a big crybaby like me. Maybe it could help you get through it, too.

  XU, i've got Delta Dental thru Kaiser Permanente, and they pay 50 to 80 percent, not too bad. But still a lot of money before (gasp) Christmas!

  Aw, have a heart, LHG! The filling is about 20 years old, and a chunk cracked and came out. No, it's really not pain I fear, because I've never had a bad experience with that. I just don't like choking on the water and the hose, and the smell, and squirming in the chair for 2 hours. Anyway, a lady at work steered me to a sweet woman dentist that her daughter works with, so I went today for an x-ray. I'm lucky to be getting away with a crown and no root canal. When I return in 2 weeks, I'll take a couple of sedative tablets, and they assure me I won't care about a thing!

  Except the bill maybe. $1350, $570 of which is my share to pay.

  But, yes, I should go for preventive visits. I know I'm not alone here, in putting those off!
