I made a U turn at the Kingdom Hall parking lot during a meeting
by JH ini do that once in a while..... there weren't many cars at the meeting sunday.
the things you can notice while going in the parking lot...... first of all, the first cars parked are those who get there first, and yes the elders came in first place.....then who gets to the kingdom hall the last.....like usual, the inactive and those who were disfellowshipped a couple of times, like the last car that was parked there at the very end.
i'm still surprised that they went to the meeting.

I find sometimes on how people type the words is not how it comes out in language or spoken works.
True what they may actually type is the way that they feel but it may just come out all wrong or deliberate, or even those who have little knowlegde of how you type things like when you use capitol letters it means shouting etc etc.
Anyway thats my opinion, i guess you can just ingnore what they are saying.

I love having time to myself living in a busy household can be fun but i crave for the time to be alone.
There a too some days where our phone doesnt ring ( our biz number is our home number).
I think to my mum who now after having 31 years having a houseful and a job now copes ver the last 12 months of being by herslf with her animals in the middle of no where, i wonder if she gets any phone calls, i know the JW have been visiting here, this makes me cringe, and i know she just went to the memorial for the first time in MANY years, so i guess she is doing this for the socialisation. I also know she has been going back to meetings again this again my break her lonliness.
I try and include her in any activities that we may do but there comes a point where she needs to get out on her own and for us the same. I try and ring her a few times a week.
So i guess its how you make the use of it all.
For me i relish it but for others they cannot handle being alone thus tend to be lonely.

I would be in an unhappy marriage to some JW brother.
If we both hadn't decided it wasn't for us, or i may just have followed along being the yes person.
but i am very head strong so i don't know if i could be the submissive wife.

It really only occured to me as when i got older and i realised what i did miss out on. Being born into the religion and having to give up so much.
It took away my family, knowing that my dad was into it more than we all were not giving the support to my mum when she needed it instead going to the meetings and field service.
It was embarrassing at school having to sit out for many different things, not giving out xmas cards, or birthday cards, not being involved in after school activities, not able to have friends and if you did contact had to be limited.
I'm glad that i have the opportunity to give my children a better way in life, there are good people out there and they are not JW, heck even they are better than the JW families that i grew up with.
Now it has robbed my of contact with my dad and my brother who have listen to the holier than thou people who tell you who you can associate with.
I guess its there loss and one day they wil realise that.

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

Hi Co Co,
My day started well and then it has dawned on me that i have so much catching up to do, as i have been away from home for 5 weeks leaving hubby and daughter at home i have a lot of cleaning up to do and a mountain of bookwork to catch up on (we have our own business).
Today is my mums birthday and i gave her a ring not to say happy birthday but just to say hi and how are things, but i wanted so much to say it.
The reflection that it will be my birthday tomorrow and all that i promised to do before i turned 30 has not come about so this being my 31st birthday i already had put things in their places and now working on a new me and i am slowly getting there.
So co co life is well and i hope everyone is having a great day if not chin up there is tomorrow!

I swapped the Nirvana nevermind album for the baby animals (aussie band) album mainly for the baby swimming nude on the front cover.
But i threw out in my very breif 'in' stage a lot of newspaper clippings and articles and posters of Metallica, i so regret it now as a lot of it is VERY collectable, i swore i would never do that again.
So now i am the proud owner of MANY Metallica memoriabilia and their albums.
I remember there was a talk about the new music that kids were listening to and then they played some golden oldies like big spender and a few others and then pointed out the meaning of that song. So then they could see that there music was just as bad as what we was listening too. I guess there was a few cassette boxes and album less in a lot of households.
