Spiritual Food at the Proper Time
by WTWizard inwhat i have noticed is that every time i wanted something in my life or tried to go for it, a washtowel or asleep would come out that would explicitly prohibit it.
it is right here on this board.
as i am single, with no prospects, and one of the hounders' family has shown strong interest in hosting me, i have more to worry about being recaptured than about getting disfellowshipped (and, since he is the lead hounder, if i write a disassociation letter, there is as good a chance that he will just throw it out and recapture me instead of writing up the s-77 form and sending it in the special blue envelope).
