  whats it all about?

  by andyg in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my mum used to be a jw, she was baptised after about 3 years and carried on for about another 2. she first started taking me to the meetings when i was about 8, and carried on week after week until she was disfellowshipped (she went a bit mad and left home, but that's by the by).

  the point is im 21 now and trying to make sense of the stuff i was brought up with for 5 years.

  if anyone could shed light on one or two things i'd be most grateful (and some of it i might have wrong anyway).. - before noah's flood, all animals were vegetarian.

  the songbook WAS updated.

  When I was young, the songbook had a Pepto-Bismol pink paperback cover. Then in the early to mid 80's, we got an update of the songbook with a brown hardback cover. Mostly new songs were added--took us forever to learn them. A lot of off-key humming for awhile. I also remember they changed the tune to the last song about paradise, but same words--I think they got sued for plaigerism. It really confused me when I was young, because the last song was always my favorite, and I would try and sing it the old way. The new tune never felt right.

  Edited to add: "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize."

  I got hooked on "Grey's Anatomy" in the middle of Season 2. I rented Season 1, so now I know the background, but my Blockbuster doesn't have Season 2, so I am still a little in the dark. (What happened to Christina's baby? Did Burke ever know?)

  I cannot miss "Medium," "Weeds," "CSI: Las Vegas" or "Two and a Half Men." I watch "Cold Case" pretty regularly. I am sure I will get some new "must sees" this season--my mom highly recommends "Men in Trees," so I will have to look into that.

  As a matter of fact, that was the first time I'd seen Kyle in anything since homefront.

  I loved Homefront, and my favorite character also was Jeff.

  Kyle Chandler was in "Early Edition" from 1996 to 2000. It was a pretty good show--my daughter and I enjoyed watching it.

  I miss "Touching Evil" (Jeffrey Donovan, gorgeous), "Moon over Miami," "Twin Peaks," "Dead Like Me," and "Kids in the Hall."

  i'm trying to come up with ideas for a halloween costume!

  the kids have already decided.

  my 4 yr old told my wife "don't let daddy be the cow this year, he was so silly..." so my cow costume from last year is out!.

  No fairies or princesses or Disney characters for my child:

  

  I'm so glad she has a sick sense of humor!

  Last year I got invited to a Halloween party, and I had no one to go with. Four of us (three women and a man) were going to go as Mormons...we women were going to wear bonnets and gingham, and have name tags, like, "Wife #2", and Rich was gonna wear an old-timey farmer outfit. But, a hurricane came through that weekend, so the party was cancelled. Thought it was a fun idea, though.

  No. Never did it, and didn't know anyone who did it, either. Seriously. I must have been in an extra-prude hall.

  it started out the same, ...cleaning floors, bathrooms, kitchen, ...even got the fridge cleaned out.. the household was humming.

  ran to the store to get dinner ingredients for grilling, special salad etc.. all was ok until the air went out for the 4th time this week.

  called the ac guy out, he showed up within an hour.

  You might want to invest in a little window air conditioning unit--and then just live out of the one room that it cools. It does help. I got a really small one for $72 at Home Depot.
