  Dissed by a Sister!

  i was running the cash till at the annual boy scout fundraiser yard sale yesterday, wearing my finest boy scout t-shirt and enjoying the blistering heat, when i saw a local family of witnesses browsing the merchandise.

  they studiously avoided looking at me, but eventually a bargain nightgown proved irresistable and the wife was forced to approach the cash table and ask about pricing.

  we avoid putting prices on each item because there is just too much stuff and we remind everyone that the money sends the kids to summer camp so the guilt kicks in and people pay more.

  JW uncle in hospital

  i just found out that my uncle, who is a staunch jw elder, has an aortic aneurism and is in critical condition.

  he's in his late 70s and he probably won't survive.

  he lives several hundred miles away, so i don't see myself making the trip for his funeral..

  just ron has received a couple of phone calls in the last few days from the rbc brother wanting him to come roof a kingdom hall.

  now, just ron hasn't been to a meeting since december 2011, and certainly hasn't got a current volunteer form on file.

  so i ask, are they desperate or just stupid?.

  Dear Abby gives some good advice

  dear abby: my boyfriend was raised in a family that didn't celebrate holidays, including birthdays.

  they converted to that religion when he was 10, and while he no longer identifies with that religion, he still doesn't recognize any celebrations.. i was raised with all the traditions surrounding the holidays and the family time that comes with it.

  i feel they are very important.

  1. if we have listened to herd, we will show it.. his demands oppress, and screw up our day.. it makes us unhappy to hear and to know it,.

  and well be stressed if we know and obey.. (chorus).

  2. this way of life, like a jail, is a sentence.

  the local boy scout council was notified by police that one of the executive leaders had purchased child porn.

  they fired him immediately, and the council has sent letters to parents informing them of the situation and advising them to report to the police if their child had any contact with the offender.
