i got an email today from my cousin. it must suck to not be able to think outside the box:
she sends:
I don't get it. The more I think I know you, I realize I don't. I just took the time to read your blog today. Considering I just got in from S.C. yesterday and it's time that I catch up with my mail.
I was told that your Dad was up this way visiting your grandmother. That's on my list of things to do soon.
Very interesting article you wrote. I never knew how strange you really are until I read your blog.
Chat with you later: Stop thinking so MUCH!
my reply:
please don't EVER read my blog again. thanks.
some nerve. i hardly even talk to her. whatevs. and i bet she didn't even click on the ads to help a sista out. *psht* but for all your congratulators, thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks.
moving on. since i didn't get to go home this weekend, i sent a text to my friend lalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaah that i can go to church with her. she had invited me before and i thought it'd be great to visit a new one for a change. when we pulled in to the kingdom hall instantly i was like oh no, oh no, ohmygah . . . but i'm not, but i'm not, but i'm not * wait, why am i trippin' (this all happened in my head for like 3 seconds. i don't even think she noticed. i kept my cool).
turned out that church was wonderful. it was my first time visiting a kingdom hall (obviously). loved it! everyone was so welcoming and the lesson was great (shout out to park road congregation). for sure the JWs know the bible. it sucks that they seem to get such a bad rap for the first-thing-saturday-morning door knocking because i can honestly say that it's the most heartfelt welcome that i've ever received as a visitor.
thinking back . . . there was no collection plate either. hmm, very interesting. wonder how they do that.
i had it rough today though. stupid crap tried to knock me out of my element but negativity can't hold me down right now - i got laundry to do.
i love you

i guess your cousin doesn't know the difference b/w strange & creative...........her loss...........
they're volantary and anonymous collections amongst the brothers and sister and visitors if they like. theirs a box for that congregation's expenses in particular,theirs a box for world wide projects and theirs a box for any amount you wanna give for the literature. if there is left over money from expenses in the congregation for the month and another congregations needs it say in...argentina, they send it over there to help and viceversa where its needed. the money collected also helps for elderly and disabled brothers and sister's expenses that cant take care of themselves,for lack of family,transportation or medical expenses. its all voluntary and its all anonymous. thanks for coming with me. it meant a lot :)
there's...
I totally agree with Sara. There is a difference between strange and creative, or strange and artistic, or strange and innovative. B/c that is what you are: different, artistic, and innovative. That is what makes you so LOVABLE and MAGNETIC! Tell your cousin to go suck on a lemon since she wants to be a sour puss.
I am very impressed with LaLa's comment about the collection procedures at her church. Interesting. Very.
