Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
It is tragic how these young people are abused by their parents and the leaders in their church.
Trust me, I use the terms, “leaders and church” very loosely! They actually belong to a high demand, controlled religious movement.
Or in simpler terms, they are nothing more than a cult. Those at the top are raking in the cash selling their dangerous propaganda.
They are brainwashed to believe that they will go to hell if they walk away or disobey their parents. So very sad.
I completely understand.
I am glad that these sleazy organizations are being exposed for what they truly are.
Yep! It’s beyond unconscionable that these things happen.
Watched part of the worst documentary ever. 🙈🙉🙊
Yes, it is a disgrace that these situations exist. I am amazed that so many people become involved with following this type of leadership. Again, I use the word ‘leadership’ very loosely.
I suppose that either they are spiritually starving and fall for it or they they have lived very sheltered lives. However it happens, they are horribly deceived by people who have nothing more than greed in their hearts.
It’s fascinating how much control groups like this have over others. Once members of the congregation take the bait they become puppets and do whatever the leaders ask of them.
I feel most sorry for the children who are born into these groups. If and when they get out they need tons of therapy to heal.
Her third husband was 10 years younger and a Jewish doctor! She was Catholic so they had an interfaith wedding. He had his Rabbi and she had her priest.
I think she may be onto something here!!! 😊 It certainly seemed like she was happiest after marrying him. He appeared to be a great guy.
It’s a wonderful idea! I have a friend who visits her mom every week and calls her once a day at her NH.
Her mom has Alzheimer’s disease and my friend has concerns about her mom not recognizing her one day.
The head nurse at the facility asked the activities director if she could help the residents with Alzheimer’s disease connect with their families via telephone calls. She agreed to help. I’m quite sure that she would love to have others helping her out with the phone calls.
I bet your idea is well received by the facility. You’re very kind to offer your services to the residents and their families.
She normally would have been all over that post blaming the hired caregivers for an old woman not walking as well as some other situations . Seems like she’s been gone a couple of weeks
Still having internet problems, since my ISP can't see anything wrong remotely I've been doing everything I'm comfortable trying out on my end but no luck. I guess I should be grateful I can get on the web at all, but it's frustrating when so many sites don't work properly.
cw - I hate crunchy grass!!! Hope you get your internet problems sorted. What a pain!!!
way - I give in and do a good watering once in a while. From the sounds of it you have a very large grassed area. If I were to be in a house again (not likely) I would have a sprinkler system put in the lawn. No idea about burnt.
I am going to the kitchen to bake my favorite banana bread recipe! I let a few bananas get overripe so they are perfect for me to make my banana bread.
i am on my way to need's house for banana bread.
I am going to look up a recipe for banana bread that does not require baking powder.
I have the bananas, flour, butter, canned evaporated milk, baking soda, if that is needed.
What a good idea, after I finish watching church online.

I love REM's song by the same name. Lol
And for everyone who got much needed rain, that's good news. Florida of course has been getting plenty of rain now it's June.
i'll try send's AND need's banana bread. and anyone else making banana bread.
I will need that later in another recipe.
The banana bread is looking like a very simple and easy recipe.
It's been awhile since baking.
If I get some made, I will squish some through the internet for you, BOJ.
