I know that's a really sarcastic statement but I can't help finding joy in what happened last night.

There's a couple that left church last year for reasons too long to go into but fit right in with S/A.

Funny how when someone leaves church they are considered outcasts and shame on you if you are actually still friends with the people that left!

Anyway, this friend and I were painting a room in my home last night. I was up on a ladder when my phone rang so I told her to answer it. The call was for hubby so out of habit she said, "may I ask who's calling please?"It was pastor wanting to speak with hubby.

She said, "Oh, hi pastor this is so & so". He's in the shower right now but I'll have him call you back. The silence was deafining!

LOL..I almost fell off the ladder laughing so hard!

Hubby called him back and he said, "Oh...I see you have company". Why hubby felt the need to explain himself is beyond me but...whatever!

I got a great laugh and much satisfaction out of the deal!

Rotten to the core aren't I? :D

Dear Janice,
It may not be a joking matter but sometimes laughing really helps. My youngest son and I often joke about the cultfest we left. I still have loved ones left in that hell hole. After you are out you can see how totally ridiculous the SA is, and you wonder how could I have been so fooled. As the bible says laughter doeth good like a medicine. You are not rotten. :) Billie

LOL! This is great! I remember getting my pastor a few times like that before I left. He was easy to shock. One time I remember was that he was marrying a couple where the groom was 10 years younger than the bride. I was off to the side talking and he said something like, "Can you believe the groom is so much younger than the bride...tsk tsk". I replied with, "Oh THANK GOD! There's hope for me yet!". You see... the bride wasn't all that much older than me! HAHA. THe pastor looked at me frozen for 3 seconds... then turned and walked away... never said a word. The people on staff did that to him frequently though... I do admit. He was such an easy target.
