Maxwell Dog and Pony Show - Fall 2014

[twin2]

Well blessed be Uriah made it to Tenn without breaking down!

 

They tried something new this time

 

 

Quote

This was our first evening Energize! conference, and I was surprised by the great turnout for the 5pm round-table sessions. They are bonus sessions because we know some families can’t make it to those with the dad’s work schedule.

 

Sadly poor Sarah can not even comprehend that families may not be able to make the 5PM sessions due to Mom's work schedule or the children's extra-circular activities schedule. No, the only possible reason has to be Dad's work schedule.

 

PS: Steve, there is a typo in last sentence, should read "There are".

No, Sarah really does mean that the 'round table' sessions are extras and not actually part of the real show.

I'm not sure how they are different though. Maxwells being Maxwells, they probably do something super informal and f*n thought like allowing the audience to not have to sign In first, or maybe they're just giving the audience permission to slack off for that bit. (Because heaven forbid someone might walk out between sessions.)

I wonder if anyone has walked out during.

I think it would be like that Simpsons episode where they join that cult.

Spotlight on the person. "You're free to leave, but would you mind telling us why?" Person sits back down.

I wonder the same thing.

Steve: Come to New York. Lots of Godless heathens here waiting to hear about HELL.

I dare you.

Huh, well then the sentence makes even less sense then it did before.

Thinking she needs to qualify what those are then. Maybe she needs to re-think that writing session she runs.

One thing that drives me crazy is that Sarah always says Dad. In the most recent post it was about the dad's work schedule and she always says "Dad and Mom". Does she ever say my mother and father? Whennever I refer to my parents to people that do not know them I never call them Mom and Dad but my parent or my mother or my father. It seems so juvenile to me

A few years ago, they actually drove through NYC on their way down south. It was a very big deal. They had to pray or the best route. :doh:

I don't say mother or father. Some times i say Parents but rarely as I'm usually talking about one or the other. So I'll say my mom or my dad. I don't think I ever really hear people say my mother or my father.

Well, anyone who has to drive on I-95 does plenty of praying.

[trailmix2014]

I still say mom and dad. And daddy. He'll forever be my sweet daddy. :cry2:

[Odd1Out]

Mother and Father is way too formal for my family.

I still say Mom/Dad, my mom/my dad, and I'm old enough that both of them have died of natural causes. Maybe it's an American usage uncommon in other English speaking countries? It's not unusual here.

[church_of_dog]

I find that it seems to correlate with who I am speaking to. If I'm speaking to friends then I generally refer to "my mom" or "my dad" but if I'm speaking to people of my parents' generation and/or who I'm more formal with in general, I'm more inclined to refer to "my mother" and "my father". So I guess it's based on whether I think they (the listener) prefers the more formal/respectful language or the more casual/personal language.

I find it interesting that Sarah ALWAYS writes Dad and Mom, never Mom and Dad. Have to give Steve his trivial patriarchal dues at all times......

I noticed that too. Also when they had Christopher wedding program, the Maxwell's were listed first. All the weddings that I have been to the bride's family were listed first.

Not to mention that Hussey wearing a head covering which pertaineth to a man! This guy in the Bermuda shorts has shaved legs, no less? That would tell me that he either is a drag queen, or plays football (tapes his legs). Organized sports, what a shame. Steve, you're letting just any riffraff into your talks, and it doesn't look as though you're having much effect on them and their evil ways!

Like hell.

Because we're all going there when we die.

Now that the reversal sons are starting to marry I wonder how long the dog and pony show will go on?

Sarah mentioned again how much they miss Joseph, so it kind of makes you wonder.

I also wonder if the married sons and their families will get "a word from the Lord" that they should be writing books and do traveling shows?

I wonder if they'll start to include the 'extended' family :roll: in the main tours. Do the guys have actual jobs that would prevent them from going on the road, or just work for Steve through 1Ton, etc.?
