Being a disagreeable sort who always had to have his way, he turned our formerly kick ass library room into a sunday worship room, complete with homemade pulpit. Dad sat on a highchair behind the pulpit so he could look down at the family and bark his version of the Bible text at the family.<br /><br />Seems funny, doesn't it? Try living it. It was hell.<br /><br />As soon as I graduated high school, I enlisted into the slightly less insane USAF. At least there I had the freedom of religion.Neal Snownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-11419516132549441952009-08-10T12:35:23.602-07:002009-08-10T12:35:23.602-07:00I can't get last night's episode of True B...I can't get last night's episode of <i>True Blood</i> out of my head. <br /><br />This basement isn't helping any.mudslickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627381080606397448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-22602050555756790882009-08-10T11:33:49.822-07:002009-08-10T11:33:49.822-07:00if you look at all the pictures, they have the cha...if you look at all the pictures, they have the chapel revamped into a "Recreation Room" its the same room only redone, so they staged it to your liking...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-29932272101680400282009-08-10T07:16:18.161-07:002009-08-10T07:16:18.161-07:00This, it should be noted, is Colorado.

Really. <br /><br />At my husband's company they had to fire the head of HR years ago, because he had formed a church in his basement, and was having the head of charitable endeavors regularly cut checks to his church without mentioning that it was the Church of This Dude's Basement. <br /><br />Also, since he was the head of HR, he'd managed to have all of his deacons hired as in management positions. <br /><br />And that? Is not even his house. <br /><br />Cute house, really, except for how there's a cult in the basement.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-31043176069390361092009-08-08T11:46:29.322-07:002009-08-08T11:46:29.322-07:00so they have 2 master bathrooms (I'm impressed...so they have 2 master bathrooms (I'm impressed!) and I think they changed their chapel into a "recreational room" in the later photos...hamburkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953405992631372956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-34199386497638931382009-08-08T10:25:41.815-07:002009-08-08T10:25:41.815-07:00This is in the same category as the one with the s...This is in the same category as the one with the stage and pole in the basement.
