Can someone explain to me what this is all about.
To those of you who dont know me, I starting fading a year ago now, cant believe just how quick that has gone. Well I separated from my husband, met somebody else, who I have been living for a few months now. We are expecting our first child next year which is great. Life is pretty good..in fact its brilliant.
My parents have been suprisingly good, and are still talking to me. Although to be honest I put this down to the fact that I have two other children that I know they dont want to lose contact with. When I was disfellowshipped when I was younger they didnt have anything to do with me at all, and the situation wasnt anything like it is now!
Well anyway, they summoned me on the weekend, and I was thinking oh no, here we go. They have decided that their consciences really cant allow them to talk to me anymore. Boy was I wrong. The conversation went like this:
" We have been doing a lot of thinking over the past few months about the situation, and we think it would be best if you wrote a letter disassociating yourself" my dad speaking
To this I was stunned and asked why?
my mum replied "Well you will be showing soon, and it would be better for the congregation in line of you not living in accordance with the scriptures that for their sake, they knew not to talk to you"
Humph, now I understand! They are know that if I am disassociated, noone will aske after me, like any embarrassing questions about my pregnancy.
Surely my devote parents should not be encouraging me to out myself??? I thought they were supposed to offer me help and persuade me to turn around and repent. Is this not scriptually wrong to tell someone to disassociate themselves?
Anyway, life is still wonderful, tis the season of good will and I am loving every second of it.
Xmas greetings to you all.
Love
