Can anyone help me find....
by caligirl inany concrete quote that says that it is the responsible thing to do to shun people who have left?
i am pretty sure it exists, but quite frankly i am emotionally exhausted, wrung out and on the verge of a total nervous breakdown and can't stand the thought of wading through the cd rom right now to find it because i just might snap all together.
so any help anyone with a strongre stomach that might be willing to assist in finding references would be a big help.

Need to vent
by caligirl ini am so pissed at the family court system.
did you know that there is a state which shall remain nameless at this point that by law requires child support to continue to the age of 21, or as long as the "child' is attending school (and they have to attend only part time, which at community college is usually 2 classes or about 6 credits) it is bad enough that the majority of teenagers today have an "entitlement mentality", but now there is a law that backs them up!!!
kids don't even have to say thank you because they are "entitled" by the nature of the socialist crappy laws to do it!!

Mom coming for a visit
by caligirl inmy mom arrives tomorrow for a week long visit.
i'm seriously debating having a conversation with her, not about doctrinal issues, but more of what bothers me in regards to the mind control aspect of it all.
i have been reading twisted scriptures, and the subtle power of spiritual abuse.

It's an invasion....
by caligirl inof seldom worked territory!
we have been here more than a year, and this is only the 2nd time that anyone has ever rung the bell.
six weeks ago when they rang the bell, i engaged in a 15 minute conversation outlining the reasons i no longer go.

Play Therapy
by caligirl inis anyone familiar with play therapy for children?
opinions?
it has been recommended to me for my 9 year old (anxiety/add related) and i have done some internet research and it seems like it could be very effective because it would allow me to be involved in all aspects, unlike traditional therapy where they treat the sessions as confidential ( yes, as a parent i am not allowed to be party to what is discussed with my child) .

Current Bethel Requirements?
by caligirl inwe jsut found out that my step son is planning to apply to bethel when he turns 19. does anyone know what they currently require, what the current "salary" is, amount of time off per year, etc?
he hasn't turned 18 yet, but is already regular pioneering so he can qualify.
we are just curious.

They Rang the bell this morning....
by caligirl inso, here we are having our usual saturday morning, and the doorbell rings.
since we are expecting the repairman for the dryer, we didn't think much of it, since witnesses have never come to our door in the 4+ years that we have been married.
it was 2 women, and one opens up with saying they were witnesses and brings out a tract that said something about the bible on the front - i didn't pay that close attention to it because i was weighing in my head what i was going to say, and how much of a discussion i would get into with them.

Looking for Newest CD rom
by caligirl inwe are set to have "the discussion" with my stepson next week as to why we do not attend meetings anymore.
he was going to bring his cd rom with him, but said tonight that he is not going to.
we don't know if that is because he is chickening out on the discussion ( i hope not, because i will have spent the last 4 weeks reading all this vomit for nothing) or if he doesn't want to make his mother suspicious by asking to take it with him( which i don't doubt that he would have to do, given the control factor that goes on there).
