@3rdgen - GET OUT AND RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!
I was a fader and then I simply got tired of 'faking it'. As time went on, I got tired of having a husband who was an elder and doing things he had no business doing....as did many other elders who were up on stage sending everybody else to hell. I got sick of "the world is ending any day, I got sick of being talked to like I was a 4 year old but when it's time to 'screw' your husband oh, now you're a 'grown woman'.
Yeah...time out for the bullsh**. When I stopped going and truly just stopped all the J-Dubb crap, I grew up fast. And the J-Dubbs don't like that. You are nolonger a donkey! Time to turn into a STALLION, baby!!! Finally, at the age of 34, I grew up and found out that Jehovah had blessed me with brains that were ooozing for education.
It REALLY hurt, at first. My dad passed away...that was a wake up call. The world is ending every 2 damn years and my parents had been in the cult since 1978. My dad was beyond angry that he had not truly lived his life due to sacrifing for my mom with this dumb a$$ religion that she barely practiced.
Getting back to RIGHT AFTER my dad passed, my mom acted as if she and my brothers and sisters DID NOT want to accept my phone calls, voice mails or text messages. This bullsh** went on for 8 weeks! They call themselves trying to tach me a lesson. Oh, I'm not that type and they soon found out. I called my mom for 3-4 days AFTER I finally noticed she would not return my calls. Lesson Learned, BABY! No-No!! I didn't talk to their a$$' for 8 weeks!
Mom eventually called me acting all sheepish. It's been a bumpy road with all my CHRISTIAN WANNA BE family.
Now, it's 2012. I guess the BORG has gotten them on this B.S. again. Understand, it's 2012 for me, too. This time, I won't be so nice.
