jurs,
Welcome to this site. I am also new. It's weird that you mention that although you missed a lot of meetings last year, you still believed 100%. I was disfellowshipped 4 years ago, and until I came on this site, I still believed 100%. I thought that I was the only person on earth who thought there was a lack of love in the congregation or who thought that forbidding certain things (such as extracurricular school activities) was rediculous. My children are now 16 & 17. My daughter just went to the prom this weekend. My kids missed out on a lot of things when they were little. They are involved in activities in school now. And I have to say it's been a very positive thing for them. It's weird for me that I found this site. The night I first came on here, I was looking for something to make me want to be reinstated. What I found was that I am not alone, that meny people feel he way I do. I have received suggestions from others that have helped me see "outside the box." I enjoy the time that I spend here, and I hope you do too.
Bonnie
