that's a crazy question.. they really mean, "do you regret your decesion to leave".. ---.
it's just an ice breaker to become nosy into one's personal life.. ---.
btw, last time i was asked this, no, everytime i'm asked this i reply with: "i'm never coming back".. they seem to hear that.. .
I guess ,depending on who asks this, I wouldn't dignify the inquirer with an answer. Jesus failed to reply to Pilate's question: he was aware that Pilate was already predisposed to a certain conclusion. Who asked this?
about to wear a neatly trimmed goat-tee to the hall.......i'll post my experiences here afterward.. .
.
@punkofnice, I laughed it off. He is significantly older than me, and just a MS....no need to explain.
please share your experiences..
I havent told them. I've managed to open my families eyes a little to the unchristian behavior but mostly my negative comments have gotten alot of cognitive dissonance.

I believe she suspects I may be apostate.

She does, kinda. I have been increasingly critical of the man-made rules. I have bragged about the benefits I experience from college, and have emphasized how 'priviledges' in the congregation are a poor measure of "spiritual maturity/progress". I have compared the insitance on being clean-shaven to the circumcision issue. Im convinced that Jah is not offended by the creation! I haven't underlined "studied" for any of the boasting sessions, and I have limited commenting (if the elders call on me) to the bible highlights or reading a scripture. Underlining answers in a magazine isn't studying! More than that, I've often caught my mother "studying" the WT without looking up the cited scriptures! Context is key, but the asleep just dont get it! I pray for them to wake up!
what is the focus for this one.
is it "well lads ring the legal department but if anything goes wrong, you are on your own.
the cs deals with all that".
Looking forward to hearing your insights....

DEAR BLACKFALCON98
I love you very much. I'm sorry for the added pain I must be causing you. Please forgive me. I will step back and see how the end turns out. I am a little disappointed with your outspokenness and strongwilled attititude that is not to your advantage in this case or any like it where you are not the authority or holding the controling factor. I see trouble you don't or don't care about or don't believe exist. Nonetheless, it's your life and you are relieved to live it your way. [END OF LETTER]
I particapated in "No shave November". I grew a goat-tee, and the hounders refused to grant me back 'priviledges' because I didn't shave for a month.
lol they keep saying that this is truly satans system and all that crap.how people in the world are so judgemental and crazy.. anyone else getting sick of this?.
.
Its shameful, people are so swift to judge when very few were actually present for the event. Stories have been sensationalized, experiences ignored, racist who jump at the opportunity to vent frustration....its one big mess, a misrepresentation of the black race, and true nightmare I wish would go away.
