Did you believe life was always a gift no matter what the circumstances?
by LongHairGal ini had a discussion years ago with an elder about this topic.
he said life was a gift no matter what we had to endure.
(we were talking about people who went through horrible things e.g.

Dubs telling people who they should and should not marry.
by LongHairGal ini know of several experiences of couples who got married against the unwanted advice of the busybodies at the hall.
and i am not talking about a sixteen year old girl marrying a seventeen year old boy either!
these were people way over 30. .

Did they try to get you to do prison witnessing?
by LongHairGal ini remember them trying to get a bunch of sisters to go prison witnessing.
i felt very uncomfortable about the whole thing.
i voiced my concerns to an elder and was told we were only witnessing to the women and we were safe.

Dubs putting smiley faces and scriptures on notes they send you.
by LongHairGal ini am not necessarily referring to the scriptures they quote in greeting cards.
although this is enough to make you barf because it makes the person sending it out to be so "spiritual" (whether they are or not) and also it makes a false impression that they love you (whether they do or not).
what i am really referring to is when one of them needs a favor from you and they send you a note and put a smiley face at the bottom and quote some scripture.

Is God hooked on human sacrifices?
by LongHairGal ini am not necessarily referring to the kind in the old testament when something or someone is burned on altar.
what i am referring to is our life in general.
is he only pleased with us when there is a dead body involved (namely ours)?

Did you believe there would ever really be justice or real judgment?
by LongHairGal ini know one of the reasons some people got involved with the dubs was because they expected to see perfect justice in the new system.
the problem i had with this was in order for there to be perfect judgment/justice there would have to be a resurrection and god would have to pay back every person who ever lived tit for tat for every conceivable thing ever done!
this would make him the most petty god around.

They have screwed-up ideas about forgiveness
by LongHairGal inthis was another issue i had with them.
no matter what someone did, no matter how bad and even if the person was dfd and came back some would welcome them with open arms.
it was almost as if they were being rewarded for their wrongdoing.

What were your reasons for not liking the ministry school?
by LongHairGal ini dropped out years ago because i couldn't stand getting together with sisters i didn't like to do a talk.
i hated it with a passion!!
i do realize that you did learn but what i resented was that the sisters were inflicted on each other in a way that i don't think the brothers were.

What did they all do on "worldly holidays" when you were home alone?
by LongHairGal ini always hated being alone on thanksgiving or christmas.
what bothered me was that if it were known you accepted an invitation by relatives it was frowned upon.
but what got to me was this: is god more pleased that i am home looking at four walls alone rather than being over somebody's house??

Did you feel their togetherness and nosiness put you in danger?
by LongHairGal ini know it is an odd question and maybe i am not phrasing it right but i felt with their cult of confession (not just to the elders) but with everybody knowing each other's business it could be a danger.
for example: let's say you were a person who kept a lot of money hidden in your house and you made the mistake of telling one of these wonderful friends - what guarantee did you have that they wouldn't blab it to the wrong person and you could get robbed or something?
i always felt with them that i shouldn't let the right hand know what the left was doing.
