Auntie Jane , thanks your right .I needed to hear that . I don't need to explain myself to anyone , it's amazing how much influence I give to other people I really need to stop that and take charge of myself .

How my mind has become more troubled .....
by troubled mind inwell our fade seemed to be going along pretty smoothly even with the slight hitch of having to attend the memorial .
then this weekend good old mother in law who lives a thousand miles away , and talks to us once every few months , called, on speaker phone no less .
i know she has informats here and she has been dropping hints for months that she knows something is up , but she never comes out and just asks .

The only thing that holds me back from telling them all where to go is that I could not deal with being shunned by my own kids . I have always known I love my kids more than any thing , and I would never shun them( unlike my in laws who shun their youngest son because we are suppose to love Jehovah more ).I think that's assinine . I wanted time to see how my adult kids would deal with my fade .I'm afraid if she interferes it will all be blown out of perspective and will force matters that could have just run their natural course.

I know she has informats here and she has been dropping hints for months that she knows something is up , but she never comes out and just asks . She wanted to know how everyone at the hall is doing Blah, blah , blah which I usually am good at engineering generic answers to....but then she wanted details about her old friend when I couldn't think of any thing I finally just told her I don't know because I'm not going to meetings anymore . YIKES the gasp she let out . CRAP I'm in for some trouble now . She drilled me over WHY and is it because of some elder's treatment . I didn't commit to any thing specific , she asked if I had disassociated myself...I said nothing has been written in stone it is a private matter that I 'm going through and I appreciate no meddeling....yeah right .She wanted to now how my adult children feel about it and I told her I haven't discussed it with them either and again I did not want her to meddle.She asked about the rest of the family and I said they can make their own choices as of right now they don't attend anymore either. Now I'm sick waiting to see what kind of fall out I will see from this . You don't know how truly involved she can make herself for "your own good ". My father in law is an elder pioneer , brother in law same . She will not rest until she rescues us I just know it . Crap............crap..............crap

CHRIS ALL THE WAY !!!! I love that guy , oh yeah his voice is nice too. PARIS needs to go home now . To much I don't like about her . Katherine is improving every show she will give Chris a run for the title . Taylor is fun , but not idol material . I'm glad Elliot is no longer looking like amish boy off the farm he has a great voice, but lacks stage presence as a star . I want to take over as a judge , Paula needs to get into rehab !

Greetings
by Anomalous One ina warm and friendly hello to all !!.
i've been lurking and learning for a few months.
former elder who drifted away due to congregation hyprocrisy and politics.. went through many of the feelings of inadequacy and/or lack of confidence for a while but the longer i was away the stronger i became.. i'll tell more about myself later but right now i want to thank all of your for sharing your thoughts and comments.. it's truly amazing how bright the light can get when you really learn the truth and get out of the "organization".

How embarassing...
by wombat inimagine starting a topic and hardly anyone replies.
and you have to keep bumping yourself to the top because of either your ego or passion for the topic.. unc did a number on this a couple of days ago but it was too subtle.
(unlike him).. i have no passion for this topic.

I'm so angry!!!!!!
by lola28 inwell it looks like my plan to fade might not work after all.
yesterday afternoon i was in my office when two elders stopped by for a visit.
they came into my job and began to question me in front of my boss and my new assistant!

Lola , You have every right to be angry ! How are you feeling now ? They caused you to have a major panic attack . Definitely take some power back over yourself by doing something assertive for yourself , I think the email to the elder is a good choice .They must understand under no circumstance is it okay for them to stop by your place of employment ever again. Tell them they could have jeopardized your job. They are idiots.
