my two sisters did the right thing, pioneering straight out of school, janitoring to pay for the petrol (one didn't even bother with her final year of school).
it was this kind of fine example that got me guilt-tripped into auxiliary pioneering just after getting baptised at age 20. i only lasted six months; i took a holiday in queensland and returned not knowing much more about life but at least that it's bigger than my little congregation.
i despised the field service, i dreaded the daily schedule and every morning i was on my way out there was this awful countdown from the alarm going off to the first door opening, knowing that it's just a big setup to another depressing humiliation.
a friend of mine gave a talk at a circuit assembly. it "moved" me.
so the following day i drove over to some elders house and gave him my application.
all the while, i was smoking pot while pioneering...
i finally quit when i realized i couldn't reconcile the 2.
quit right before the pioneer school. and when they asked why. i told them i smoked - so i got reproved.

that is, if you are able to without the prospect of facing a three-man kangaroo court appointed by jerhover to keep the congregation clean from apostate influences.. i'll go first: .
you're all wrong.
tetra doesn't "look" like anyone but himself. and he's way more handsome than your choices.
of course, i've never met him, really.

so, we left the org.
back in december.
i went & visited my mother in february & shared with her some of the research i had found.
hi lusciousJ,
remember, this isn't your mother but an organization putting words in her mouth. she was told to put on this "new personality" a long time ago. her words are the sentiments of a mind-controlling organization, not her own. she's demonstrated how she's really felt for you since you saw her back in february. someone in the org. has probably just assailed her with guilt and that's what made her say what she did.
give her time.
and remember you have mothers here that will love you as their own daughter. you have men and women that will love you as their own siblings...
and welcome to the board.

do you have a favourite song your listening to right now?.
usually, i admit i am a rap/hip hop fan but the song reflecting my mood today is 'the sound of silence - simon and garfunkel'.
and now, Imagine.

very entertaining, and yet... what's the word? misleading?
i was just telling my mother the other day, what does it matter if none of her children make it into the beautiful and long awaited paradise regime. she won't remember us anyways and she'll be blissfully happy.
i think she agreed.
hmmmm.

before i found this website, i accepted the fact that i was going to be destroyed at armageddon.
but now that i know it's a big lie, i don't worry about that.. but just for fun, if you could choose your armageddonly death, how would you like to go?
OFG, are you picking on me?
it's how you spell it in french.
really.

hey i was on holiday last week and we went to a sea-side night market and there was a food stand called "roadkill restaurant".
the motto was "you kill it, we grill it".
charming place.. they had crocodile, buffalo, camel, and kangaroo and emu kebabs.
ants.
