Did you ever have an event that was a smack in the face to how long you've been out?
by feenx ini got df'd in 2002, about 6-8 weeks after getting my dog.
for quite a while, with that initial severing of anything/anyone i'd ever known growing up, she wa the only thing i had.. since then, like many, i pulled myself up out of the muck the org leaves us in and built a life for myself.. yesterday i had to put my dog to sleep.
it was sudden, unexpected.

Odd Nostalgia...?
by feenx inhappy friday everyone!!.
so in the course of working on a writing project i was doing some research last night on ye ol wtbs library (which no joke i have placed on my computer in a folder called "barf") and lo and behold, after getting tremendously frustrated that despite it's self advertised awesomeness i still couldn't find what i wanted, in a moment of haste i entered in my last name into the search, and poof all kinds of entries.. for whatever reason i had completely forgotten about my great uncle being mentioned, well at least as often as he is.. so i start reading some of the entries, and it's all talk about his missionary work.
and holy sh*t, i actually got a little nostalgic for the guy.

Elders calling me in an hour
by bottleofwater inokay, if you haven't figured me out yet, read my past forum posts.. so the 2 elders wanted to meet up with me for the last time today to talk to me, but i told them that i want to talk on the phone and not in person as i can speak more freely and have less inhibitions.. they found out that i had committed acts of homosexuality with a few people and they still want to keep me in the congregation somehow.. i, myself, don't feel repentant over what i did and don't really regret much.
if i came across an opportunity to actually be in a relationship with someone and it were to appeal to me, i could potentially take that opportunity.. so now, i need to know what to tell them when they call me in an hour from now.
i want to be able to let them know that i don't mind being disfellowshipped and that i'm not repentant.
