Anyone else feel stir crazy??
by dssynergy inso, now that i haven't been to meetings for over a year and i've told my mom and my friends that i'm taking a break i'm feeling a little....stir crazy.
is that normal?
i think i read somewhere on this board someone mention they sort of went wild for about 6 months, got it out of their system and then were better.

Conscious Class vs. Fading...
by dssynergy inas i have stated a number of times - i'm really struggling.
i would like more than anything just to fade away and life my life.
however, i am not willing to give up my family, specifically my nephew who needs me to stick around.

Invalid Baptism
by dssynergy innew to the board, first post.
just curious if anyone has ever tried to leave because of an invalid baptism.
if a person felt their baptism was invalid because they did it under pressure, and did not really devote themselves to jehovah, and would not now be baptized if given the chance ~ would they still be disfellowshipped or disassociated??
