No I don't. I'm just a nice person and was very social and nice with the elder that is talking to me most of the time over the phone to schedule visits between us over this. It's just difficult because we're all cool.

How to politely refuse a last chance meeting with the elders?
by bottleofwater inthe elders are giving me a chance to meet up with them a last time in order to try to prevent a disfellowshipping.
one of the elders will call me in two days to see what i think because i told him that i don't want to be in the religion anymore.
how can i politely and painlessly refuse?

They have evidence against me and I agreed to the evidence being valid.

They asked to talk to me tomorrow, but I told them that this is overwhelming and to call me Tuesday instead.
They want to meet up.
How do I avoid this when one of the elders calls me again? They're pretty much trying to get me to repent by Friday or else I'll be disfellowshipped.
You know what? I don't mind being DF'd! Go ahead!
Now how do I just get them away so that way they can go ahead and do their deed?
I know that I'm "unrepentant" and I told one of the elders that I'm probably like that. I told him that I don't feel regret.

Get the elders to leave me alone!!
by bottleofwater inmy dad read something online that i posted and told the other elders (he's the boe coord.).
they've read me articles about homosexuality and tried to coerce me to stay with the family instead of living with my uncle for a week.
i went to my uncle's anyway.

No, not really... unless you've wanted it all along. But then if they're talking about porn popups, then possibly.
Turn off your monitor RIGHT NOW!

Me and my story... Issues, issues, issues
by bottleofwater inmy parents learned the truth when i was about 2 years old or so and they got baptized when i was 4.. they came from ukraine from the former soviet union and i was born months after they came to brooklyn.. they started studying with a sister who was american and joined the first russian group in brooklyn.. my brother was born when i was 5. we moved to staten island when i was 8 or 9.. ever since i was 14 or 15, i realized an attraction to guys.. of course, i kept on putting it off as a phase or an "everyone feels this way" excuse.. and yes, i had lots of crushes on guys, but i didn't tell others because it was hard to face the facts.. around 18 years of age, we were having our family study and my dad said that if a person even has gay thoughts then they can't be a pioneer, etc.. and he was an elder and a coordinator of the body of elders.. i got depressed and cried for days and eventually this got me to feel the need to tell someone about it.. i told my 14 year old brother (the other younger one is 7) about it because he keeps his mouth shut all the time.. he didn't react at all really.
eventually i felt like i had to tell my pioneer mom about it (by the way, i've been pioneering since 18 years of age due to knowing that that would be the only reason why my dad would pay for my college education).. she reacted with mixed feelings of denial, also attacking me and making it look like i'm disgusting, immoral, this and that.... eventually i told someone my age about this in my congregation, as he was also a neighbor of ours.
he was a bit more feminine acting, though i wasn't sure if he was gay or not (though the sisters had their rumors) (i'm more of the masc type it seems).

I guess it's double-sided.
Pluses and minuses.
On the one hand, I'm outta there.
On the other, my name will be announced and gasps...
Poor elderly sister whose name I won't mention's heart...
She thought I was an angel...
