one of my friends who is a ms told me today that the elders have 'marked' me because i'm a reg.pioneer and i've decided to go to college next semester???!
he said he can't tell me anymore but to be careful---what the hell does 'mark' mean?
I got marked for growing a beard. It happens, just ignore them and do what you want. The marking means nothing other than you don't have to put up with self righteous super fine appostles who want to control 100% of your life.
Or tell them that you are looking forward to being able to reach out to young folks with the message that would otherwise not get it. It is your own personal private teritory. Of course if they were to remove you from pioneer then there would be no point then.
I am leaning towards the air source heat pump. I would like a system that will pay for itself over time. The gound source heat pumps sound like the most efficient, but the cost just may be to high to justify.
The city where I live does offer rebates as well as 3% loans for replacing with high efficiency system. Will be taking advantage of that for sure.
God willing... that is a good one. I have set up meetings at work and had some of a specific faith always say 'god willing'. So if he did not show up for my meeting,..... well god wasn't willing. Didn't relalize he was giving me a maybe and an out to blame it on god if he was a no show.
every year i attend, missing only 5 in 50 years.. i do not attend meetings nor active in anyway, my family shun me,(all devote believers) but i do feel drawn to attend each year.
i am out for sure, but i no longer have faith, or a belief in any religous body as being approved by god.. i am so screwed up now i not sure if i believe in a creator!, let alone who or what that may be.. i was born into the truth, married into the truth and my ex is devote.. i could never return to the cult now seeing it for what it is.. i served, donated, slaved for years happy to do so as has all my family.. i went out of my way to get df, sort of a wanting to die act, of rejecting the society.. i used to sit in a movie in my youth and think, wow i am so lucky, all these people are going to die and i will live forever.. even just typing this gives release to my emotions,, lol,,, yea i have many emotions,,, many regrets, basically the organisation i followed and the instructions destroyed my life in every possible way.. the power plays that i witnessed within are what first woke me up,,,at first i let it go, forgiving those involved as brothers do.
but again and again power and position is and was the thing to have, you got the power you got everything.
