Yeah you should have brought your Watchtower! Then you could have given us an overview Blondie style!!!

Specter, I would be at book study but they made some changes and now I have no idea what book study group I belong to. I could go to book study on Sat. morning but I don't feel like it, I could go to the H**** book study group but the make you take of your shoes ( I hate walking with out shoes), I could go to the E***** book study but the conductor is boring and slow. So as you can see I have no options and therefor must stay away

Bumer, I know

I hate the whole "take off your shoes" thing. Did you ever see the Curb Your Enthusiam episode about that? I've tried to cut and paste a long write-up I did about myself on a myspace group for you to read but I haven't been able to.

Scepter I have never watched that show, maybe I should sometime. I always hate it when people have their guests take of their shoes when they come over. I mean whan you invite someone to come to your home you should try and make them feel comfy right? Don't people get the fact that there might be those that don't like to take their shoes off? What is the worst that can happen if someone wears shoes inside the house? What you might have to pay to get your carpet cleaned once a year?

Shoes are part of the whole ensemble. If I spent a 10 minutes putting on my knee high laced up boots I might not want to spend all night taking them off again. And, uhmmm....I might be wearing my worn out socks with all the holes in them underneath.

They make you take off your shoes? What's up with that?

My Monday was one of the worst I've had in quite some time.... Hope yours wasn't too bad.

Country Guy Sister H*** will freak out if you walk in with shoes, if you do you can't sit in the living room you have to sit in the kitchen area where there is no carpet, hence I have boycotted their house for the last three years. Hope your Tuesday is better.

Scepter, shall we all pitch in and get you some new socks? I will admit thought that in the mornings if I am in a hurry I will grab the nearest socks to me even if they don't match ( as long as they are clean). And if I am wearing cute shoes who will notice if I have to take them off?

Hello All,
My mom became a witness when I was around 5. She eventually married a man who would become the High Inquisitor Elder in our congregation. Not too long after they were married, they decided that the congregation here in California wasn't receiving enough of God's holy spirit so we moved to "where the need was great" in Utah. I was moved away from all my other relatives at the age of 8 to then live in isolation for the next 11 years. All through high school, I was the only witness in the whole school, always told how I was to set a good example to all those pagan Mormons and how it was my own private territory in which too preach. Eventually it was found out that my step-dad was a paranoid schizophrenic after he went on his grand inquisition. He was getting messages from Jesus that my mom was having sex with my 4 year old brother and was told to kill her(much, much more to the story here). When I finally moved out and back to California I eventually got babtized when I was about 19. Got disfellowshipped after having sex with my girlfriend, she was the smart one and DA'ed herself and moved on, I was the stupid one and got myself reinstated, almost two years later. For 2 years I didn't talk too anyone(except for my "worldly" grandparents), I went to almost every meeting but I wouldn't beg to be reinstated, the elders finally just told me that they were going to reinstate me. For several years after that, all was good but eventually I just got bored with it all, the same topics at the meetings year after year. Eventually any friends that I had got married and I was the single guy always left out and easily forgotten. I had to do something or I might have killed myself. When I made the decision too leave about 11 years ago, I fully thought that I was going to die at armageddon. Since that time I took some college classes that got me thinking about what I had always thought of as fact. When I got a computer a few years ago, I read somewhere about Ray Franz's Crisis of Conscience book and ordered a copy, that was also a great eye opener. "Happy is the man conscious of their spiritual need", I am no longer a religious person at all, I don't feel the need to have any connection to any higher power, but I've never felt better.

Hey, I did it. This needs to be edited and expanded but here is a start.

Yikes. Is this the first time you have posted this?
