See LB,
Just look at the post above mine from Wednesday.
That's stuff that makes sense and a person could learn from.

I know "worldly" people whose marriages have been through the fire and back time and time again. The difference? When they go to their spiritual leader, they are directed to seek counseling that is appropriate for their marriage.
I want to barf that these asshole elders consider that they are wise enough to issue counsel on marriage. [:XX]

Thanks Lisa.
I've learned so much from these posts and appreciate your kind words.
I feel like I'm just growing up so to speak. For the longest time I've lived my life based upon others.
I feel free now. But free towards Christ.
I've made my mistakes - fine. I'm ready to move on.
Thank you so much Lisa. I wish I could tell you how much ((((((hug))))))) means to me.

Hey Richard,
Thanks also for your post.

Confuz it just took a minute to sit down and think how hard it must be to lose someone so close to you, the regret must run real deep and the pain deeper....plus the context is always helpful in getting a better understanding of a situation :)
I feel free now. But free towards Christ.
You know the footsteps poem right? Seems so appropriate now doesnt it?
You've been to the very bottom, the only way is UP now.

Thanks Brummie,
I think to me is more like, "hey, we all make mistakes but we can get over it."
Brum, I can't tell you how aweful it was for me when I first got removed as a pioneer. It was really hard to get over that.
I think that's why my conscience leans more towards the "forgiving" side now a days.
I appreciate you being there.
Counsel has been strong, but good.

Brum,
Where is that poem at???

Confuzcious, I never did get removed from pioneering but I can relate to how awful the disillusionment of experiencing the cult is to begin with. I look back now and think as hard as it all was, it was worth it as it led to freedom of mind....wouldnt want to go through it again though...in fact I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.
Footsteps In The Sand
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.When the last scene of his life flashed before him
he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."The LORD replied:
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you,
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." -

from page 3
This is all new still so I'll fill you in. She's not talking to me and won't return my calls. So yeah, I think my marriage is toast.
But I do love her still. Dearly.
from this page
I mean, feelings don't just disappear when we type something on these pages.
But I want to say to you guys, that I did learn my lesson.
In the future, I know I can be a better husband and I AM very happy now.
I was actually surprised how fast I bounced back from all of this, but I'm in a new relationship now and I'm ready to move on.
Wow, you live life on the quick, lol. From the looks of things, if this isn't just all a joke on the forum, you've learned two things: jack, & sh*t.
