    I feel for you buddy!! I really do, I had to leave all my friends and family and they guy I had fell in love with! I wanted him to leave with me of course! But I only wanted him to leave because he didn't belive in the Org. any longer, not just for me. I could never have been happy if I thought he thought he had sinned against God for me! I miss him terrible sometimes, and my friends, but I am so glad I did what I did. It's been a year now and I can't belive I survived, and yes it does get better with time.

    I'm now free to be ME!!! Scary thought I know, I don't have to have other people watching me, bossing me around or worry about stumbling someone. I can have a closer relatioship with God and Jesus, because there aren't a group of men telling me about instead, and totally misrepreseting them and the Bible.

    There's a whole world out there just waiting for you!! And theres pelenty of single chicks too HAHAHHAAH trust me!!

    I wish you the best and hope you come to see the 'truth that sets you free'!

    OTF,

    Fence sitting is an honorable mechanism. I pride myself as being one of those, perhaps the most inactive person ever.

    There is NO need to do anything!!! Learn to nod and smile. Make real non-committal utterances, such as "thank you", "that's interesting", "hmmm...", "good point", "I see what you mean" and so forth.

    Who needs a doctrinal discussion. Just 'shine 'em on'!

    Develop a mysterious ailment. Contract Materialism; that's a pleasant way to go. It's rarely fatal. Go on night shift. Move, across town, across state, across country. Get a job that involves travel. (I did several of these; you are not restricted to just one.)

    But you gotta do something about the microphones, like an allergy or such. Drop them a few times, that should work.

    I'm trying to do the lighter side. If you don't have an overbearing, 'born again', IYF (InYerFace) father, like me, it could be an OK journey.

    At any rate, TAKE IT SLOW, NO HURRY.

    Just a scripture and a quote to think about:

    Courage is not the absence of fear;
    It is going ahead despite the fear.

    BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS;DO NOT BE AFRAID NOR DISMAYED BEFORE THE KING OF ASSYRIA,NOR BEFORE ALL THE MULTITUDE THAT IS WITH HIM;FOR THERE ARE MORE WITH US THAN WITH HIM.

    Understand your situation bro, I'm in the same spot only just a few years older!!!! My problem married to wonderful sister but have huge doubts myself!!!! I assure you still active within the Org. but "goin' thru the motions"!! The whole drifting away slowly works for many, but not me. I don't want those to think I am spiritually weak........I have never been so spiritual in my whole life!! Hate jumping thru hoops(MS, PIO, etc) because thats what everybody wants me to do!!!
    Bro been where you are at, Feel free to email meprivately!!!!
