    Hi John,

    Thank you for sharing your interesting story.

    i'm having to start over too in many ways, including a big financial hit. I find I'm scrambling to get back to work and rebuild after our savings ran out due to business downturn, irresponsible spouse and my not taking better protective measures (it was myinheritance and  savings).  It's the protective measures I fault myself for and perhaps to  seeing an attorney earlier to stop him enough to realize I mean no.

    It is hard to go down like that but try to focus on what you still have -.  some $ cushion, knowledge to rebuild, release from shallow connections, and sounds like a budding new social network.  You know who you are.  Money is a tool, security, fun.  Enjoy the process of rebuilding your life and your bank balance. 

    Peace,

    Stirred

    I had a similar experience bumping into an elder, a circuit overseer to be exact, not dressed for the occasion. He was hot footing it out of an apartment right above DNA Footwear in Brooklyn, NY. I had gone to DNA to buy a pair of UGG boots, the Australian brand. Anyway, I chased him and took a photo. Enjoy.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Your story as a young rising star elder in your circuit rings a lot of familiar bells with mine. Your story of the elder in fishnet stockings smacks the nearly unbelievable category, but I'll just take your word for it. I wish you have done something more than just nodding, because his hypocrisy is unforgivable. Hoping to hear more from you.

    Welcome to the board!  Money isnt everything...but then im broke and thats what poor people say :P  

    @jwleaks-  some may not realize thats a picture of perez hilton and not an actual photo corroborating your story.  A satire warning may be needed ;)

    What trouble could the tranny bro have made for you? Were you sloppy drunk or something? One thing worse than associating with hypocrites is having to sit and be judged by them.

    Welcome, imagine becoming an elder and finding out the behind the scenes activities of the congregation, that is what made my husband leave.

    BTW, aren't men that wear women's clothing cross-dressers as opposed to men who want to be women physically, transsexuals.
