Brother you telling me to go to elders and be honest about EVERYTHING is like the alcoholic telling the drug addict to stop using.
Touched a nerve didn’t I?

i think it is time to get of the tms schedule, i haven't given a talk in over a year and don't want to be on the list any more.
do you think the elders would get on my case if i did this?
is it a wise choice?.

Well brother it sounds to me like you were less than honest with the elders.It is one thing to compalin about the congragation, they can live with that, but if you begin to question the society, well then you are in deep trouble. You and I both know that if our BOEs found out we were here they would df us.

So you suggest that I go to my BOE and say "Hi brothers I just wanted you to know that I am an active member at an apostate board, all the things that I have learned there have made me question whether we really have the truth, thats why I am no longer a pioneer, why I don't come to meetings or go out in service."
Do you realize how fast they would DF me? Tell me Dfed how did this work out for you?

Blondie there has been a big problem in my congragation with people not showing up at the meeting when they had a talk to give.The problem got so bad that we had not one but two special needs part on it with several comments every week about "letting your yes mean yes and your no mean no".
We have two schools the front and the back, so many began to cancell and not show up at all that some weeks we only had the front school because everyone in the back school had cancelled. There was a month where I gave three last minutes talks because the other sisters cancelled or just did not show up at the last minute. So i think the TMSO would get really annoyed if I began to cancell all my talks at the last minute.

Fre2beme you are right, the speaking skills that I learned from the school have helped me alot, in school and in my job.
I really can't go to the school overseer and tell him that I want to go of the list because of the stress of giving a talk. I was normally the one they would call to give last minute talks I could put a talk together in 30 min if I had to. I also don't like the idea of cancelling at the last minute because then it places the burden of giving the talk on the sister that is the householder and I know that most of the sisters in the hall would be really upset if I did this to them, many of them are elderly and I don't want to put that kind of stress on them.
DF, what do you suggest I do?

Hey Blondie they are putting me on as a householder, earlier this week I cancelled on a sister but i have seen my name on posted as both the one giving the talk and as a house holder.
By the way I just wanted to let you know that I always look out to see if you have posted, I think you are very wise and i thank you for all the wonderful post you have made.

i would like to have a simple message written in spanish that i can put in the car's windshields at my town's kh.
i notice a large hispanic attendance, esp on sunday afternoons, i think they must have their own meeting then....?.

o.k i confess: sometimes i still wish i was in high school where i was tucked away safely away from the real world.
oh yeah, and i pick my nose sometimes.
what are your confessions?
I confess that sometimes I wish I had never found this board. I wish I could go back to the way things were. I wish I could have my friends back, I wish I could still go to the hall without feeling sick.
