  Dan, I don't get around much to post anymore, but I must say I have followed your situation with much interest. I wish you the best with your life. I too am in the process of moving on with my life.

  Thanks for the memories!!!

  The fallout and the pain

  by lola28 in

  i got an email back from an elder this morning and it looks like the boe is going to treat my email as a letter of disassociation.

  he said he was sad but would forward my email to the congregation that currently has my publishers card.

  this wonderful elder also took the liberty of calling a brother that im really close to and told him about my email, he also sent him a copy (this brother is not an elder!).

  the people that I love and care about will be forced to choose to either be faithful to their god or have a relationship with me. I know what they will choose.

  Lola, hang in there. Your friends aren't choosing between a God and you, they are choosing between an Organiztional Cult and You.

  As far as those elders are concerned, they will do whatever they want to. Knowing this in advance is why I told off two of them when they cornered me. I had my say, and they DF'd me. So be it. I know it's not an easy time right now, but it will get better.

  i have tried so many times to use an avatar that i have selected and saved on my desktop... got it from a tiny pic in a magazine.

  i changed it so that i was saving it in the proper format and still nothing.

  i am very, very frustrated.

  an "Adult's" View.

  here i sit, in my public library, typing away a computer from a hot nasty seat.. but i wouldn't be anywhere else in the world right now.

  (okay, maybe a couple of other places).

  i have to be at work in 40 minutes, and its a 15 minute drive from here, so lets not expect a novel of a post.. yesterday was my birthday, and they did a little cake thing for me and all that which was nice, but otherwise, nothing is new.. my mother seems to be cooling off, but lets just say that the "excrement flinging fan" hasn't been turned off yet.. i'm 18 now, and nothing is different.

  Happy Happy Rich. Take things slowly. It will take some time to get on your feet. But once your're on your feet then you can start walking, then running. Take care, keep us posted.

  Is it just me...?

  or are there one hell of a lot of df'ings going on right now?

  it seems like there is a hell of a lot more effort going into tracking down and eliminating 'postates and "weak" ones than i ever saw go into making new disciples...or shoring up the faith of those already in... (damn pharisees) .

  the witnoids gotta be hemmoraging badly!!!

  I want to live to see them shut down forever. I want to know that they lost for good. And then I will smile.

  I totally agree with you AuldSoul.

  UpsideDown, I guess you can count me in as a recently DF'd one. I love the freedom.

  tired of not existing

  by BlackSwan of Memphis in

  2. experiences

  ok, sorry about this but i'm in tears and just need to absolutely vent..... i am so tired of being invisible, of not existing to people that have said they love me, to people who i've known for years.. i had to find out from the stupid newspaper that a family friend died from her battle w/ breast cancer.. just this week i finally get in contact with someone who had stopped going to the meetings 10 years ago and now that she's back... guess what ... that's right ... i hate this religion.

  yes i am depressed today.

  everything a person has built in a life time is just ripped away.
