  sorry i just need to vent a little bit,, after i became inactive i moved away from my home congregation and town and things were really peaceful for a while.

  i even thought that i might get to avoid the february/ march elder visits as nobody knows me in my new location.

  yesterday, i saw two sisters coming to the door and i didn't answer to hopefully avoid a confrontation.

  2. friends

  the thought of getting married at the kh was very depressing.

  i always thought what a bore it would be, i mean afterall its a very special day in your life why do it at such a boring place?

  i always thought about going to an exotic location for mine.. what about you?

  !...she is not a staunch christian...but she has absorbed beleifs having been raised in my church...now she is laying here with tears...and trying to figure out how they can make this work....he says that she can raise the baby in her beilfs...and they could just each beleive what they beleive...she is in that same mode..her heart hurts..and she wants to figure out a way that all this will work...she keeps asking me...she is twenty-five...i am her monther...i am heartsick...i want my daughters happiness...for the long haul...we discussed about the words warning of being unevenly yoked...i was hoping prehaps she could get some of your experinces....and your insight....thank you....

  2. friends

  i thought i'd hit it several times before...as i have been thru the divorce over the past couple of years...lost all my so-called friends...lost my belief in what i thought was the "truth"....and now my own loving daughter, being the good little dub she is has told me she doesn't want me to walk her down the aisle at her wedding.

  she told me today at lunch.

  i almost threw up.

  this morning i told my wife about my decision to step down as a ms and that i also would'nt be attending any meetings.

  she made a few comments that i expected her to make, but strangely enough she was for the most part very silent.

  she made it clear that she was against the decision but outside of a few other comments she said very little.
