nearing the anniversary
by 4digitcode inon the 11th of this month it'll be a year that i have been disfellowshipped.
i didn't dread being disfellowshipped mostly because i had underestimated the resolve of individual witness friends of mine to shun me.
i aslo had no idea what being all alone from one day to the next felt like.

Wow. That was potent. I'm not DF'd, I've been what they'd call an Apostate for about 2 years, and officially DA'd last month. My large family with whom I was close is completely horrible and counts me among the dead, and I them.
I dream about them at times, we're all together laughing, eating, drinking, singing karaoke, like we'd do at family get togethers. Then out of the blue one of my sisters comes up to me and says You shouldn't be here, you don't belong here, etc. . .I've awakened sobbing a few times right at that point.
My point is that like you describe, it just slays me for days, it's so real and painful. Give yourself slack, you deserve it. It is a loss, family and friends. Remember that you're not alone and the mourning you endure is real and must be felt.

What was your book study like?
by reneeisorym ini remember going to this lady's house who insisted on it being boiling hot!
it didn't matter if it was winter or summer -- she either refused to turn on the air conditioning or had the heater on full force!
my dad always hated it because he had to wear his coat while he conducted even though it was 90 degrees.

Wow. Sounds like we all went to the same BS at some point.
When I was a teenager onward, I used to observe that no matter what the topic, we were all experts, we all had some unique experience that summed it all up. I reduced my commenting when I realized that I, too, sounded like a know-it-all.
The BS brought home to me how it was all so phony. Even later when I was an RP I had these constant thoughts that all the many words, they were meaningless. Hey! I was right.

I did my first "bad" thing...question about voter registration
by B_Deserter ini was at work yesterday and was asked if i wanted to put $5 down on a square the guys had going on for nascar.
i had been asked before, and always said "no thanks," but this time, i had some cash on me (which is a rare thing), so i decided i might as well try it.
so there you have it, i gambled.

I am a lawfully armed sane citizen. I elect not to provoke anyone else who is armed or not, for fear I'd have to defend my self with lethal means, then explain in court that I started it.
That would be bad. I drive on and think, 'rotten fool, pal, you don't know it, but by ignoring you I'm saving your life.'

Welcome TL. It's true: NEver have so many people sucked so much. Never before has a single religion damaged so many families and individuals so badly.
They are, in the words of Homer Simpson, The suckiest sucks who ever sucked.
