Welcome, Caine. Feel for you. (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) I"m guessing they would keep you out longer--if they fully remember that you had said it. They might just see it as evidence that you had gotten weak about study and attendance and, therefore, got doubts--which opened the way to sin. If you weren't/ aren't actively (as far as they know) speaking against the org., they might still treat it as just a sex sin and leave the rest alone. Good luck with your situation!

Grabbing your butt..
by sammielee24 inwatching the clip of george bush sr patting terri hatchers ass after lunch and a kiss on the cheek makes me wonder about a few things.
first - at what level of intimacy do you allow said pat or grab?
would you let an acquaintance do it?

You know what, though...she's probably SICK to DEATH of having to keep up an image that meets everybody's expectations. She's never had a life that is truly her 'own' and is still in a developmentally natural age time-frame to explore all these self-discovery/ rebellion options, just like any young-twenties kid.
I would think people on this board, especially--coming out of [and rebellin off of!] the lifelong BORG expectations--would understand her need to go through this time too...and to decide that what everyone ELSE wants from her is not paramount to what she needs or who she is.
Let her rebel. Let her grow up. Let her find her own middle ground in her own time. She's never had that chance up to now.

When "friends" let you down...
by Crumpet inhave you ever been in a position where you really needed your friends - ie a relationship break down, or some other event and expected your friends to rally and support you.
only to find that those friends are nowhere to be seen or heard and when you tentatively enquire how they are in the hope for some kind response you get - "oh well you'll get over it.
" or words to that effect and by email.. i have as you can guess a reason and recent experience of my own that i'll share later, but i wondered how do you handle that?

(((((((((( Crumpet )))))))))
Realize that friends aren't always in a position to understand or to know the appropriate way to respond. That's the reason why we have many friends...many friends can help us cover our bases better when we're looking for just the support in just the right moment. It doesn't mean you need to stop being friends.
You can respond by saying, "I know I'll get over it eventually, but right now I'm really hurting. I'm wondering if there's any time that would be good for you, if you'd be willing to talk." Remember, try as we might, WE let OUR friends down sometimes, too. We would like if they gave us an opportunity to try again when that happens...right?
Feel for you, Hon.

Really Bad Day Today!
by winnie ini woke up to my kids all sick, a letter in the mailbox (put there sneakily sometime early this morning) saying that we should 'return to serve jehovah and become one of the family again' (cannot understand the association of meeting attendance = being part of a family.
family is family no matter what they choose to believe.
) and to top it all off, our 10 year old dog who has been really sick past week, had to be put down a couple of hours ago.

Good post, rebel8. Don't have time to read it all right now, but definitely intend to.
