On a side note, why weren't you considerate to inform your parents about your DA before they heard it from the platform?
THE REASON WHY I DID NOT INFORM MY PARENTS IS BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT ALLOW TO DECIDE FOR MYSELF. THEY ARE ABUSIVE PARENTS. THEY DID NOT ATTEND THE MEETING AT THE TIME IT WAS ANNOUNCED. THEY WERE IN THE HOSPITAL AS AT THAT TIME. I DID NOT EVEN ATTEND THE MEETING TOO. IT WAS A SISTER IN MY CONGREGATION THAT CALLED MY MOTHER ON PHONE AND INFORMED HER.
