first, i'd like to thank everyone here that has befriended me for your kindness and support.
having you to talk to after leaving the org made the shunning of everyone i ever knew and family much more bearable.
i initially came here for emotional support due to shunning and also to have questions regarding doctrine answered, which has been accomplished.
Lin,
Wishing you happiness and good fortune.

the decision does not come directly from me.
it comes from being married and having to do things sometimes that keep peace and harmony flowing.. it is time for me say goodbye to all of you here.
first let me thank all of you that have connected with me.

Although I don't "know" you, I've always looked forward to reading your posts. You will be missed.

tonight my daughter and i went window shopping at dockside imports then swung by super walmart to pick up a new pair of pajamas for her to wear.
i pulled into the parking lot at walmart, and parked rather far back, as the entire area was packed with cars.
we goofed off, and i held her as i went skipping along.
You are a courageous and loving woman. Against that no man can stand. And your daughter is one very lucky little girl.

january 26 is a particularly hard day for me.
two of my children were born on this day, five years apart.
i can't wish either one of them a happy birthday.

I am so sorry that you feel so bad. I've never had children, but i know losing them is the hardest loss to bear.

i always loved little animals, and i always will have one.
i noticed that most families do have pets.
for people living alone, a pet is a good companion.
(((((ARoarer)))))))Thank you for your kind words. I was going back to delete what i wrote last night, but then saw the responses and decided not to. Thanks for understanding
(((((Billygoat)))))))))Thank you so much for adding that last bit to your post. I feel better, knowing that it's okay to grieve a pet so much. I've been dealing with the guilt that I miss my dog more than my mother. Now how sick is that! But Brandon was never critical, and always devoted.
((((((LyinEyes)))))))You're sweet, as usual!

PS I've always been careful not to reveal what I do, just in case someone might find out who I am, but I don't really care anymore. I've raised Shelties for over 20 years and had a grooming shop for 15 years. So I've lost plenty of dogs and consoled many people over the lose of their pets. I've given people books on how to deal with the loss of a pet, etc. I could breed one of females and get another puppy. But it just wouldn't be the same.

I'll probably regret writing this, but yes pets are important. I'm still grieving for my Sheltie, Brandon.
He died Jan. 5, 2002. It's been a year. I told myself I'd give it a year. Well I'm still crying.
So maybe it's time to seek help. I can't see to type.
hey joy, im very sorry for the pain you are going through, because the lose of your father.
i also know you had to deal with the borg world again and i know that was hard to deal with.
i really dont have the words just want you to know i care.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

being reasanable to assume that,they are promoting fear within the congregations,keeping others from asking awkward questions,it seems that no one is interested in the reasons why that other person was named and shamed,what a way to control people , one minute they are your best friends the next minute you bump into them say in the high street and you dont seem to exist within there boundarys or vision ,.
my remedy .if you are in this position is to greet them very loudly laughingly saying hallo there ,big wave big smile,be carfull of those paedophiles your mixing with.
( nice & loud ) next time they see you they will run to the otherside of the road,instead of trying to intimidate you.
Oh Cookie,
What a horrible scenario! I never under stood what was meant by "holding your family hostage." Now I do. Deceit and blackmail and lies. They seem to thrive on it.

That story about the Hitler youth and the Puppies really freaked me out.

i found a fast growing tumor on my back.
