Awwwww, I thought she was adorable! I would never do that myself, because I'd rather have vacations and put the money into a college account, but I'd hope they'd already have the money for that if they can afford to put her in a pageant.
I didn't understand the need for a wig if she didn't want it. That was the part I was really uncomfortable with. That part I just didn't get at all and IMO was crossing a line.
one of two things will happen.
i'll get disfellowshipped and never have to worry about being "told on" again for living a normal life, or; they won't do anything.. either way, it's freeing and i feel relieved... it will be sad if i get disfellowshipped but i've come to terms and made peace with it as much as can be expected.
it's a huge weight to have off.. was told on a week ago and haven't heard anything.
Thank you everyone. I'm not sure if I would go or not to an elders meeting. Probably not but nothing is definite.
To answer Flippers question, my father is an elder but doubt he could or would impact anything.
Simon - I've decided not to lie. My kids are 3 and 5 and there will be tons of holidays and birthdays I will be participating in so don't want to be caught lying as if I have something to be ashamed of. I may tell them it's none of their business, but that's as far as I'm willing to go.

Was told on a week ago and haven't heard anything. I'm guessing if they are going to do anything I'll hear within a week or so. I'll keep you all posted.
its been done for a long time.
relieved with the idea of finally being free without the fight.

Thank you everyone for your support. No decisions have been made yet as far as how we are going to move forward.
ok so i know its not really anything to do with jwness but we are struggling with baby names and really can't think of one we both like.
its getting a bit desperate as i'm due in about 8 weeks .. i'm getting bored of looking at the same old names on the baby names websites so any suggestions would be much appreciated (girls please).. **cash prize for the one we choose!
** ....... no not really lol.. .

Its funny, cause I'm actually in a really happy place in my life. I've made a lot of new friends, got a new job offer with a ton more money, etc. I feel like I'm in a good place to move forward with this. We have talked about it also and are on the same page and both feel the same way.
its been done for a long time.

I don't think so. I'm relieved so no need to be sorry. Everything's just come to a head since my older daughter went into kindergarten and wanted to celebrate holidays and birthdays... But, as I said, it's been a long time coming....

when i started the fade....i recognize that i was upset, mainly because of the desillusionment.
but, over the course of the past several months, i am noticing an increasing anger toward all thing org.
it can only be described as indignation, not simply upset.
I went pretty much bat shit crazy the second I finally put it all together, lol
i've read conflicting things so was hoping to get this clarified.. .
.
Thank you everyone for your replies. Flipper, I'll try calling you today.
As an update, I haven't heard anything from the elders. I'm going to ask my husband if he even went to them. I've already gone to two birthday parties with my kids and he knows about those also. I'm figuring he decided not to say anything but will confirm.
