  @3rdgen - If they are willing to use my child as a witness against me I highly doubt I'd be able to reason that with them.

  For some reason the elders asked my husband if he ever talked to my dad about the situation. Apparently, he did but my dad was completely unhelpful. Wonder if they are going to drag my dad into this or are even going after him for some reason. I mean, why bring up my dad?

  I laughed when my husband was pushing for to meet with them. I'm like, "I'm not going to be my own 2nd witness." Lol

  Wonder if they would ever try to talk to my 5 year old...

  They know there will be no negotiations on celebrating holidays if I'm disfellowshipped. However; if I'm not disfellowshipped I'd negotiate on things such as having a "winter festival" instead of Christmas.

  Husband told them it would be impossible to raise them anywhere near the religion if I'm excommunicated because I would tell the courts when we get divorced that he's raising them in a cult. They said what I'm doing is blackmail. Apparently, all agreed that I have a "domineering personality" and feel it would be bad for the kids if I'm disfellowshipped.

  Apparently, I'm a "unique case" and they are going to talk to the other elders and CO. They want to meet with me and might be sending me a letter requesting a meeting but said that I should not be worried about getting disfellowshipped.

  i feel bad for my kids that their father puts the congregation above them.

  it's so sad.

  he's so busy with all this congregation stuff that they have just about no relationship.. .

  "Its all good. the last time she wanted the olive branch, I faked a headache. I told her not to worry, we could always do that in the New World, which is right around the corner!!"

  That sucks. You know it's bad when the guy fakes a headache...

  Go ahead, go out in service, then go to your meeting and then god knows what else on your day off. The kids are so used to it so I'm sure they won't even ask for you anyways.

  I should add after reading LisaRose's post, I don't know much about child pageants. All that spray tab, fake teeth, etc is shocking to me. In the video, for the most part I saw a little kid having fun dancing on stage.
