  JW's: Did You Tattle-Tale To The Elders When You Heard Things?

  by mentallyfree31 in

  just curious...how many of you went to the elders and reported to them things that you heard through gossip?

  .

  and how many of you knew things that could get people disfellowshipped, but decided not to tell the elders?.

  I can recall one time specifically. This particular "friend" would come around when I was newly married, to our house, and we also worked at the same company. He made me uncomfortable, and wouldn't catch a hint to leave us alone.

  One day at work this story is going around about how he was so drunk at a bar that he couldn't drive out of the lot right, and wrecked his car a few blocks away. I told the elders, at the time thinking I needed to get him help (because you know all elders are lawyers, and detox and AA trained) This person did most definately have a drinking problem.

  Now that I'm an adult, I know I did it because I found him irritating. I only regret that I played along with a silly game, the JC.

  I kept far more secrets, still do...some of them maybe I shouldn't have.

  wow, thats crazy! Thanks for showing the video, and glad you are through the worst of it. Of course it's headed straight for ME, but it's supposed to die off a little and no tornadic activity expected (crossing fingers)

  Can I add that I'd also like to have an IGNORE button to apply to poster that just don't get it? Yeah, that'd be nice.

  I need to lose 20 pounds

  i hate to exercise, therefore i haven't really ever done it, and stuck with it.

  i've had 6 children, and am quite sedentary.

  i get really bad migraines when my blood pressure rises, hence hating excercise.. .

  The migraines keep me from doing strenuous activities that cause high levels of heartrate for extended periods. It's not worth an hour workout to end up in the ER getting a shot of medication so I can sit up, view light of be a mom.

  So work out for half an our or do workouts that don't elevate your heart as much.

  See? Now you can play along nicely and be helpful! This helps.

  You may think what you wish. I wasn't the one that posted a thread basically saying "I'm overweight, I don't workout, I kinda eat OK, I drink. how do I lose weight" and then explaining why there is absolutely no way you can change any of that.

  This does not. No where did I say I am overweight, I said I need to lose 20 pounds. I eat very well, not OK, I do drink occasionally, but not higher sugar/calorie drinks like mudslides etc. I never explained why there was "absolutely no way" I could change it.

  I think you like and thrive on drama, and I will not feed you anymore.

  Secondly, I DO know about my condition with my thyroid, not sure what would make you believe otherwise. I know my last levels, what they mean, how to treat it naturally as opposed to chemically, what Hashimotos is, how it makes me feel, and how to know when I'm having a flare up. That doesn't jive with the first thing wrote... I was in the past diagnosed with a slow thyroid, and haven't been taking my medication. So if you were diagnosed in the past and haven't been taking your medication, it seems like you are more AWARE of the problem than taking care of it. Gosh I wish I had the font/color/highlight tool here....this my dear NVL was NOT directed towards you, but rather at Lola for saying this....First things first. If you do have a thyroid problem, go to your doctor and sit down with him/her and have them explain your medical condition to you so that you understand it, it's silly to say "I have a medical condition and know nothing about it", it is you job to ask questions and be as informed as possible! Not everything is about you NVL, sorry.

  Wow, a lot of info here, thanks everyone for your input. I would like to clarify two things

  I am NOT lazy. I am more active than most people I know. I am self employed, and it does NOT require me to be sedentary, but quite the opposite. I CHOOSE to be sedentary instead of excercise, when given downtime. Lets be clear, in having 6 kids, my own agency, a husband and two dogs, this is not all that often, as it may have read in the original post.

  Secondly, I DO know about my condition with my thyroid, not sure what would make you believe otherwise. I know my last levels, what they mean, how to treat it naturally as opposed to chemically, what Hashimotos is, how it makes me feel, and how to know when I'm having a flare up.

  I use none of these as excuses as to why not, but to add to the whole story. The migraines keep me from doing strenuous activities that cause high levels of heartrate for extended periods. It's not worth an hour workout to end up in the ER getting a shot of medication so I can sit up, view light of be a mom. As for the thyroid, I mentioned it because it makes it harder to lose weight, not impossible, and cutting out certain foods can aggrevate the condition rather than help it.

  Not Very Likely, you are coming across as a pompous ass that needs to vent about something and feel better about yourself. I'm glad I started a thread this morning that makes you feel good about doing that, and I hope you are feeling better for the remainder of your day. Peace.

  Thanks Sylvia...I appreciate it. Note that I said I need to lose 20 pds. I should have titled it "I'd like to lose 20 pounds". It's by no means a health issue, a life or death situation, and I know people suffer from far bigger things than a little pudge on the waist and arms (where I carry it). I have a lot to be grateful for in life, and don't mean to sound pathetic. I think I just started getting comfortable enjoying life, and letting my hair down, and realize that if I don't get a control on it now, the older I get the harder it will be. I'm actually looking into a Zumba class...they look fun!

  Oh, Sylvia...I'm not complaining either! This board was a lifesaver for me, and I come here EVERY day, many times. I absolutely love it.

  I've found great friends, expanded my mind, been pushed to think, cried, laughed, been comforted, and been aggravated. It's a great place.

  Wow thanks notverylikely. I didn't know what sort of headache I get, or what my thyroid health means. Thanks for clearing that up. Since it's not that complicated, I'm sure I'll just drop the pounds immediately.
