Hi Posters

Could someone give me the latest on COs and whether they are disappearing or not?

Please feel free to post recent links I may have missed.

Hi Posters

Something has really been bothering me a lot lately.

In a nutshell I faded about 4 years ago. The cong I faded from was not my home congregation and did not know me very well. I had two shepherding calls to save me life within weeks and nothing more (I consider myself luckier than some to get that.)

One of my best friends a well respected elder contacted me after I left. After telling him I would not return he said this meal would be the last time I would ever see him again.

My most intimate friends stopped returning calls and made it clear that past friendships counted for nothing. I hate to bore you all but really needed to vent. So let me get to my point. I have read 100s if not 1000s of posts and many of you say that you managed to keep in touch with people despite being disfellowshipped or disassociated. Was that because you were such good friends before? Maybe you were just a nicer person?

My life is so lonely now despite socialising thru www.meetup.com every week I have nobody's name to use in case of a medical emergency.

ANY comments will be appreciated.

Does marriage work

hi posters.

in the uk 50% of marriages fail.

maybe around half of those who stay married are not really that happy.. .

All you happy marriage posters make me sick (in the nicest way possible)

I have never met so many happy 25%ers!

Excepions to the rule only serve to make my statement true.

With a 75% failure rate does getting married make sense?
