by doublelife init's been a while since i've posted because i've been so busy looking for a full-time job so that i could leave my husband.

BabaYaga: Thanks.
Outaservice: He's a jw. At home, he's a jerk. To everyone else, he's nice and funny. He's going to get a lot of sympathy from people in the congregation when I leave him.
Scott77: Thanks.

It's been a while since I've posted because I've been so busy looking for a full-time job so that I could leave my husband. Well, I've finally got one today. Actually, it's the same job I've had for about a year but someone else just put in their notice to quit so my manager finally gave me full-time status. And I'm glad because I like where I work. I was nervous about trying to find another place. All that stress and searching is finally over.
Now, I get to look forward to more stress as I find a place to live, leave my husband, and go through a divorce. Plus, I'm trying to figure out the best way to break the news to my mom. She was emotionally abused by my dad so I'm hoping she'll understand but I just won't know until I talk to her. She likes my husband as does everyone in my family. They'll all probably be on his side especially since they just found out a couple of months ago that I haven't been to a meeting in eight months and they know I'm not going back.
This Thursday will be my 10 year baptism anniversary. I really wish I could df but I won't since my membership is the only thing keeping my mom from shunning me.
I'm starting to meet and become social with more people. Last night, I performed in an actor's showcase. Afterwards, I went drinking with a couple of actor's from my acting class. It was great and kind of surreal. I was looking at them drinking and smoking and laughing. You know...having fun. And then I thought about the fact that I was hanging out with them having fun too(but I wasn't smoking). I'm not sure if I can really describe how I felt but I don't think they realized how much being there with them meant to me. I was able to relax. I didn't have to have this emotional barrier up because of the mentality that they're "worldly" and that they're going to die at armageddon. They don't know that I'm a former cult member though. I might tell more people in the class but gradually, not now and not everyone at once. But two weeks ago I did tell my teacher so now she knows. She said that of all the people that have came to her with their problems that I win. She's so emotional that she almost started crying but she held it together.
Well, that's what's going on with me. Even though I haven't posted in a while I'm still on here reading everyone else's threads when I get the chance. But, it is nice to finally have other things to do besides being glued to this board.

How many you you hated to wait in the car while someone was on a good call!
by life is to short insomething i have not heard before on this board is waiting in the car out in service or any of the woman who were elders wives waiting on their husbands while in an elders meeting.. i was 24 years old when i got married to an older man he was 41 and had been an elder for about 12 years.
i truly loved my husband when we got married.
i truly loved him like crazy.

I, too, didn't mind waiting in the car. The main reason being that it meant I didn't have to talk to anyone. The secondary reason is because I have a thyroid condition that caused me to be extremely tired all the time. I'm under treatment now and am doing fine. But, at the time I didn't realize what was wrong with me and I wasn't taking any medicine. The whole day I was out in service I was so lethargic that everything was a blur. I couldn't even get involved with conversations in the car group. I would just listen to people talk and it felt like I was in a dream. I was very disconnected. Maybe if I had a job with insurance instead of pioneering I wouldn't have had to go through that.

Thanks for everyone's responses.
Scott77: "Reading the above, I think elders are not enjoying this kind of work." The elder who left the voice mail didn't sound too enthusiastic to call me. It sounded more like he had a script he was reading from and he was trying to read it fast and get the call over with.

He called at 8:44 a.m. to invite me to the meeting. The meeting starts at 10:00 a.m. If I did decide to go he didn't give me much notice to get ready. But I guess that doesn't matter. He did his job. I didn't answer the phone because I didn't recognize the number so he left a voice mail. He said that they are having the CO visit today. That must be why he called. A few minutes later he called my husband's phone and he answered. At first, he felt guilty and wanted to go. But then he realized what time it was and he knew he wouldn't have time to get ready. So brother elder can now check us off his list and report back to brother CO that he did his job and just leave out the fact that he didn't give the people he called enough notice to get to today's meeting.

Watch the speech in the first 3 minutes of this Michael Jackson Video: Childhood Stolen

I remember watching this speech when I was a teenager. At the time I thought, "How dare he say things like that. He knows what the truth is." Now, I watch it and it makes me so sad. I can actually relate to it instead of being critical. I've always been a big fan of mj. Even when I was at my most brainwashed I had a weird fascination with him. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he da'd? I could never understand why he gave up "the truth" for his career. Now I do.
