surprised me that he actually followed up on his word and called .

it will be strange after four yrs.

to have them in our house .my husband was not happy to hear it will be two brothers coming over, because he really does not want to feel we are being counseled .

I have not been to a meeting for 5 years after being in for 25. Not once,ever did a "elder"(what in the hell does that really mean anyway) "MS"

"Friend" try to inquire about me, oops sorry maybe 1 friend once. I am so hurt and crushed I don't know if I'll make it......Wrong..... I would have

DA'd(or whatever there little term is) along time ago, but we had several witnesses working for us that were pretty critical to our business success,

but guess what? There pretty much all gone now and I could care less if they DF me Da me whatever. Please come to my door and request a visit with me and my husband. It would make my weekend!!! WOKEUP1

Has Your Growth As A Person Been Stunted Because Of Being A Witness?

i think that in many areas, that just might be the case.. what do you think?.

Absolutely. The way it "stunted" my growth is because really you didn't have to make decisions for yourself,

pretty much everything was decided for you. At first I think i resisted that, but after several years I became weak.

That is one of the biggest regrets I have in allowing myself and my children to become involved in this religion,

I became weak. I regret daily that I was weak and did not protect my children(now grown). After 25 yrs. of being

weak let me tell you its no easy chore to get your strength back. But its not to late and I am determined!! wokeup1

I need you help! When I was a child my dad exposed himself at work, but older elder just told me it never happened.

by life is to short in

ok i came from a very crazy family.

lots of abuse.

my dad exposed himself to me from the age of three until i left home at 18. my dad did lots of gross things but that is not the jest of this post.. one of the things my dad did that i clearly remember was exposing himself in the elevator at work to woman twice and he almost got fired for it.

I once had an employee steal thousands and thousands of dollars from me and than after he was convicted of a felony

and served time he went to work for my biggest competitor. The damage he did was undeniable, for a year and a half

I have told many people he victimized me and contiunes to. I now am at a point where I'm tired of hearing myself say this.

It doesn't serve any purpose and keeps you locked to the past. Make the most of your life now. Live well, Love well, shine.

You really don't need anyones validation of the abuse you went through as a child and spending alot of energy in that pursuit

is also keeping that abuse alive. Free yourself, its time and YOU deserve it.
