Could get interesting!
Happy Days!!!

Finally getting a shepherding call... or so I thought
by Zoos ina few weeks ago i got a visit from a sister from the old congregation.
she was our uber pioneer, fearless, regular and often accompanied by her husband, a ministerial servant.
she didnt know i lived here so it was a brief visit after she found out i had disassociated myself.. i got a knock at the door a few minutes ago and it was her husband this time.

Well done, Zoos! How great for you to be there for him! People on their way out need to know that help is available and they have not been abandoned. We are not islands unto ourselves, but social humans. Members are taught/brainwashed to believe they cannot survive without the WT. What a lie!

I am now inactive!
by Laika inthe last report i gave in was for the month of may, meaning as of today, i have missed 6 months of reports, and am officially inactive!
