awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.

and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.

i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

Yes I see that about you. I see the fine results you get with a light touch and being able to walk amongst the English so to speak!

Thats an old Amish phrase btw in case you are wondering what the heck?

Ha ha....

I keep my sense of humor - thats how!

No, seriously speaking, I am just considered very weak and very hurt from an event they all know was wrong that happened in our area.

People are extending me a long line of credit due to that. I think the hope is that I will heal but in the meantime I learned the real truth so there will be no healing in the direction of going back.

There HAS been healing in realizing this is a two bit organization full of hocus pocus and in getting over my shock and taking a deep breath and seeing who I can rescue while simultaneously using their own policies against them!

Those of you who have had to serve as elders have my deepest admiration and sympathy. It is a hell on earth job if you are trying to be a good one.

Nope....I am a woman. But I have been or am the daughter/sister/wife/mother of them.

I'll tell you what else they do during afternoon shepherding calls....usually the C.O, and the COBE or another well placed elder make these calls. In between. they gossip about the other elders and the rest of the Hall and that is as they say.....when the "real" business gets done.

It is NOT at the elders meeting on Friday night.

I almost gave up today except for a girl her tried to throw herself infront of two cars.............

by umbertoecho in

this may sound insane but i literally have blood on my hands as i have just come home from a counselling session that went wrong...i wanted to collate all that has happened and record it...hospital policy is against it.

i said "what am i alive for then if not to tell the truth" she tut tutted and i walked out sadly in despair.. when i got to the ground floor there was a young girl screaming her head off.

she was afraid, that is all she was...........afraid.

Juliette you have touched us all today.

Thank you for being you and I just want to add that I was reading your story and thinking how perfect each thing you said to Riley was.

Sometimes things align with such precision that it takes our breath away.

That is what happened today between you and that lost young girl. No one could have done better than you did.

You like music I see...

heres a line from a song I sing to a special little boy in my life - only today I am thinking this applies to you,

.....how wonderful life is while your in the world.....

15 years ago ceo scott mcnealy said those famous words; you have zero privacy anyway.

everyone has a phone with a camera.

every day someone leaks a sex video.
