i was 25 years a congregation member; ten years an elder; all told, up to 18 years an appointed man; a decade or so as a full-time minister; assembly speaker, with the pinnacle giving the public discourse at a district convention.. .

i stopped being an active member of the congregation in november 2010, but it had been brewing for several years, with the customary gradual drifting away - all the necessary mental gymnastics as my spiritual views changed and doubts set in; quitting the theocratic ministry school; ceasing to answer; sitting quietly off to the side.

i think the straw that broke the camels back was when family worship inevitably became family worship.

here in california, i have to get a smog, which is an emissions test in order to register my vehicle.

does your state require an emissions test?

a regular inspection of the vehicle, or none?

I live in Idaho too .. ada and canyon counties have emmissions .. where are you in the state... maksym

prior canyon county didn't .. but now they do it is twenty minutes away and there is no visible gaps anymore between the two, and everyone in canyon county drives into boise to work.. so it was much needed... the air quality still isn't great here at times

registration has gone up quite a bit recently too..

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

what is/are your regrets?

do u wish that you'd have pursued something or dealt differently with a situation?.

Tater-T

I was born in....... didn't get a collge education... or going into millitary service... instead of field service, which by the way I remember being told repeatedly, that know one would ever regret ... wasting your youth in Jehovah's Watchtower service...

Some of the things I've said to people regarding their faith...or their certain fate...

I regret that I never really have had a dream, of my own ... That my lifes ben on hold for nothing....
