as some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.

well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.

after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.

well.....what can i say...after lurking and much research and eventual signing up on this forum...i filled out my fs report for april with average hours and magazines, but i never went out in the ministry.. it feels odd, and i feel bad for filling out time that i knew i never did...i hate the idea of going out to people's door and telling them a lie...not sure how much longer i can do this for .

just had to vent!.

peace.

We know that your spiritually is determined by the amount of hours you put in each month...so I just put in average hours.

@maccauk11: thanks for your advice, leaving right now would be ideal, but it's not so easy for me because of family. I have friends outside the congregation, so if I loose those at the hall, I wouldn't have a problem...its just my family is the problem.

@billy: I've seen people drag out their time....for example, i worked with a brother in another hall (pioneer) who'd start at 7AM for street work, then breakfast, a few rv's, then off the to the bank, carry out business transactions, when he stops at the gas station we'd leave some magazines...then in the evening we'd grab a snack then do more street work...how he calculated it is beyond me, but said he did 8 hours...wish we were still in the same congregation, I'd just do one day in service for the month...

@heaven: I just fill out the slip so they think I'm an example in the congregation...on my day off from work, I come on here, do laundry and have a drink...i don't miss being out in the 100 degree temp buggin people.

@flipper: you're right man...each person has to see how they'd fade best...even though I've read experiences of other posters, the same thing won't work for everyone...cheers

Thanks for all your repsonses...today we have the special assembly day in my area....but instead I'm home posting on an apostate website

There was another poster here who uploaded the SAD (special assembly day) program....so I might just listen to it while ironing so when they talk about it at the meetings I can engage in "spiritual conversation"

You're correct, some of the folks just go thru the motions so as not to be bothered by the elders or have any problems with other family members...

@OnTheWayOut: Thanks for the encouragement...my fade will take longer than expected, but I'm working with what I've got...

@Gayle: There was a local needs part about brothers/sisters spending most of the morning at Starbucks! I really think that some folks don't really like to do FS, but have to for whatever reasons.

Why did Satan want to kill Jesus?

by FaithfulBrother in

why would satan have wanted to kill jesus if jesus' death would defeat satan and save mankind?

why would satan enter judas at the last supper and get judas to betray jesus, leading him to his death, if this death is what defeated satan?.

Great topic and points that have been brought out....never looked at it this way!
