We had family members that fed, helped, sheltered and hid the Jesse James gang in the 1860's and 1870's. I always thought that a cool piece of our family history.

The Mantan the lost tribe of Wales
by designs inwe have been researching our ancestry and so far on my father's side we have located the family land in wales in a little village called machynileth just off the coast of cardigan bay and our search dates to 1749. someday my son and i will visit our family-tree homesteads in europe.. legends develop in anyone's family and one of the curious legends was of an american native tribe called the mantan who lived near the ohio valley and wisconsin and later moved east to the dakotas.
what was interesting about the story of these peoples is that they were blue-eyed and some green-eyed with lighter skin and it was thought early on by anthropologists that some of their words were welsh.
it turns out they were not descendents of welsh explorers but they may have been the result of earlier encounters with europeans.

How do you think the Memorial should be celebrated? How are you going to spend it?
by MsGrowingGirl20 infor the first time, i realize that many people have different views about this.. some people believe that all should partake, others don't believe that there should be a memorial.. some are going to the hall, others are having their own celebrations still others are just going to be doing normal activities.. how do you think the memorial should be celebrated?
how are you going to spend it?.

This will be the second time for me not attending. My wife will be going to make her mom happy. But she wont be attending the one she's assigned to...has to get up early for work.
I don't care how people celebrate their religious ceremonies anymore. They could cut open a live pig and smear the blood and intestines all over their body for all I care.
I'll be at home enjoyig my night with the kids.

Reason
by dissonance_resolved inso as someone newly awakened, my thoughts have turned to "why didn't i see this sooner?
how could i be so blind?
" part of it is that i never realized anyone may have left due to differences with the doctrine.

I felt the same way. I was born in and baptized at 13 and left at 27. Some of us wake up faster than others. I wish I could have those years I wasted back but I wouldn't change the outcome, where I am now. Now, my kids will have the upbringing that I never had...Bdays, holidays ect.

But should I leave with a blaze or a fizzle?
Don't burn any bridges you can't rebuild with your family. Fu#K the rest of the borg drones. My mom and sister have told me it will be different now that I have left but I didn't get DF'd or DA'd. I faded and am learning not to go into details about how I now feel with them. Unless you don't care about hurting your relationships with the family, I would recommend fizzling out. If you go out with a bang you will just look like one of those "crazy" apostates you spoke of. Good luck.
