I saw that earlier and laughed so hard my boyfriend came into the room to see what I was watching :) I think my favourite was "Jesus blah blah blah, Jesus blah blah blah!"

That height was more common than below-the-knee in my cong before I left, kaik (at least in the summers). I remember seeing many that length at a convention and everyone shaking their heads, but by the next year almost everyone under the age of forty was wearing them to the DC...

I was a poll worker
by Hortensia ini worked the election yesterday, here in california, poll worker, from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. it was fun and interesting, went pretty smoothly, nice day.
it was very depressing to come home, look at the news, and find that the republicans now control the senate.. .

Magnum: Nope, studies have actually found the opposite.
A meta-study of 64 studies conducted in 2009 found that "minimum wages may simply have no effect on employment" or that "minimum-wage effects might exist, but they may be too difficult to detect and/or are very small."
Another meta-study, conducted by unrelated researchers and soon to be published, looked at 27 minimum wage studies published since 2000 and found "no statistically significant negative employment effects" of raising it.
Source: the Center for Economic and Policy Research
Besides which, the current reality is that minimum-wage jobs are no longer just starting points, and that, regardless of character, a lot of people are currently unable to work their way out of them. Much as I wish these facts weren't true, current policies need to reflect current realities, not the way things *should* be.

Happy to hear you really are good with it, then! For all that breakups are difficult, if it really is the right thing to do and you're moving on to a better place in your life, the feeling of relief can be wonderful I broke up with my ex when I realized how emotionally abusive he was being, and the day after I felt like I could breathe again for the first time in ages.

Interesting Religious Conversation with my Daughter...
by garyneal inyesterday, my wife was getting ready for the kh and told the kids that they had to get ready too.
i figured, oh well, they're heading to the hall at least i can get the time i need to catch up on some house work and what not.
before i know it, the wife gave up and allowed the kids to stay.

I responded to a factual error.
FWIW, this was quite apparent to me as soon as I read your first comment... not that I'm in complete agreement with your most recent comment, but it was the first one in which you weren't merely correcting a misrepresentation.

My condolences, cognac. Don't forget that the Internet is full of great resources in times of need, if kittens make you smile.

I remember not being allowed to have posters on the walls, no matter how much I begged, because 'idol worship' - what do you want to bet Caleb posters will soon start making the rounds?

My Relief
by Smart inwhat a massive relief!
thank god i have just found this site the other day!
i don't know where to begin!

Hello! I would have to agree with cofty - make sure you think through putting down so much information about yourself. Anyone who's at all familiar with your story would be able to identify you off of what you've posted here, and merely visiting this site is enough to get you in huuuuge trouble, if not disfellowshipped.
That being said, it is lovely to begin to feel that relief, isn't it? This is an awesome site to visit when you need a break, a great resource for getting out, and an understanding place to cope once/if you leave!

Find What Your Social Status Was in the Congregation
by Mary inever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?
the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.
1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

My mom is firmly a seven - my dad isn't a dub and never will be, and that completely ruins your social life. Also, despite her zeal and true belief, years back she pissed off some of the wrong people and that follows her to this day. (She switched congs to get away from them and, several times, made a new friend only to have that friend drop her when one of the women she'd pissed off starting hanging out with the new friend.)
I started off a seven but was up to a six at one point, even though I avoided service as much as I could, because I'd give such great answers at the meetings and managed to befriend some of the pioneer sisters and the daughter of the congregation's richest couple. Fell down to an eight as soon as I started university, never bothered trying to recover status because I was already mostly out by that point.

one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?
by MissFit inwe talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.
i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.
i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

MissFit: same thing for me, if you swap out "lurking here" for "posting here" You get so used to that language that changing it can take a lot of effort!
