I agree that you do not want to give them the control over your life because they controlled it for too many years. It takes courage to allow yourself the control over what you choose to do. Everytime you take that control back you will feel stronger and stronger. We faded also and we do not answer the door when they come by and do not return their calls. I think they have gotten the hint because we have not heard anything at all from them this year.

Happy Birthday Minimus, I hope you have a great time. We went there years ago and did some snorkling it was so beautiful. There was a place we snorkled but I can't remember the name of the place but they had cages with blue birds in them and when we walked by the on birds cage it said very loudly F**k You! Maybe you will run across this crazy bird!

Dale, I am so sorry for your loss. It has to be so difficult after spending more than 50 years together. I started reading Jim's book but haven't finished it. I was looking back on your posts and it is unfortunate that he didn't get to post much because we would have enjoyed hearing more from him. My thoughts are with you. Hugs!

Welcome Fader77, thank you for posting this letter and I am glad to hear you are studying to get your masters and then PhD. I think it is great to hear that many out there are ignoring the GB and getting higher education.

Way to go Quelly. I can't imagine management will tolerate that type of behavior so it will be interesting to see what happens the next time you are in.

There are going to be a lot of elders upset over this. First they say the CO's have to retire at 75 and now the COBE can't be over 80, what is the next step they are going to take to get rid of the older men?

A couple of years before we stopped going my husband refuse to give donations except for a little money here and there for literature. He saw some things he didn't like.
I would sit at the CA and they would give a very high figure for the cost of the assembly and I could never figure out why they needed such a large sum of money. People need to start asking questions or at least think about why they are asking for so much money.
What do they need all of this money for? It is a BIG SCAM!

I personally like both Mike & Kim and watch every video they make and look forward to their next video. I think what they are doing has helped many and they put themselves out there while others would never take the time and do the research they do for their videos. I do not agree at all with the statement about Mike drinking. Although they both have done happy hours, I have never noticed them going overboard with alcohol. It is one thing to give a suggestion but another thing to attack someone's character.

This is my first post
by Make Lemonade ini wanted to express appreciation to the members of this forum.
there are resources here that are deep.

Welcome Make Lemonade, I missed this post because I haven't been on much lately. It is wonderful to hear of someone taking a stand and doing the right thing even if it means losing almost everyone in your life. It takes courage and I am glad your wife is out with you, it sure does make it much easier to have the support of your mate. Your story is very interesting and I hope everthing works out for the victim and their family. The best thing you can do is get involved in other activities and meet new people because it is the best revenge when we live a happy and productive life. My husband and I came out 23 months ago together.
