I only post about once a year, but i just chatted with you, Monkey, for about 2 hours, and you're a pretty cool cat (kitty?) Heh, heh. I just had to pop in and say it. Your post really has to make one think about how backwards that cult really is! I appreciate you taking the time to let me vent, Monkey. Thanks

Ok, maybe not a real scandal, but this really bugs the hell out of me! In short, the Kingdom Hall I went to as child and teen, is being sold to a church. My mother (still active) informed me of this. When I told her it was entirely hypocritical, and in my opinion a blatant showing of apostacy. She gave me some canned "it's a decision up to society" crap. I asked her if I sold a building to this church to move into, would she have a problem with that? She had no answer. Obviously "the society", doesn't care that this church is part of "the world", that I was staunchly told to steer clear of as a kid. It's clear that they're just interested in selling it to whomever is interested. On top of this, people are going to assume that the dubs, have all converted to this other faith! None of this fazed my loveable (but brainwashed), mother. Does anyone else feel this is just a bit two-faced?

Thanks to everyone for the responses, especially Scully's. They've helped me to make the decision to become an organ donor. I even liked FrankyFourVests, though I'm guessing he's already donated some of his brain to marajuana research! "Constantly disagree with me to make me feel better???". What the hell are you talking about man? :D LOL

Whoops! meant "mormon". honest! Was I from Ogdensburg, you ask Dazed? I'd rather not get too specific about the congregations I've been in, but I was in fact one of those "tall mormon looking guys". We young "brothers" used to well-travel the state looking for marriage mates! LOL
But in the end, we always wound up playing basketball! One of those my congregation vs. your congregation things... -

WOW, have I been waiting for this thread! I've been out of the "society", for about 10 years(TEN FRICKIN' YEARS!). Desperately seeking true friends that can identify with what I went through growing up. Currently living in the Pulaski area (No mans land). Anyone interested in getting to know me, feel free to email. [email protected] And yes, I was born in 72! P.S. Hey RevMalk, what's with calling people "moron looking guys"! I was one of those guys... ;)
