  hello this is my first post and i wanted to introduce myself so here goes.. my name is lainey, and i have not been to the meetings for about 4 years now.. i am 28 and work as a doctor in a big city university hospital as a sho.. also for my sins, i am cassies little sis, and i am staying with him for a little while, as i am signed off sick for the next month with a stress related disorder.. after the death of my older bro and my dad within the past few months, i started suffering from terrible nightmares, most of them connected in some way to my witness upbringing.. me and cassie have talked for some length and he suggested that i spend some time having a look on this site and meeting others who have had similar issues to face in life.. i hope you are all are better listeners than cassie, who tends to fall asleep when i am in the middle of talking to him.

  (brothers!!!

  ) btw he hates being called cassie lol.. anyway i am not a big talker, so i probably wont post a lot, however i am going to scout around for a while.. thanks .

  People will forever judge and condemn those who are different. It's sad but I'm afraid, all too true. It sickens me to be ousted from being a Dub and then to be Disfellowshipped all over again by some that basically remain witnesses. You eventually find your own "family" of individuals to make up for all of those lost and those you continue to lose. A VERY "Special" family, one that you build as you continue your journey in life. I'm glad that you are part of mine Mind!!

  my brother went to bethel as a teenager and was disfellowshipped and sent home.

  he tried to toe the line and after 6 months the local congregation recommended reinstatement.

  bethel didn't like that idea.

  Troubled waters! Need quick answer on this one!

  a friend of mine in an undisclosed province of this great country canada is undergoing some duress -- it seems the elders from her old kh keep phoning her/leaving her messages with ultimatums and places they feel she should meet her, when really (and astonishly enough) she just wants to be left alone, having felt this way since a divorce in the spring of this year no longer attending meetings.

  my query - is there any form of cease and desist order, or restraining oder she could get that would make any further attempts to contact her a breach of some sort, resulting in lawful punishment?.

  oh and by the way, hello old friends, and happy birthday valis - you rawk

  i can't for the life of me get the search feature here to find the "post your picture here:" thread.. there aren't that many photos of me that actually exist.

  but last weekend i did a job for the condo where i live, and they documented my small effort.. if some one could post a link to the "post your picture here:" thread, i'll put the link there.. otherwise i'll go all narcissistic and post it here.. .

  I'm only 2 hours away from Orlando, I would love to meet you!! Keep me posted. I will be away on business till the 3rd-20th but home after that. We could do a Birthday/Apostafest!! My Birthday is the end of the month. I've never had a B~day party. It would be great if we could get a group together and have drinks and dinner. I think we could round up quite a few to come!! Check your PM.
