a few weeks ago i posted about about how my parents have been asking about wether or not my card has been sent to my "new congregation" since i moved out in july.
up until now, i have been stalling not knowing wether or not i wanted to just come out and say "i have not been going to meetings" or not take any action at all.
well someone left an interesting piece of advice on my thread that i have been contemplating doing.that maybe, perhaps i should just have my card sent to a congregation that isn't anywhere near the actual city i live in.
Blondie Said :
"Aren't you worried what your mother will say when she finds out you are "living with" your boyfriend?"
StillA Said:
I neverthought about that Blondie.
Are you kidding me???? You've never, ever, thought about what mommy and daddy might say if you moved in your boyfreind??? You're delusional.
I don't understand why you even come here asking for advice.
which i think you guys call a fader...so far i'm pretty much got away with it.
my close family are in the truth love them to bits and i seriously dont want to alienate them- my story is a positive one, they have accepted that i dont go to meetings anymore and although they arent pleased they accept my viewpoint.
i am not a bitter ex-witness, i enjoyed my time meeting people while i was a witness although a lot shunned me after and a few years before i went 'public'
Welcome Polished Glass!
i always assume that people with real pics for their avatars are pics of that poster.
obviously that's not always the case.
i'm curious about whose pic is really them.

i was petrified that day.
i felt nervous and slightly sick that morning, so i couldn't even eat breakfast.. leading up to that baptism day ( i was only 16 ), i didn't want to tell anyone about it.
maybe because i came from a cold-hearted congregation where the other kids my age didn't like me (i was too serious), i didn't want anyone else to know.. i felt relief after the dunking was finally over.
I don't remember.
your absolute favorite song of all time.
no lists.

i can't help it... i love the freakin' place!.
i know it's insanely expensive, has long lines and possibly, no, actually is quite obnoxious.
i don't care.
I love the chai latte and the peppermint mocha. But those are my treats on Fridays. I'd be broke if I bought one everyday. Mon-Thrusday I get a tall coffee of of the day. It's only $1.52. And I usually add a little non-fat milk and cinnamon.
i have been researching similar religions (christadelphians, church of god, sdas.
mormons, bible students) and just posted a new section at http://www.jwfacts.com/index_files/similar.htm.
below are comments from mormons and x mormons that i found on the internet.
I am married to an 'in-active' mormon. His entire family are Mormon. In my opinion, they are very much like the JW's, not so much in doctrine, but how they view others outside the church. On the 'outside' they seem like just another christian religion but after 11 years of getting to know my mormon family I see the same things I saw as JW. Intolerance of other religions. arrogance, control every aspect of your life, they are very secretive, ignorant and cultish. (sorry if I offend anyone, but this is just what I see with my family.) I am treated as an outcast because I will not convert.
man, this is going to suck.
i really don't see why a company of less than 50 employees needs a big fvvving system to handle the way everything flows.
i could fix it all by eliminating one employee who buggers everything up within the company.. i know the wts uses an erp system, but they have more than 20 people working for them.. what are your experiences with erp?.
Oh man, I remember when the company I used to worked for did that. It was a horrible, horrible transition. *shudders*
We were also a small company and the ERP system made everything way to complicated and increased our paperwork. The company shut down a little over a year later.
were you "fortunate" enough to be part of the "in crowd" or were you a spectator??
?
The other teenage girls in my congregation hated me. I was 'too weired' for them becuase I made my own clothes and listened to different music. What really sucked for me when I was a teen was that I had no friends my age in the congregation, and I wasn't allowed to associate with my 'worldy' friends outside of school. I was soooooo bored on the weekends.
