  i don't want to seem like a jerk.

  i know full well economic times are not the greatest.

  there's no shame in struggling and staying with your family until you're back on your feet.

  Vanderhoven7; If the child is working and have a goal it's great to be there for them, cost of living is a lot different from when I was young. It's rough for young ones especially if they were raised in the borg....My son a project manager for a large electric firm, but paying 2000 a month for rent makes it hard to save for a down payment to buy a home.

  mayushil: I also live in a part of USA where median rent is outrageous so I came up with a plain for my son. I'am investing in real estate, I will take care of the down payment and we split the mortgage payment. After 3-5 years and hopefully property value continue to increase, we can sell if the time is right or he can buy me out and keep the property.

  she's a full on active jw and actively shunning me like the rest of the family are.

  The old saying, "you know it's the truth". Why would any sane person leave or not believe the truth???? Come back to the meetings so you can understand our truth.

  My rules for my sons before they moved out (in their 20's) First I made a contract, outline terms, expectations, time limitations and all aspects of sharing space that potentially impact others. Rent will be paid, even if rent is low,token". Because I was single raising my sons I guess the figured, humm a nice pad for three single men, until I told them no overnight guest, go too a motel..I made sure they realize an end must be kept in mind, staying here is not indefinite.

  How can Scientology get away with harassing former members???? I thought JW's were bad but these people are off the chart in silencing ex members.

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok, the bible is a fascinating book of fairy tales, so we move on..e. zolfagharifard, some guy states "humans will be very different creatures in just 1000 years from now due to climate change,artificial intelligence and genetic mutations are all set to transform our bodies in drastic ways.

  a mixture of biology and machine on the inside.

  this is only 1000 years from now, what the hell will humans look like in 100000 years????

  by minimus in

  that's a comment i heard from an elder i haven't seen in over a decade, yesterday.

  i mentioned it all on my other thread.

  i responded that i knew of no one that was crawling back to the meetings and gave him an incredulous hearty chuckle.

  I'am sure ex elders receive a different welcome. I was told I could be reinstated in 6 months, of course my family members are all elders in that congregation. I believe it takes longer for women on their knees crawling back.
