i celebrated halloween and my birthday and the elders have been told.
husband told the elders i've called the religion a cult.
they said i'm "heading down a road to be an apostate.
You seem strong, decisive and optimistic. Your plan to move to a warm state and start a fresh with your kids seems really good. It was very amicable of you to invite your hubby even though you want a divorce. This shows you want the kids to have a relationship with their father.
Well done

not all of these questions apply to me, so i will just leave an "-" for any which are irrelevant.
tell us a little about yourself and your family.i am a young adult in my 20's with family still in.
currently, it is totally impossible for me to leave due to family & business ties, as well as other reasons, so i am just lying low at the moment.
Thank you Just kidding,
I hope you can fade soon. Kate xx
we've had a few comments lately that show that people don't seem to fully comprehend the way moderation works or the point of it.. if someone point something that other people don't like or agree with then that is a difference of opinion.
live with it.. if someone posts something that is crude, insulting, contains bad language etc.
then it violates the posting guildelines and can and should be removed.. now, sometimes we won't immediately notice a post that should be removed.
Understood, thanks Simon. I pm'd you and made comments to the poster. You dealt with it well. Great job. Kate xx

cognac,
It sounds like they're confused how to move forward, or undecided amoungst the body, that's why they are involving your father and the CO. You have left and are moving on wonderfully. I hope this nonsense doesn't get in the way of you celebrating Xmas with your kids.
Go for it, power to you girl.

i've been thinking about brother morris' statement at the zone meeting this past weekend that inactive ones are bloodguilty.
bloodguilt is defined as "guilty of murder or manslaughter.
" murder is #1 on the list of disfellowshipping offenses- all they would have to do is change the wording from "murder" to "bloodguilt" and suddenly there you have grounds to disfellowship anyone who's inactive.
I can't see WT Df'ing inactive ones. They want to keep the numbers up and as many have already said they want to keep the money rolling in. It's just manipulation, so some inactive ones who still believe will actually become more active. this stuff works, that's why they keep doing it.

in honour of jgnat i have completed her template:.
is your wife still an active witness?
no thankfuly - she has only been to the memorail, a convention and the kh once this year and has done none of that for at least 6 months.
Thank you Fraz that was interesting. Kate xx
my wife went out of curiosity.
she is out enough to where it doesn't affect our marriage, but she keeps it a secret from her family and others.
she is beginning to understand what it means to give over your thinking to an organization, and once she works that out there will be no going back.. so she went to the branch visit.
That was a nice text.....it's nice to see you don't resent your parents....good example.

i'm just bored.
i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.
i like posting while on active duty.
My son is sitting right there too. He is being forced to go by his dad. Hopefully he will leave soon.
Doh, you are there for a reason. Talk to your parents if you can't take anymore.

one of two things will happen.
i'll get disfellowshipped and never have to worry about being "told on" again for living a normal life, or; they won't do anything.. either way, it's freeing and i feel relieved... it will be sad if i get disfellowshipped but i've come to terms and made peace with it as much as can be expected.
it's a huge weight to have off.. was told on a week ago and haven't heard anything.
AB....she's been gone for over a year and she wants to celebrate birthdays and holidays.....it's out of her control now. But at least cognac and the kids are happy having fun.

this was pointed out by throwingawayjehovah.

so who was first? Or did they come out around the same time?-Baltar447
I think they came out the same time and the GB are ruled by the same person as the mormon leaders. It's just one big cult with differing beliefs. Completely wacko. Kate xx
