try having a d/f kid. so many of the kids she grew up with are d/f too.
ok, listen, can you show empathy instead of turning it to you and your family? I'm not hating on you, or beating you up, but when someone's having a rough week, it's not kind to say "you think THAT...
yea, that is a good point, **DISCLAIMER** I AM NOT TRYING TO DISRESPECT YOU STARSHIP** but yea, i think that lauren is going through some hard times, the least all of us can do is try to offer supp...
haha i have no starship. i do feel bad. i've been d/f. i know what it does to the family.
did you even read dan's comment? he brought up a good point for us all to work on.
i felt her pain right away. just b/c i reacted the way i did SHOWS empathy cause i know the pain a d/f loved one or friend causes. excuse me for being human.
"try having a d/fed kid" means...."you aren't that bad off. Try having a d/fed kid". it's ok to admit you came across inappropriately. part of being human. and adult.
yeah i didnt either.
I was there when they announced it for me, and he was there when they announced it for him. That was rough, especially last week cause I don't think ANYONE suspected it. Shoot, I was blown away when I found out.
rough, isnt it?
Yeah, back in '94 right after high school. I was lieing about what was going on for over year. I had a real bad attitude. I didn't come back till after I was married in '99. I went to the assembly that my sister-in-law got baptized at and that triggered me to get my life in gear. I quit smoking that day, one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. It was no cake walk. I kept falling into pit after pit.
glad ur back tho! did u think its harder to first come into the truth, or be reinstatted?
I was raised in the truth so I can't really answer that. I was baptized at 12. It's funny though, when I was DF'd I never felt comfortable in the world. Their morals are just all screwed up. I was reinstated on a sunday too, that was interesting.
well i dont know u but I'm glad ur back. it gives hope for other young ones.
i found it harder to get reinstated b/c its easy to love God but not to hate wrong. and i wasnt raised by Godly standards even tho my parents did the best they could.
Thanks, good to be back. Yeah, when I was DF'd I picked up other bad habits that I never had before (drugs, smoking, immorality) so stopping them was very difficult. But once you put your mind to it, with Jehovah's help (because you can't do it alone) things came together.
man... it's so crazy that that can happen being raised in the truth. satan just has so many temptations, i'm sure once u start getting reeled in, ur forget all the stuff u learned. glad you're back buddy, excellent.
that has got to be the hardest thing to sit through (for yourself).
Yup, because you're sitting there filled with embarrasment and shame.
