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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 standar...

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 i...
