Journal / New Congregation: Update 1 View full thread →

Hey that's great man! Being spiritually independent of my family was a big boost for me, personally. How old are you now?

I turned 27 last month, so it's about time I was truly independent from my parents. I think it'll be good being in a congregation where very few people know them, and they can get to know me as me...

very true about just being your father's son. sometimes when you grow up in a congregation, people forget that you are grown up or it's hard to have your own identity. And the truth means so much ...

yeah i agree with this. a new hall is sometimes a chance to get a fresh start without your parents or other "crutches"/

However, on the flip side, when you move to a new hall, people have to adjust to you, learn about you, and there's always the chance that they will pre-judge you based on what they've heard and/or know about you from the past. i'm not saying it SHOULD be like that, but sometimes it happens.
