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 ...

Yes, for that reason I can't wait to get out of the hall Donovan's grown up in. I'm merely "Donovan's wife" there and he's just his father's son.

Perfect example of this: I walked into the hall last night alone (Donovan was sick) and the first thing at least three people said to me was: 'Donovan's not coming?' It's nice that they asked about me, right? I'm not freaking invisible.
