Bethiepooh Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Good lazy Sunday afternoon, everyone! I am from Houston, Texas and have been a member "all" of my life (parents converted when I was a "tot"). I've had my ups and downs and thought I gained a testimony but, apparently, not strong enough, as I will soon have a disciplinary council and am pretty sure I will be ex'ed, which I will have to tell my active parents. Anywho, I joined because I have browsed the board before and thought it could be of some benefit/informal education on a few things. I look forward to spending time here (but not too much, of course ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanFool Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Welcome to the forum! You're going to a disciplinary council for not having a testimony? That seems a little harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucread Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I think he means he has done something he shouldn't have and will be facing a disciplinary panel that will decide if he should be excommunicated. Which is unfortunate... but hey! You can find your strength and return if your faith remains. Its the miracle of forgiveness. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I joined because I have browsed the board before and thought it could be of some benefit/informal education on a few things. This is a marvelous place for an informal education. So many items are covered that you will never hear in Church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethiepooh Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 You are correct, Lucread. If my testimony was as strong as it should be, I wouldn't have done the things I have done or have a desire to continue them. I was a hair away from being ex'ed and, if I mess up again, I will be. My pride wants to mess up but everyone else doesn't. Funny how pride wins sometimes over the entire world. FYI: I am female. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanFool Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think maybe I've watched too many FLDS documentaries. And I'm just not surprised by things like I used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maya Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Welcome to the forum! I ahve many friends in teh Church who ahve been exed. Yes the worst is the pride... it is difficult for some to keep active when exed, but that is the best way back! Exing is a way to slow down a bit and think, revalue life. Way back may be diofficult, but it is worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I knew this! But I'm another female and we can sense these things. I'm not female and I thought the name Bethiepooh was a bit of a give away. Sort of like the names Pam and Suzie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
