Now that he's been called out by at least 1 other person in the congregation, maybe he'll start to own his actions and do some repenting of his own. But I doubt it. More likely, he'll step up his fire and brimstone game...and more rational people like you will walk away from it. <br />I understand that fierce protectiveness all too well, having threatened great bodily harm to more than one of my asinine family members for putting my babies at risk.

My instinct is to wish you hadn't had to go through it but when I read how much good has come out of it for you, it's so worth it.<br /><br />Good for you, Mother Tigress!Tiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511522028218347560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-7552060030284627672010-11-23T00:35:45.949-06:002010-11-23T00:35:45.949-06:00Good for you!

Or maybe its his colon.. I just can't get enough of wondering :)<br /><br />More than anything I love how you've turned it around. I'll try to keep this story short (but you know me..): A few months ago a friend had an insane, awful flea infestation at her place because of wild animals living in the walls and attic. Total slum. It was right after had just healed from having a broken foot and not having a car and living on a 3rd floor walkup. She was so distraught and called me hysterical. She wanted to know what she could have done that her karma was so awful. Why was she being punished? <br /><br />I told her I thought G-d loves her so much that he knew she would never leave her dungeon shithole of an apartment without a swift kick in the ass. He so badly wanted her to fulfill her potential by living someplace in the city - someplace with people - friends to make, places to go, places to eat, instead of a crappy run-down impoverished town, that he put her in the only terrible situation he knew would get her to leave. <br /><br />She quickly moved out of her old place and into the city and called me up to tell me she felt like she was finally living - that she had been on hold for the 2 years she was living in the old place. What had taken her so long, she wondered?<br /><br />And that's kinda what I hear you saying about this church. You wanted out, you weren't feeling right there - and maybe G-d knew you needed a push to get somewhere where your spiritual needs were really being met, ya know?<br /><br />Or maybe I'm just full of crap and should mind my own damn business :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-38868031806989089092010-11-22T21:58:56.870-06:002010-11-22T21:58:56.870-06:00I loved the "first flash of mother tigress&qu...I loved the "first flash of mother tigress"!

Other women hoping to become mothers could feel more supported, both in your town and in the wider social circles emanating from it. And I love the image of you as a fierce mother tigress! There's nothing you can't do!<br /><br />I cracked up at your mom's phrase "blow it out his ditty bag" and I want to write that one down. =)Meredithnoreply@blogger.com
