Any former Cinti branch twits?or am I the only one?!

They fellowshipped with us at the last ROA, and in Cinti.Think they are still in Cinti,but they stopped going long before we did after she had back surgery.They were the nicest people and a real cute couple.

Sorry,error on my post.It was not '01 when I went,it was '03,my son was born in '01 so it had to be '03 as he was able to run up the stairs from the basement where children's fellowship was.I had asked about LCM's STS after 9/11 and got a "that guy was crazy" comment.I want to add though that the people who were our friends in Twig I would love to find and chat with.Any former ohio or northern kentucky followers here?

My husband and I stopped going in '99 because he was tired of working full time to support a family of 5,while being told we had to go to every STS to REALLY get blessed since we were living only a couple hours away,on top of 3 HF meetings per week and "fun nights" on fridays so we could move the word.We were exhausted!School nights are not good nights for meetings that weren't over until 9-9:30.I had to make sure dinner and homework and baths were done beforehand,and heaven forbid we miss a meeting.That was heresy!I still felt the pull for 2 more years and in '01 I went back? for a brief time.When I asked what happened to LCM and why he wasn't Prez,I wasn't given any info.Iasked my son to google him and that's when the lawsuit was uncovered.At the same time I was being confronted because I didn't want to drive 45 minutes each way to meetings on school days.When I was there,everyone acted like I was "The Debil!" and my kids hated going.Since my commitment level was lacking as far as they were concerned I just stopped going.It didn't seem worth it to go since we spent twice as much time driving as we spent at the meeting.Even the New Years Eve "party" was just a fellowship meeting.That was the last time I made the drive and I honestly don't regret my choice.

Perhaps I should've mentioned the fact that my husband and I got in in 1994 and were in until 1998.We took all the classes except the a.c.on the w.a.p Some of the tc we fellowshipped with were m&a not long after we joined.So we got shuffled around often.Guess it was not long after we left that martindale fell apart and took the ministry along for the ride.I even went back after rivenbark was made prez,but when I asked what happened to martindale,no one said a word!I started looking for info on the internet and I found this site.No matter what innies say about people like us,at least we were smart enough to get out!!

Hello all!Long time browser,first time poster.Seems like many of the "friends" you make in the way are conditional.So long as you stay the course and follow the leader,they love you like family because,of course, earthly family has no precedence over believers.I'd love to know how B@B and R@ta F@rt are,they were two who dared to question,and did not always follow the rules.
