I started a thread on here, almost a year ago now:
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,138485,138485Basically it was me in a panic state wondering how on Earth I can avoid serving a mission, even though I was quite far along the process, already having filled in my mission papers.
To put it briefly, a year on, I still haven't been made to go on a mission. :) Infact, I've essentially ran away from home. Nobody in my ward (even my parents) have found out where I live yet (it's been a while already). No doubt when they do they'll start sending members to my house and missionaries to talk to me and they'll send all my details to the new ward I'm supposed to be in, which is something I'll probably come back on here and complain about if it ever happens.
Most of you told me to "just say no". Unfortunately, I still haven't had the courage to do that. I don't want to ruin my life, but I'm now living away from my abusive parents and I am a lot happier now, and not on a mission like I thought I'd be, and I'd just like to thank all of you that gave me advice last year. :) I really do appreciate everything you all said, because I had absolutely nobody to talk to in real life about the situation. I feel so much happier with my life now, and that's what it's all about ultimately in my opinion.
