no one in my family will consider anything but cremation so there will not be a "final resting place" for me
Same with me...no final resting place.
My last wishes are very simple. I want the song "Imagine" to be played while my ashes are scattered in water. And from there, I will know where to go
But if i had to think of an epitaph, it would be "Imagine..."
you know how there are somethings that give you so much pleasure or joy?
it doesn't have to be anything amazing or huge, but for some reason it makes you so happy for those few moments.
some of mine are drinking coffee in the morning with my best friend at work, and the smell of an open fire (it reminds me of being a young child at my grandparents' house).
chickpea, your story is SO sweet.
yes, tiggers are wunnerful things indeed

At this point in time a small joy is getting on my bike, stop by the Ottawa river, sit on a rock with my feet in the cold water.
Or waiting for the imminent birth of 2 turtledove babies in my front porch hanging basket.
And so many more daily small joys...
my wife planned to get her two-hours of service time on saturday - like we did every month.
two hours.

This is sad beyond words
Congratulations!!! Babies are so precious...
i'm not a jw, never have been.. my friend described bethel as a place where one can be trained up in a trade and help with the printing of wts literature.
he described it as a self sufficient home where many witnesses aspire to go because you're only arpund other followers and it doses you up good on spirituality.
but then i read about it online and apparently there's bells ringing and quick meals and it's really hard work and it sounded somewhat like an institution?!?!
Thank You, MeneMene!

Is anyone aware if there have been books written by ex-bethelites on their experience of life at Bethel?
Not from Down Under, but wishing you a warm welcome from Canada:-)
A lot of things don't add up
After close scrutiny, not much add up...
so, i need some opinions.
i have been thinking about getting a tattoo.
something small and classy.
Good choice
