so fisherperson sent me a pm asking a bunch of questions re my time at beth hell.
rather than respond in a pm i will post the q/a here as i have nothing to hide.
q:what years did you serve in brooklyn bethel?
This thread constituted all the entertainment I had for this bedridden weekend recovering from a minor surgery. The number of times I burst out laughing holding my belly for fear that id do damage to the healing in progress :P. I'd like to thank every single poster involved.
morpeheus u have a new fan.
peace out xx
now you can see the full short movie online.
storyline: its sunday, and pablo, 8 years old, has an invitation to a very special but also forbidden birthday party.
its sunday, and for the first time, pablo is going on a door-to-door preaching with his mother.
it has been a long looong time since i posted on here, but never ceased reading all the posts and keeping up on the changes that have been going on!
but it just seems that now i have a need to get something off my chest, and this is the one place that will most definitely understand the topic at hand.
i have been disfellowshipped for about 8yrs now, and have dealt with the 'consequences' of that decision: all my so-called friends in the org left and i was also abandoned by my own family.
:(
stay strong babygirl. UV obviously made so much progress since leaving. Focus on that and even if this depresses u for a bit u look strong enough to dust it off and move on.
Ps: I love the idea of a family reunion. Haven't been to one myself.
special assembly was attended by 30,000 and 173 was baptized.. see video-footage given by english language belgian web site.. (interestingly, the press spokesman was a sister).. http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws.english.
I was supposed to go visiting to this one with family and friends from my home country cong, but faked sickness. I could have actually become sick of all the BS anyway!
Wonder if it was as hot there as some of Europe was last week.
i have just found out that my brother (who was one of a bunch that shared this login) has died.. he and his wife were living in another country where they once pioneered.
i didn't see him that often.. such an empty feeling.....
Stuckinarut, that's really sad news. I hope you are coping somehow. The passing of a sibling seems like a scary thought, its almost like a part of you that grew up with you is suddenly gone. I cannot begin to process it myself. Please take care of yourself and please feel free to come here and grieve if it makes u feel better. Take care xx
FayeDunaway, I watched Inside Out too last night and cried my eyes out. Having run away from home once those conflicting emotions in my head (and intermittent death of all emotion) was only all too familiar.
while researching a comment on the long-running naga rebellion in india, i came across this charming image.
a woman wearing a burqua (so obviously muslim) walks her son to school.
its described as being a festival day, so the boy is dressed as the lord krishna.. from the indian newsnation: http://www.newsnation.in/photos/entertainment/only-happen-in-india-1021/slide1#more.
India has been the seat of a whole lot of reliigion backed violence, but it's also the place where sometimes people just want to be happy and make the best of the little the most of them happen to have.
On the other hand, the latest thing fanatics are using to further their catastrophic cause is inter-religious marriages.

Falling in love with someone from another religion is almost always doomed as most Indians would attest to. You aren't allowed to choose those you love. Indian parents generally drill that into their kids' heads from early childhood. If you do, then u face shunning, ostracism, maybe even a honor killing. Its a tough life for the general Indian of marriageable age.
so that other thread was fun but now i need some help with something.
i was born in the truth most of my family is in.
although they aren't outwardly super spiritual i doubt any of them would ever leave.
Really like the anxiety attack plan. If I were in I'd use it : Thanks guys ;)
foreign language due to wife needs is a good idea too. It should work in ur favour ;!
i've just signed up two days ago, but i've been lurking for about a year and a half.
here's my story if you're interested:.
my parents converted when they were in their first semester of college.
i haven't had pizza in absolute ages!!!
today our boss bought in 20 various pizzas to say "well done" for the month of march.
i've eaten like 5 slices already.
a week or so ago i posted that the forum was 15 years old (15 years of jehovahs-witness.com) and hinted that there may be some news to announce about the site:.
i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.
well, now i can announce it - i sold it !.
