I forgot to tell all of you "thanks!"
I did write a bit about myself under "About me."
I've enjoyed reading here for so long. It's been a great help! You are great people.

The story of my life (part 16- Dazed, and then mundane)
by onacruse inin hardly 10 years, my psychical life had been destroyed, and then my soulical life had been demolished.
i was a tatters of a man.. i went to a psychiatrist...what a hopeless effort: at $150 an hour, i would've had to spend the next 10 years, and several hundreds of thousands of dollars, to "explain" to this man what i'd experienced.
even then, he wouldn't have been able to understand.

I can't even begin to imagine what it was like for you to go through all this. "I'm sorry!" seems so lame. On a different point, however, this is exactly the kind of "justice" that has driven me to question much of what I used to believe. I've seen both sides...people who got away with "murder," and people who were punished, not necessarily for what they did, but for who (whom?) they offended (or didn't obey). You seem happy now. I'm glad.

Some people volunteer at Bethel without living at Bethel. Or they may stay there as volunteers for a certain period of time without actually being "Bethelites." The rules for them may be different. Bethel seems perfectly happy to benefit from the education some have pursued, without ecouraging the rest of us to pursue it. Does anyone know the actual situation of this woman and her husband?

It occurs to me to wonder...what became of the elder and your ex? Dave implied they were untouched by their conduct? If they were still in when you returned, did you have to deal with them? Did you have to see them at assemblies? How did you cope with that? I hope this isn't too personal.

The story of my life (part 10- transition #1)
by onacruse inas mr. spock would often say: "interesting, very interesting.".
posting the first several parts of my life story evoked an emotional response in me that i didn't fully anticipate; thus the angst.
as i've pondered what happened next, (and maybe this is one of the very best things i can derive from sharing my experiences!

If you feel like it, would you describe the "anti-WTS" conversations you were having with others at this time?
Thanks, cc

Please share what it was that bothered you. Other than being required to change into a suit for crossing the street, which was admittedly crazy, what else was worrying you. I feel a connection to your situation and would love to know your thought processes here. Thanks.

I was an "attendant" for the toilets. My job was to stand at the front of the line and tell the sisters when the next stall opened up. They wanted me to have a tag under my name tag that gave me the authority for this "job," but because I was a sister, my tag couldn't say "Attendant" (I guess I might get uppity) so it said, "Restroom."
