And I think it's hilarious that the issue of "a private message staying private" is being hotly debated on a thread about life in bethel--the land of no privacy.

I wouldn't know; I never chose to go there and submit myself to such idiocy but that's not the point.

Question and answers for fisherperson regardingy time at bethel

by _Morpheus in

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?

A message sent in private should remain such, regardless of the content. If permission is given to make it public, then ok. Otherwise, posting private messages publicly is bad form IMO

If said private content is offensive, it should be taken up with the mods/admin

ok, im gonna try makin this as short as i can, cuz im still pissed.. my father is elderly, needs me to drive him to meetings.

it takes 30 minutes to drive there, so i stay for the meeting, i dress in slacks and a nice shirt ..in respect for pops.

going back home , would be pissing in the wind.....i would just have to turn around 20 minutes after getting there.. well elders asked me to the back room, and said im doing a good job taking care of my father, and that it looks like im well on my way to getting reinstated soon....wtf???.

Twitch

Great thread

brandnew, I salute you as you respect and honour your parents; it shows a strength of character.

I doubt I could attend a meeting though; I think beating my nuts with a stick would be less painful. Well, perhaps not but I'd almost rather do anything else.

Just a short observation on self inflicted misery.

by Human Being in

i used to post on this site a few years back but after moving on personally and being shunned by my only remaining family member for the last 4-5 years i the j.w's became just background noise to me.

yet yesterday something happened that brought back to me the degree of control this cult has over it's members.

a new wall mart recently opened in my little mountain town here in northern georgia, u.s. as i headed across the parking lot on my way into the store the heat was intense, wit a humidity factor of around 90%.

The new Governing Body is liberal. they are really freeminders!

by rege brazzy in

dear friends, your posts are very good, but we really think that they will change many things soon...for example.

watch tower now are feminist and they protect the gay cause.soon we will have many gay marriages in kingdom halls.you will see.that governing body is really cool.ted jaracz and john barr were the last puritans in the governing body!.

the current governing body is completely liberal, but as yet has some bethelites the old guard working, they are still holding some behaviors .... but very soon you will see ... even in my congregation is very liberal ... not here disassociates for immorality .. just for apostasy ... i fucked three sister, but the elders did not shunned me, but they only help me!

Disfellowshipped at 18

by asensier in

you can probably guess how this story goes.. i began dating a non-witness boy.

he knew i was a baptised witness and understood the consequences i faced for dating him.

we agreed to keep our relationship secret, which was easy considering our 200 mile distance.

Most here know exactly what you're going through; you're not alone.

Kindly listen to what appeals to you and also what doesn't; both are of value.

Learn what your instincts say. There is always the heart and mind, often at odds but the gut knows best.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. How else does one learn?

Enjoy and live life like there is no tomorrow. Now is the only time where things happen

Probable Discovery of Life on Comet Philae

by cofty in

according to leading astronomers the probe philae that landed on the comet 67p last november may have discovered microbial life..... sadly neither the probe nor the orbiter rosetta are equipped to test directly but the evidence is interesting.

these are not easily explained in terms of prebiotic chemistry.

the dark material is being constantly replenished as it is boiled off by heat from the sun.

Twitch

Well, I for one am glad the media does not report every theory and conjecture as fact.

Wait a second...

Anywho, what do the chances become of lightning striking the same place, if over 4 billion years?

The chances of life occurring spontaneously on it's own are astronomical, so it's been said. Impossible is a different statement. If in all the cosmos life only struck once, naturally we'd be here to contemplate it. And if it struck more than once, the same would be true. In either case, we'd still be here to contemplate where else it may have struck. And likely never know of another due to sheer distance/time.

Still, it's tres cool that we land probes on comets and peek inside.
