  people remembered me from last sunday and actually made an effort to fellowship with me (even though i bolted for the door after the closing prayer).

  everyone seems very warm and genuine.

  i'm looking forward to going again next sunday.

  Any Ex-Bethelites Out There?

  by findingmyway in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've heard some tawdry stories about the "goings on" in bethel.

  wondered if any of them are true?

  i don't want to repeat any of them because none of them were first hand accounts, so the stories could be extremely distorted.

  2. experiences

  my sister although not df'd at the time, explored at least one other religion.

  she attended regularly and was a sunday school teacher.

  i asked her today what was her motivation and asked if she had ever done research about the organization.

  Going to Church for the First Time Alone

  by findingmyway in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i usually go with my boyfriend to his church, but i felt the need to explore this without him.

  so since i liked his church (church of christ) i decided to find one in my area to attend.

  i was a really nice experience.

  Explain 1 Chronicles 16: 30; Psalms 104:5; Psalms 37: 9, 11, 22, 29, 34

  .

  if i remember correctly, these and other scriptures like it support the belief of "paradise on earth" inhabited by righteous people forever.

  sorry to make you pull out your bibles, but do these verses confirm that the earth will always exist (i.e., never totter) and that the righteous will live on it forever?

  What do you see when you look in the mirror?

  by findingmyway in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i look at myself in the mirror i see a different person than i saw a few years ago.

  also, when i look at photos of myself from a few years back, i don't even know myself.

  not that i look that much different physically -- it has something to do with the eyes.

  Trouble explaining my life story to my boyfriend of almost 2 years

  by findingmyway in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well, the time has come to explain my former jw life to my boyfriend of almost 2 years.

  he's getting a bit tired of being there for me during my meltdowns and not knowing or fully understanding why i am having a meltdown.

  i can no longer explain it as pms...he knows me too well now.
