maybe i'm just a bit paranoid but i think my parents may be on to me.

i hope i didn't blow my cover.... i was out with some jw kids and realised that i left all my "apostate" research and my notebook out on my desk in my room.

when i got home my mother was crying in her room.

Hi

really sorry about your situation. I got discovered too and had 'apostate printouts' left around for me to see.

Didn't handle it well at the time - but I think u are doing the right thing in to deciding stay calm. Maybe a good idea to reassure your parents as Nic suggested. Also a trick I have found is to imagine I am water and simply pass through the opposition when it happens but try to stay comforting.

love

people would ask me "how long do you plan on staying at bethel" i would say "forever!.....or 4 years which ever comes first" .

besides the about 48 hours you worked there a week, you would have other duties too.

there was dish duties.

I knew a guy who who was mugged in New York.......The guy put a gun to his head and said "give me your money or I'm going to blow your BRAINS out"!........The man said " YOU better shoot........because I know one thing.............you can live in New York with out brains....but you GOT to have MONEY"!

Sounds like bethel humour - a must

My Bethel Experience Part 6

i 'm sorry all of this is not in order.............i'm writing as all this comes back to me.. my first room assignment was room 33 in the 129 building....it was and old building, built around the turn of the century,...the society owned it but it had worldly people in to.......i'm not sure why but maybe there was a law that provented them from being kicked out or something.

it was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment (about 1000 sq.

ft.) there were 7 of us in there, all new boys ( less then one year there).

Hi newboy

Nowadays despite the fact that living conditions at bethels around the world have improved the pressure is still horrendous. I have personally visited bethel over here many times - the rooms are very cramped, walls thin, doors always unlocked, no privacy and very stifling. Many become ill, chronic fatigue, nervous breakdown, irritable bowel syndrome - mostly stress related.

The highlight for many is being with the congregations.

thanks for sharing your experiences.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

by Amazing in

jw
friends

this is a touchy topic for some because of strong beliefs about god's nature.

many believe that the nt bible is a law book, designed to give us exacting instructions and formula on what to do and not to do.

on prayer to the holy ghost (holy spirit), the new advent says:.

Thanks for your reply. Bernadette was the patron saint's name i took at my confirmation/1st communion (forget which) and then dropped it when I became a witness.

Can remember being rapped on the knucles by the nuns - always deserved.

Is there a link to Leolaea's research into the nature of God?
