IandP, yea I know exactly what you're saying too! I was very surprised to see that elders, overseers and even Bethelites were here!! It freaked me out...couldnt imagine anyone leaving from Bethel. There was a young guy I was absolutely nuts over that left to go to Bethel...
i know, tera. they were like the ones who walked on water, so to speak. and i always thought the prettiest boys were the ones who ended up going to bethel. they were like, gods, or something. i fell in love with this one brother - we were both 14 though. he was the sweetest, cutest thing. he looked like kurt russell. my sister knows everything about everyone, and so i asked her do you know what happened to so-and-so? and she told me oh they became an apostate or they fell away, or one kid whose dad was an overseer ended up driving drunk and killing a little kid in his neigborhood. but anyway, i asked about many people from my past and she knew if they were still in or out, but when i asked about tim she didn't have a clue, which tells me he escaped their clutches. i like to think of him sitting on a beach, all barefoot and sand in his fair hair, having a smoke and musing. how funny that we still think of these people.
