my sister is a bethelite.
i got into a discussion with my mother over e-mail about how i thought she generally was at bethel not for the spirituality of it, but because of the prestige.
it got me to thinking.. why do people really decide to become bethelites?
Dan, deep breaths..........in...and out........
Ok,
To get into Bethel means you are special...they can clean toilets for jesus, remember the scripture about one of the prostitutes cleaning Jesus toilet and jesus forgave her for being a prositute?
Not making light of your anger........only seething in it.
And OBTW, my use to be best friend was a Bethelite...she was the harlot in the Creation book......
I am sick now....
tyydyy mentioned in a different thread about wanting to have lunch or drinks with a person, if he could.
who on board would you enjoy getting together with??
?
Minimus,
Your love for Farkel I understand, I love him too.
To say you would get a drink with him but not break bread is de meaning.
What is your problem? I have posted my problem with you ad nauseum......
You must of been one mean elder...I'm glad we have Hillary Step to balance us.
Call Farkel...if you really care.

I tried, but I can'
woo hoo I got in
women still can't handle mic's, count money, count attendance, or give public talks.
"in the first century, some of (the women in the bible) had the privilege of ministering to jesus an his apostles.
("cook that lamb and wash the wine jugs, toots!").
Ok, a question just popped into my mind,
If most Bethelites and GB are married, what kind of birth control did they use?
So they could stay faithful??????
well, my friends, i have a friend who has just joined us.
sns made her first post.
i will let her choose what she wants to tell in her own time.
Ok, I'll try it again,
Welcome sns...and as what was said before, any friend of Sallys is a friend of mine..........
Wouldn't that make a great Kingdumb Melody?????
OBTW Six..when did you have the sex change?...it looks good........

a caterpillar.
although there are many more examples in nature for wonderment, the caterpillar is spectacularly unique.
imagine one animal changing into an entirely different species in just a few months;from a multi-legged ugly grub into a stunningly beautiful winged insect.
I know there is a loving God.
I had 3 Children, they were more beautiful at birth then a catepillar emerging from a cocoon, and that is beautiful. So are grandchildren, families that love and support and old age if you have someone to grow old with.
I know the sound of birds in the morning, owls at night..rain at sunrise.
Kittens playing, puppies breath...
And knowing Farkel believes in God,
as a jehovah's witness, you know that you cannot practice homosexuality.
it's considered a sin.
if your friend or relative revealed that they were gay, you would be obligated to "report" them to the elders.
What are you trying to tell us Min?
You're scared your parents wont accept you??
i recieved another letter from ray franz and it was in type but it didnt have the same personal feeling like the letters i had recieved before.
his health must be getting worse.
...brother franz had told me to keep strong and continue to do what was good to my children and dear friends as he survive his turmoil so i too i will survive.
Are you guys on crack like Mole is??????????
Sheesh...Minimus...give us some relief here.
were you considered a "troublemaker", a "complainer", a "fine" brother or sister?
were you always being called before the elders for one thing or another?
is your reputation the same here as it was in the congregation??
What was your reputation in the Congregation Mini?
Were you deleted as an Elder? Did you step down?
What was your reputation as an elder?....were you hated?
Inquiring minds wanna know.........
