  Since learning TTATT, the quote above motivates me to do all the things I had put off when under the JW spell.

  Absurd, I never knew more depressed single people than when I was a jw. It was infuriating and exhausting as I didn't fit in with that group and was always trying to help them see how to be happy Solo.

  I grew up with his older brother.

  The brother of a friend of mine, in Florida, committed suicide a couple years ago. Not putting names as I heard one of his surviving brothers potentially work up.

  One of my girlfriends had her brother-in-law committ suicide, leaving a child and wife behind. Fortunately, the whole family, including my friend, woke up a couple years ago (after shunning their apostate parents for years). Talk about an interesting story.

  BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

  while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

  a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

  I was hoping to hear that Glen Partridge (from MA) had left. I know Phil Lofgren and Paul Schleppy left Bethel and went on to extremely successful careers (both are still JW). I'd love to know what happened to the Helander's, Solar's and Michael Taylor. Jonathan Ignacio didn't last long at betheL. He got in trouble for "flaunting his wealth" (Still JW).

  Do you think it's rude or disrespectful to be in the bathroom for any reason while the brother is praying?

  by toto555 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a publisher tell me this recently that she felt that it showed disrespectful to the brother up there giving the prayer, like you're ignoring him or something.

  what do you think?

  and if so, any bible scripture or watchtower or awake backing this idea up specifically?.
