There is something from my post...copied and pasted see below...things I heard, I am a man so cannot help with personal experience as such...even if it is too long...still personal experience I did include...
also I tried to differentiate...are you the same person of GenX or not?...I did have at least this much respect...different people come here often with the same handle or post under different handles for different subjects...do you have any idea how difficult this is to handle for the other posters???This anonymity?????...Do have some respect/understanding too...I would like to ask of you
you could have simply said...I am not the same person and then... I would have proceeded from there.
But if you're the same person...well...I am confused...because then you bring God in here for another thread...being on journeys...mind you
Copied/pasted from my awful post:
One incident is long back...while witnessing on the street in Cologne I met a young teenager...may be 15/16 years old or so...who looked like the total "sweet sheep"...but somewhat burdened/sad...It's so long ago...about 34 years back, that I don't remember anything about the conversation...most likely I prayed with her...but one thing I have not forgotten...when she pulled out her purse...to show me a picture which kind of was the visualization of her pain...a reminder of what she didn't have...kind of in honour to it...she had a picture/photo of a pretty developed fetus...something she must have cut out of a magazine or so...I think that was the time before the ultrasonic examinations.
Nowadays I would say/conclude...that she was really deeply wounded, as I think she kept saying, that she wouldn't be able to forget that, getting over it...but then I was very inexperienced...with the attitude...one prayer and all is well....but I do hope she is doing better nowadays.
Another incident I'll never forget is...when the homeshepherd of the home I was in in India confided to me, that in an OHR one sister had confessed...(then we looked rally deep into all kinds of corners of our heart...yet overlooking a lot more regarding the morals/law of love e.g. etc....but this is picking daisies ; ) here)
...Anyway...as she had gone to Nepal and I was about to go...I was asked to take that detail up there for the leaders to know
...It seemed...though I am not sure...that she got pregnant while being a catacomber...and the responsible brother was married...may be too tough to handle then or whatever...I was quite a bit shocked/surprised...as that sister was as sweet as anything...thank God she had healthy children afterwards...I never sought or had the occasion to talk with her about it.Anyway...I really had liked that sister and needless to say, that was kind of a scandal in TFI at that time & I suppose it still is ?!....though it remained then may be a bit of a "secret", as I also wasn't supposed to talk about it.
