好久没有跟大家聊天了。
此刻我正在大洋的另一边,天空下著小雨,屋里灯光昏黄,边码著字边等著烧水壶把水烧开,再泡一杯咖啡。
不知不觉离开耶证一年有余了,这一年的时间里,我和我的同学们做了一部关于耶证的纪录片,正在完善中,希望有朝一日可以放到网上来。当地的反耶证群体大力支持我们的行动。
我的情况没什么好说的,说说我了解到的国际友人们,离开耶证后都过得如何吧。(我的翻译不算词对词,是根据语境给的大致翻译。)
离开耶证的大家,都是好样的!
这位小哥说:"My parents said my dream is delusional and I will starve if I leave the religion. Today, I fulfilled my 8 years long dream of becoming a full time Disney employee."
翻译:我爸妈说我的梦想是不切实际的,并且我离开这个教会就会饿死。如今我已达成我的梦想8年时间了——成为迪士尼的全职雇员。
2. 这位姐说:」No better time for a face reveal I guess - today is my first day of school!「
翻译:今天是我上学的第一天!真的是最棒的时刻!
3. 这位哥说:」My first ever birthday cake. I think the smile says it all.「
翻译:我的第一个生日蛋糕,通过我脸上的笑容你可以知道我过得如何。
4. 他们说:"We started a tradition that we are calling "Worldly Wednesday". Every Wednesday we eat a different ethnic food and we enjoy each other』s company and celebrate the fact that we』re 「worldly.」 Being worldly used to have a negative connotation to us.. but we feel like we are living our best lives. "
翻译:我们每周三都去享受一个「世上的周三」。每周三我们吃来自不同国家的食物并且和彼此拥有一个好的时光。我们庆祝我们如今「世上的生活」。但是这并不是一件消极的事情。我们觉得这是我们到现在为止过的最好的生活。
5. 他说:"Today I celebrate 18 months JW free. What a journey it has been."
翻译:今天我离开耶证整整18个月了。看看我过得如何?
6. 他说:"Once upon a time, two fifteen year old kids met in high school and fell in love, only to have a religious cult split them apart. Six years later, the cult is gone and in some strange way, they ended up back together again Never give up guys. The universe works in mysterious ways."
翻译:曾经,两个15岁的青少年在高中相爱了。宗教(邪教)将他们分开。6年后,邪教离开了,他们又在一起了。希望大家都不要放弃。冥冥之中缘分将人相连。
7. 她说:"Im a female from Mumbai, India. Got disfellowshipped barely a month ago. Went on a camping trip with a friend to northeast India (Meghalaya) , and smoked some locally grown pure weed!"
翻译:我来自印度,一个月前被会众开除了。我现在和朋友在印度东北部野营,闻到了附近种子生长的味道!
8. 这位帅哥说:"2 years ago, I was disfellowshipped. Now Im the CEO of a software development company and live a happy life."
翻译:两个年前我被开出了,现在我是一个软体开发公司的CEO,我过得很开心!
9. 中间这位哥说:"Please be careful of the dangers of higher education, I fell for the trap and all I got was an education, critical thinking skills, sense of self worth and efficacy"
翻译:请大家小心高等教育的危险。我落入了陷阱,我得到了教育、理智思考的能力并实现了自我价值。
10. 最后这位哥上过《警醒》杂志,他说:"From being in an Awake! to being fully awake. 3 years ago today I was sitting in a makeup chair getting ready to have my picture taken."
翻译:三年前,我坐在化妆凳上等著拍照。我的照片被放在了《警醒》杂志上。如今,我从邪教中「醒了」。
