Rura Penthe

A Klingon prison planet adjescent to Trilithium mining asteroids. It is said that serving on Rura Penthe is a fate worse than death, with unbearable and almost uninhabitable mining facilities alongside the most ruthless convicts in the universe. In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, after the murder of Klingon ambassador Garok while aboard the Enterprise, Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy were wrongly sentenced to life on Rura Penthe, but managed to escape thanks to a very intricate plan. More recently, in Star Trek (2009), the Romulan mining leader, Captain Nero, was exiled to Rura Penthe and managed to escape after 25 years once his futuristic ship, the Narada, was fully repaired and capable of taking on the entire Klingon security fleet around the planet.

"Captain, the death penalty has been commuted. However, you will be sentenced to serve in the Rura Penthe Trilithium mines for the rest of your natural lives."
-Klingon High Council

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
