Bethel Memories Good and Bad
by joelbear indave inspired me with his story of his week at bethel.
the fish in the pond outside the e building at the watchtower farm would eat out of your hand, very cool.
the fall colors of the mountains with the morning sunshine on them outside the dining hall at the farm were spectacular.

threats
by joelbear inany interesting threats your parents would use on you.. my mom always said, remember there's an eye watchin' you.
and when i would say something about a brother or sister or the society or something offbeat in general.
she would say the she bears were going to eat me.. well she was close on the last one.

Very superstitious writing on the wall
by joelbear inother people have ghosts and goblins and fairy godmothers.. jw's have demons.. demonized chairs, forks, pictures, pages from books, dolls, etc.
etc.. the most aggravating demon related thing my mother ever did was throw away my fantastic of collection of toys from around the world.
i was about 10 and joined something called the kid's explorer's club.
