Bethel... Really the 'House of God'?
by tornapart in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
just wondering why they would call the headquartes 'bethel', supposedly the 'house of god'.. what is 'bethel' really?

the bible tells us that it was the centre of false worship started by jereboam and the golden calf worship.

(1 kings 12:28-33).

they're tired... sooooo soooo tired.

Something odd just happened when I logged on!

1. forum
2. tech-support
i typed in my name, password and the captcha, expecting to see my name come up in the top right corner and what i actually saw was someone else's name!

(the name was another member of this board).

i looked at it for a few seconds feeling a bit puzzled and not sure what to do about it and as i looked it automatically changed (whithout me doing anything) back to my own name.. has anyone else had this happen to them?

this is very interesting, this guy was a cult member for 37 years.

replace 'william branham' for jw and you can see clearly what a cult really is.

he uses 10 points from steven hassan's book 'combatting cult mind control'.
