At the DC I had to attend (my wife....) one of the speakers said (in a creepy tone): "Look at the clock....in past Assemblies it was said that the End is due in DAYS (he overemphasized that)...than it was only minutes......today we see SECONDS ticking by....(long pause)...."
After that Talk (he's some Bethel heavyweight in our country) every other speaker started repeating that same Bullshit "Seconds" "only Seconds" ...I am a very peaceful person, but I had the urge to go up and strangle him with his ugly tie, until he turns blue....really, made my blood boil.
Another stupid thing. The Drama. Working with Friends = go to hell. Come home, go with these Pioneers to serve in other Territories. Now, I have a friend at Brooklyn Bethel (Administrative work, i can't say what...) that regularly tells me about problems they have with the so called "Needgreaters" (pioneers who go abroad to Third World countries for service) and it seems that there is a great tendency for young people to leave for these countries (away from thei're parents exactly as in the drama) and to screw whatever moves in the bushes....most sponsored by Daddy and Mommy and by the Congos at home. I personally knew one guy from Chicago that went to Latinamerica and F%&*& several of his girl home bible studies....he used to send experiences to one member of the GB that knew his Mom from a old Congo they used to go...he was very proud that a member of the GB would get his "experiences" LOL, ROFMLAO!!!!!
