    Just substitute Bethel for country every time it appears in the song and you have an anthem for Watchtower farms. " "Thank God I'm a Beth- hell boy" Yeee Haaaa!!!

    Today feels like a good day for some catharsis and much needed abreaction. So here goes another story from my "Halcyon Days" serving at the hub of Jehovahs modern day activity. This story is disturbing on another level. Any Bethelite can understand the politics and brown nosing inherent in everyday Bethel life. My experience would seem ordinary to a Bethelite but I would hope would be disturbing to the average publisher. One weekend there was some special event being held at Watchtower Farms.I can't remember just what it was but all the bigwigs were there and some of their extended families too. I was chosen to escort Brother Knorrs' sister, his secretary and some other minor celebrities on a tour of Watchtower Farms and have refreshments with them later in Brother Knorrs' private room. All went fine and everyone enjoyed their tour immensely until the very end. Here is where things fell apart. The tour normally ended at the dining hall and kitchen. As I was explaining how many loaves of bread are baked, eggs are scrambled etc., etc. Brother Knorrs' secretary asked me to take them into the kitchen for a personal inspection. I kindly explained to him that according to NY State health laws we were not allowed to let anyone on tour go into the food preparation area or kitchen. If I took them in I would be breaking the law and setting precedent for other people on tour. He took me aside and very sternly said, "Do you have any idea who you are taking on tour today?" I replied, "Yes Brother. I know exactly who you are. You are Brother Knorrs' secretary. And the older Sister that you have with you is Brother Knorrs' fleshly sister. However, I can't break the law. If I let you in the kitchen then it would only be fair to let every tour that I take into the kitchen. And in either case I would still be breaking the law." He walked right into the kitchen and asked who was the Overseer in charge. It was a very upwardly mobile condescending black Elder who also happened to be a good politician. When he found out who he was dealing with, the Kitchen Overseer immediatly escorted the entire party into the kitchen while I waited outside the swinging doors. Remember you 'rank and file witnesses', we are all equal but some of us are more equal than others. As a side note, Brother Knorrs' room was very Spartan. The real eye opener was Brother George Couchs' room. That BA$TARD had a fully stocked, complete bar that would make a cruise ships bar look like a lemonade stand. And he had a full sized cabinet color television.

    Thanks Sparky1. Knorr could throw a great cocktail party too!

    LOL Everytime I drive past the local dairy I can't help but laugh about Zen Galileo's post two years ago......I wonder if the new compound at Warwick will have any cows?

    OK Balaamsass2 you've got me on a roll!!! This one is a hoot. I can't remember the brothers name but he was the Overseer of the Hog House at Watchtower Farm. He was a short, stocky and balding man with a very weird personality. And yes he was an Elder. His looks would remind you of a young version of the actor Charles Durning combined with Curley of the Three Stooges. Anyway, he had specially made prodding devices to discipline and herd the pigs with. They were 18 to 24 inches long and very slender but sticklike in strength and appearance. It turns out that they were stretched out and dried boar hog penises!!!! Every time an old boar was slaughtered he would retrieve the penis and fashion it into a prodding, beating device. Strange stuff indeed!

    joe134cd- I cannot vouch for Sparky's story (and have no reason to doubt him either) but I can vouch that pigs and bull penis are dried and used for things like walking canes. They used to dried bull penises as walking canes in a hunting supply catalog we used to get as kids. It was a novelty type item. But it is true.

    Joel134cd I assure you that I have NO reason to make up sensational stories in order to garner attention on this forum. You may doubt my word if you wish and that is your right. However, I would appreciate it if you don't 'call me out' unless you have opposing FACTS that can disprove anything that I post here. I am 59 years old and like any human being my memories and recollections will fade with time and be distorted by lifetime experiences. What happened to me at WATCHTOWER FARMS is burned into my consciousness because it was a very unpleasant time in my life. In fairness I had some good times there but the unpleasant experiences outweighed them. Thank you DARTH for coming to my defense. You are quite correct. Bull Penis Canes can be purchased at www.fashionablecanes.com. Currently they have 4 models for sale. Joel134cd you may now turn off your bull shit radar in regards to me and my posts and search for other posters to police who may be more receptive to being reproved by you.
