  I know we have quite a few ex-bethelites here, young and old. Use this thread to talk about the stuff you hated there, any crazy stories, or anything else that might get a laugh and show how screwed up the House of God is.

  I'll post one: Boiled eggs. Fuck you boiled eggs. That was literally the worst breakfast and they did it every week. I'm pretty sure that was just because of like one old dude on the home committee who had to have his boiled eggs every morning. It's amazing how quickly I was able to run to Dunkin Donuts after breakfast and get to work on time just so I didn't starve all morning.

  a lot of people say that about certain foods, in the UK the Bethel served French Fries every Sunday night and-it was the most popular meal of the week, I've heard the same said about guys who served in the army and could not even stand the smell or look of certain foodstuffs. I dont mind boiled eggs, thinly sliced on wholemeal bread, plenty of salt and pepper, mayo or salad cream bit of onion, cucumber and lettuce, yummy.

  french fries aren't bad and those are more of a side dish. Boiled egg day was the same freakin thing every time. Boiled eggs, dry burned hashed potatoes, and some dumb cold 7 grain cereal. I swear a sadist was in charge of the food.

  you have no idea zeb. apparently they changed up the food stuff a few years ago to make it 'healthier.' I can only imagine how much more money bethelites have to spend on eating out because the food is awful.

  A Bethel overseer at the home told me George Couch had the dailey cost per Bethelite (including Food) costed down to the penny. The reason? So the factory could calculate when it was cheaper to replace a Bethelite with a machine.

  I didn't mind the food at bethel. Sometimes it was actually pretty good. Once a year they would have liver for lunch. No one showed up for that. I actually felt bad for the jws that were visiting someone that day for lunch.
