Would you also like free fries with that? Can I rake your yard, too? I'll bring the rake. Hell, I'll even bring the yard, if you don't have one!You lazy whining wuss.

G'day metatron,
Thanks for the post. Do you think the borg can be reformed? Indeed, do you want it to be?
The way it seems to me, if you cut out (reform) all the bad bits, you'd be left with something akin to any other Christian denomination. Now we don't want that, do we? Or do we?
Cheers,

Hello everyone,
a good post. I think one of the latest
informations comes from the km/ june 2001 pp. 3-6, " Can you
make yourself avalaible?" and it deals mainly, with the work
at the Bethel,...blessing of Bethel service, requirements
for Bethel service, Current needs " primarily for single
brothers" etc. etc.A very interesting one,
Agape, J.C.MacHislopp

Thank you, Farkel and co. for the kind thoughts.
God speed on your work of exposure. Patience , in
this area, is difficult but I guess the right moment
hasn't come yet.The June 2001 KM is interesting historically because
if you're familiar with Bethel history, it ought to be
evident that entrance standards are sliding downhill.
While "preference is given to those who are regular
pioneers", it should be plain that they have very few of
those willing to volunteer.Calling in single brothers, who are simply GOOD PUBLISHERS,
and BAPTISED FOR A YEAR, must give the Society fits!
Institutional life , like Bethel, is often difficult to
adapt to. I can testify that calling brothers into Bethel
who barely know 'what the truth is' creates headaches.
Some of you may know that they changed the Bethel questionaire
years back to reflect the fact that so many brothers
were compromised physically by illegal drug use.
Try running a disciplined organization with recent ex-
potheads or dudes having Orange Sunshine flashbacks!

can anyone show us a current bethel questionnaire?
the last one i saw had pointed question about the kinds of music you listened to, like rap, that i found kind of insulting.

The question about rap music was because the "brothers" were concerned that inviting someone into Bethel who might play that kind of music would didturb the peace and quiet of others.
Or to put it another way, parents never could understand their kids' choice of music. That's been going on for thousands of years. Literally! Archaeologists have dug up inscriptions evidencing that.

Well, ozzie I don't think it would be too bad if they
ended up as an inoffensive Protestant sect. Hoping that
a pitch-fork wielding torchlight procession storms
their castle and lynches the lot of 'em isn't realistic.
