  Any Brooklyn Bethelites from '93 - '98?

  by back2dafront in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i guess i should introduce myself for i am a new poster-boy :-) my name is jason howard and i currently reside in santa cruz, california.

  i spent the first 24 years of my life as a jw, starting in danbury, ct, then to fayetteville & charlotte, nc, and finally brooklyn, bethel, where finally all of my negative inner thoughts and feelings were confirmed.

  (from the ages of 14-24 i always felt something just didn't add up with the organization, but i could never quite put a finger on it) i spent my career at bethel in the brooklyn warehouse/purchasing departments and worked with some really great individuals.

  What are your posting habits?

  by SYN in

  just a question that occurred to me.

  how often do you post here?.

  let me tell you about my posting habits to get the ball rolling.. i never post during the morning (equivalant to midnight-3am in america), purely because i a) have to get to work, busy busy, and b) i am not terribly lucid before my 3rd cup of coffee .

  I'm a professional lurker and an irregular publisher oops I mean poster. I'll post to a topic that interests me. My job is kinda demanding so I sometimes post when I don't have any major deadlines. Sometimes I'll get one of those interactive threads started....y'know the type.....JWcom crushes, post a hottie, etc. I've been on this board for a year but only have about 180 posts........

  SilentLambs:

  Kudos on the Dateline piece. Do you plan on remaining a JW? If you do, will you try to promote reform efforts in the WT? Will Silentlambs strictly stay on the Pedophile issue?

  Lotsa questions there but I've been dying to know...............

  They do if they aren't in the infirmary. My question is whether they count time during the weekly governing body meetings and such.

  New Light on FDS?

  .

  anyone hear anything about their being "new light" on the fds class?

  i've heard that it's 2-3 years down the pike, but that the "new light" will greatly alter their role........is this some "dukie" in the rumor mill or is there something to it?

  Startingover:

  As far as I know you still must be annointed to be on the GB. BUT the legwork is carried out by a lot of non-annointed (Nethinim Class) along with the younger GB's.

  Professor:

  You get down to the essence of the real intent behind shoving this "doctrine" down the throat of every JW. They have to tell us why they can tell us what to do.

  Metatron:

  It's something how the WTBS has taken that rhetorical question and framed a whole doctrinal formula around it. Shows just how thirsty for power they are.

  Farkel:

  Practical vs. Biblical......I couldn't have expressed it any better.

  I heard that it wasn't going to be on the convention but rather something a little down the road. I guess they have to prep the stepford children for the bombshell.........if it's true that is..........
