Just talked to my "source" and he says it was announced at the "needs of the congregation" part of the meeting. It seems like an unusual request though. I was literature servant for 5 years...maybe it was a request to limit the # of day texts orderedif possible for your family. Just another way to stop the money bleed out.

I was told that only one day text per family can be ordered at the counter. Read an older post here that the day text isn't used before going out D/D. Also told it's not used at assemblies any more. What's the BS explaination?

right now at bethel, they are laying off and reassigning again.

if you have cancer or some other illness, you are a liability and it's time to pack.

i remember the night when we had the special talk about there being a great need in the field and some would be sent out.

Hey, danny boy I want to write a 21 chapter saga on my life to add to my biography here. I'd like to keep it under 500,000 words and one box of Kleenex long. Can you help me out please? Don't think my ego is as large as yours though, think you will tell me otherwise. PM me I on my comments that you are judging me on and WTF is a JW apologist? One of the things I learned in Vietnam as a medic was you DON"T run away from the injured you stay there under enemy fire and help them at the risk of your own life.

Cessa I have absolutely nothing against you. I'm sure if we met face to face we would become fast friends rather quickly. However, not speaking of you personally, but if the straw that broke the camel's back for ANYONE that was "let go" at the Tower of Bethel was only the fact that they now find themselves unemployed is rather a weak excuse to suddenly turn on an organization that has caused many to lose their lives. Jobs in the world are out there to be had and I hope you do well. However, those family members who have died because of the blood issue do not have that opportunity. Best of luck to you and please post your history here so it will open our hearts and minds to you.

I LOVE this thread.

And another thing, bronzefist, and DaCheeh: your comments show what this is really about: You're still angry because you felt inferior in the organization. Big fucking deal. Get over it. You're out, and it doesn't do you or anyone else any good to start tearing into an ex-Bethelite just because they had a title you didn't, or because you once got screwed over by a Bethelite

I never felt inferior in this organization...however I've dealt with many who felt they were superior (I was an MS and a pioneer..but not like most of those who spent their time talking against those who didn't come to all the meetings or never were seen in the field work) We had a Bethelite speak at our hall dedication who started crying from the platform...he claimed that anyone who comes to the hall sick is UNLOVING, cause one of his dear friends died from shaking someones hand...it was weird reasoning, but there you go he was from Bethel.

All I ask is that you don't judge people without knowing them.

And yet here you are judging me and others. Typical two faced comment.

I'm not OUT as you incorrectly ASSume I'm still a member in GOOD standing. I worship JEHOVAH not the ORGANIZATION. I do love yout tirades so bash this post PLEASE!!!!!! Since you were once a loyal Bethelite I do love when you use that "worldly" word FUCKING so use it as often as you wish.

Had a good night sleep and need to clarify things I posted here. I've seen many many terrible things people do to one another in the "world" AND in this organization. The sad thing about them happening in this organization is you don't expect them from "brothers and sisters". Most of us are completely naive when we first come in...we don't feel the fishing hooks stuck in our cheeks.

Gave a talk once as an MS that got me in trouble...I looked out into the congregation and said.."Today. I see many here that were once goats and are now sheep. Sad to say some sheep here may one day become goats, but one thing will always remain the same...the snakes here today will always be snakes." You could hear a pin drop for a second and then a few mummers. Needless to say I got carted into the back room. When I came out though I had a number of the "down trodden" thank me.

This organization is all about TITLES..MS..Elder...PO..CO..DO..Pioneer..BETHELITE!!!!!! Some try to do good, but sad to say titles for the most part go to a person's head, and most will step on anyone to keep them (not all). Pioneered for 2 years, and one day 8 of us were sitting in the pioneer room doing pointless phone calls, I suggested we ALL go call on a sister with MS who couldn't make ALL the meeting.... to encourage her. NOT ONE would do it because they would have to STOP THEIR TIME under orders of the Most Holy Society.I spent almost two PRODUCTIVE hours talking to her and her husband. When I asked the other pioneers what they had done...well, we went door to door but didn't find any one home.

Worked a job that employed all brothers (Rug Doctor) and eventually got let go because I wouldn't stand for the underhanded business dealings. All the brothers refused to stand with me in exposing the corruption, because they didn't want to lose their jobs. "I'm going to remain NEUTRAL on this they all said." Well, I moved on. Funny thing..in a few years the wealthy brother sold out to "worldly" investors and all the brothers were out of their jobs. Sounds a bit like what's happening to the Bethelites....what goes around comes around.

Wow, you actually killed people in the Vietnam War for the Government you supported... then later you rejected the cause?

That's right Little Billy the Ex-Bethelite people died because of the corrupt system I supported and I'm man enough to take the blame for supporting that. By the way I was a Conscientious Objector and served as a Medic so I actually DIDN'T kill people as you implied. but that's typical of your sort taking things out of context to support your point of view. I don't waste my time shouting about all the good I did while I supported that evil system. So pick up your little toys from the sandbox and have your mommy wipe your nose for you.
