keep it coming man, this is great. I knew a few people who left for Bethel, they came back as the most arrogant SOB's but there was a air of denial about them too, man i hate the Dubs!!! Nothing would give me more satisfaction than seeing a person go that step further and destroy the Borg from within, reckon we could form a strike team?

The story of my life (part 7- Bethel, the end)
by onacruse inya know, it's odd how the "big" things just sometimes seem to bounce off your forehead, rather like seeing the trees instead of the forest.
well, fwiw, that was the state of mind (if you can call it that) i was in, after less than a year at bethel.
i was reassigned to the night-shift janitorial crew.

Describe the WILDEST JW party you ever attended!! no seriously......
by kid-A ini realize this is totally context and culturally dependent, but the old toronto jw youth scene was quite wild during the years 1984-1994. .
one example, a group of about 40 jw kids would go up to a ski resort (usually mount st.louis/moonstone or blue mountain) over the x-mas week-end.
one year we rented out a block of rooms in a resort close to the ski lodge.

funny how repressed people are so eager to smoke the hooch and get wasted at any opportunity eh!
We had some great do's when we were teens, most of them involved hanging out at a sisters house and it was always Bring-A-Bottle! Then the cocktails would start flowing, and then i'd nip off for a sly smoke outside, amazing how many dubs loved to smoke, yet they confessed their sins to the elders in a heartbeat, i used to despise my peer group because of this! This one sister who shall remain nameless, was a classic, once she got the drink in her, it was like a different person, her real person came out!
All i can say is that given the opportunity to escape their shackles, even for just a few hours most dubs take their partying to the extreme, get absolutley hammered, stoned whatever, becuase they just confess their mortal sins afterwards, farking lightweights!!! -

ok my serious post now.
I would be totally professional, if she engages you in conversation, keep the dubs out of it unless she brings it up, then outside of the workplace, discuss with her any points she has. You might never know, but as mentioned above, subtle hints are the best way to wrest her from The Borg! -

change her IE/Firefox start page to JWD.com, get a nice Screensaver, maybe with a pic of DannyHaz and his sandwich board, incessantly pull her up about her performance, whether its your business or not, have her boss make intrusive calls about her private life. Then when shes at her wits end, have her sacked for not towing the company line, because the company had "new light" regarding the Employee Handbook!

Cheap wine and a 3 day growth by Cold Chisel!!! nah seriously, i want, as my Union Jack draped coffin is wheeled down to the front, The Lark Ascending by Vaughn Williams, and as i get cremated i want the theme from M.A.S.H. to be played. Then I want my ashes loaded up into a big firework and at my wake, i want as i ascend into the starry night to a conclusion of colourful explosion, Higher by Van Halen! Man, i might have to fake my own death, i reckon i'd have a great send off!

I am not alone!!!!!
by Krisiva10 init took me a bit of reading through some posts to realize that this site is exactly what i have been looking for, for such a long time!!
people to share my blown away realization i experienced after i quit going to the meetings and went against my mother!
it feels great to see people who have gone through and felt the same as i and who have taken the steps to change their life.

The story of my life (part 5- Bethel, the first shock)
by onacruse inabout 2 months after i arrived at bethel (late spring), i took my place at the breakfast table...awakened, as usual, by the 6 a.m. bell, a quick shower, and arriving with great anticipation for the 7 a.m. daily comments, with a few words from the "head of the table" (usually knorr, but they had recently started a weekly "cycling" of governing body members; part of the impending organizational elders restructuring).
the norm was to start eating at 7:30 a.m. (read "scoop the bowl and wolf it down"), and on the clock by 8 a.m.. but, on this day, something completely beyond my anticipation.
knorr starts off by saying that we should be prepared to sit for a while, as he proceeds, for 3 hours, to outline how a homosexuality "ring" has been operating at bethel for some time, including some gileadites.

this is GOLD!!! its like a serial show, "tune in next week, for the Franz Files" it doesnt suprise me about the boys being a bit, ahem, nice, all thrown together, long way from home! Good on them I say, probably still goes on to this day, in fact the rabid denials only confirm it!

Are you a "here I am" or a "there you are"?
by Mulan ina friend of mine read a book about 30 years ago, that said people are basically categorized into two main types.
here's how you define yourself:.
when you walk into a room full of people, do you think to yourself "here i am" or do you say "there you are".. i am definitely a "there you are".

I would say I am a "i'm here, now wheres the bar?" kind of dude.
I feel comfortable with myself finally, and when i enter a room, i usually scan teh room for people i gravitate towards and go there, via the bar of course!
