  there were guys at bethel, who had great jobs........like don brouex.....he was the receptionist at the 124 desk....checking in and "checking out" ......all the bethel tours and "hot" sisters......on there way through the "home tour"............that my friend, is not a real bethel job.. there were guys at bethel, that had great congergations with maybe only 2-4 bethelities in their halls.

  one hall, midtown had over 80 bethelites there.............. 3 old ladies 4 kids and a dog.

  odds of getting a home cook meal on sunday 0%.

  New Light at DC?

  by zack in

  the gb will announce in a series of talks in two symsposiums that:.

  all anointed will die and depart the earthly scene before armageddon.. the resurrected anointed will aid christ in directing all his belongings from heaven.. christ said "i will be with you until the conclusion of the systems of things" and he has done so invisibly; and shortly.

  shall come the time for his co-rulers to be gathered to him to rule (just as christ has) invisibly.

  I have been to only one meeting and one Memorial in 7.5 years, and I don't consider this new light.
  I don't ever recall anything being said contrary to this while I was deeply in (1990-9)
  
  Unless it just made sense to me in the 90s, and I was "ahead of the chariot."

  Is there a DF cut off point

  by fringe dweller in

  does anyone know if there is a set time period after which a baptised witness, who has ceased attending meetings or having any association with the congregation, can begin living openly as a non-witness (living with a partner while not married) without incurring the punishment of disfellowhipping?

  if so, can you direct me to printed 'proof' of the wts edict in this regard.

  i completely withdrew from the society about 6 years ago and have left the town i lived in whilst i was active, but i have family members who are still witnesses and i don't want to risk being formally 'banned' from associating with them on the rare occasions that we see each other.

  Yeah, unless you DA, then there is no statute of limitations, so to speak.

  well it is 4:00 a.m. in the morning and i can't sleep, so might has well write.. everything at bethel is seniority........"how long have you been here?

  " if you wanted a better room you need some seniority, rooms would go up on a bid system.

  if you were a new boy, and all your friends were new boys, it could be a year or two before you got a decent room and 10 years to get a room with its own bathroom, pre towers days.

  I thought my friends who went to Bethel made that name up recently. I guess it's been around for decades.

  XJW Meetups: They're not singles bars, dammit.

  ok, i just had to vent.

  i found out somebody in our local minneapolis/saint paul meetup has been harassing one of our meetup attendees.

  this person has been getting multiple phone calls from this person even though they've been told in a gentle way "i'm not interested, back off, you're old enough to be my dad.

  How I sent my letter

  by truthsetsonefree in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  now that some time has passed i can say how i made my protest to watchtower.

  i mailed that letter using the "special blue" envelopes used only for judicial correspondence.

  so i know that it did not go through the usual channels for correspondence.

  They don't want The Purple Kid to sue them.

  kenny drew jnr.

  is the son of the great jazz pianist, now deceased.

  his own accomplishments are rich and varied, playing with some of the greatest names in modern jazz and also entering the world of the classical piano with the same success that he has met in the jazz world.. he published a stinging criticism of the 'rap' music idiom, taking bold side-swipes at the true culprits, the record companies on his web site.

  hilary step:
  
  
  Here's a better rap:
  
  No political solution –
  all I see is confusion.
  Racists, they race to judgment
  Can’t resist the mind pollution.
  
  Crimes against man, by man,
  even a child can
  commit the heinous, maim us;
  out of the mouths of babes –
  words came to certainly defame us.
  Critical commentary, scary – nonetheless.
  We confess. No end in sight.
  No rapper’s delight in the dark message
  of imperial might
  and excess.
  
  Disillusioned, Disenfranchised,
  just plain dissed by myriad lies
  No compromise in sight
  and finally, I realize:
  
  There is no political solution.
  
  Sensed that disturbance
  in my force,
  and rejected
  that power so dark,
  and that life too hectic.
  
  Salvation eternal
  does not lie with man:
  their hearts infernal,
  burning with sin.
  Ages of evil deeds
  yield justification,
  and water the divine seeds
  of our condemnation.
  
  Spiritual –
  hopefully habitual
  in attendance.
  Endlessly hoping
  for the promised ascendance.
  not Transcendental,
  but most definitely mental.
  
  There is no political solution.

  Example of an argument:
  
  Rap is a modern adaptation of talking blues, which was first recorded
  in 1926 by this guy:
