  bindery...........5th floor building 3 bindery line 5.............. the machines conquer all.. standing in the same spot, doing the same motion thousands of times a day........you would get the 1000 yard stare (seen in the war movies)..........the first week, you would think about everyone you ever meet........the next week you would think about every movie you ever saw...........the next week, about every place you would like to travel to.............................the next week think about every mistake you made...............the next week, someone would walk up and ask you "what are you thinking about?".

  "nothing".......you would say........you were brain dead.. there is eternality!......................some hours felt like it.

  a good friend of mine, jim pipkorn (also from the lanudry) who was also shafted to the "end sheet gluer" in the bindery, got so depressed that for months, he would come back to his room make himself some dinner and go to bed, at about 7:00 p.m...................i asked him why he was doing that, he said "it makes the days go by quicker" .

  I feel bad about being a part of this...

  several years ago, approx 1995, i was a newbie elder - age 29 and was just doing the "yes man" duties around the hall.

  there was the overbearing po who was the "king" of the congo and whatever he said was gospel... if he didn't like you - you were history... needless to say - i kissed his butt and moved up the ladder quite easily.

  we had another newbie elder - in his late 40's - and he was a smart man.

  i have lurked for over a year.

  i keep coming back here - everytime i do - it's like witnessing a car wreck.

  the things i don't want to read or believe are right here before my eyes - it's like a drug.

  i was typing up a post and trying to sound sort of like a watchtower writer, intending to mock them.

  i guess microsoft must be in bed with the watchtower or something, 'cause this message popped up: .

  weird, eh?
