History of Brooklyn Heights As Told by Russell Kurzen
by DNCall inruss kurzen was the very unofficial historian/racanteur of bethel.. one of his memorable stories was the naming of columbia heights.
it dates back to the pre-revolutionary war period before the name "america" was settled upon.
another candidate was "columbia" (america from amerigo vespucci, columbia from that other explorer, columbus).

Recollections of Ted Jaracz (edited title to not confuse with poster "TJ")
by DNCall instartfragment.
barbara anderson described ted jaracz as kind and nice to outsiders in the congregations, but mean as all get out to the average bethelite worker, sometimes seeming like two different people in one body.
i think that is a fair assessment based on what i had observed over the years.

Fractional Withdrawal
by DNCall init occurred to me that by introducing the concept of accepting blood fractions as being a conscience matter, the society has established a precedent for the disposing of other unfounded teachings.. consider, for example, birthdays:.
on your birthday it is allowable to eat cake.
it is allowable to light a candle or candles.

70 Years of Jeremiah 25:11 = 609 BCE to 539 BCE?
by DNCall inbablyon defeats assyria at the battle of harran (509 bce) and then babylon is defeated 70 years later (539 bce).. in verses 11and 12, jeremiah refers to a 70-year period of judah and the surrounding nations serving the king of babylon until the king of babylon is called to account.
although the devastations of judah, jerusalem, its temple and jewish exiles are tied to this general time period, jeremiah does not speak of these events as defining the 70 years.. society chronology aside, isn't it irrelevant when the temple was destroyed, in determining the fulfillment of jeremiah's 70-year prophecy?.

The 144,000, a Subset of "Spiritual Israel"?
by DNCall inthis is an alternative to "spiritual israel" and the 144,000 being one and the same.. two scriptures might support the subset idea:.
first, revelation 7:4-8 states that the 144,000 are "out of" the 12 symbolic tribes of "spiritual israel"--12,000 "out of" each tribe.
this would indicate to me that "spiritual israel" is a larger body than the 144,000 (whether a literal number or not).. second, the new covenant is said to be between god and "spiritual israel," entitling its members to be children of god and brothers of christ.
