Faders are indeed a large army...
by undercover in...and i think it's starting to show.. i started a thread the other day about being hounded after several years of having successfully(?
) faded.
i've been taken aback a bit the recent developments but i'm making a new strategy...one that depends more on sticking to my guns and laying the cards on the table.

Leaving bethel References ?
by leo999 ini would like to know from anyone who has left bethel .
do the brothers give the people leaving bethel an employment reference , and how is it worded ?
i would prefer to think that if someone is asked to leave due to downsizing , or restructuring , that the bros do everything they can to enable that one to find employment and cope outside .

For how long can they massage the figures ?
by leo999 inso looking at the worldwide report , the baptisms are down , many countries are 0 growth ,publishers, hours , and studies up because of changes in reporting methods .
but just how long can the propping up of numbers happen for , before the real downward slide starts ?
a year or two tops , which will be real close to 2014 .

I received an email from Ray Franz
by Out at Last! ini have read on this site that if you write to ray, he will reply.
i was skeptical about this, so i wrote him about how much i appreciated reading the book crisis of conscience and thanked him for his time and effort in writing and documenting his experiences in bethel.
after a few weeks with no reply, i thought that i would never get one.

untitled
by leo999 ini always have felt that the meetings at the kh lacked any spirit , were more like an academic exercises , with boring speakers lacking any enthusiam .
there seemed to never be any holy spirit flowing or if there was , it bypassed me !!.
coming out now from this , i have to admit being a little scared by some of the services i have only heard about , where they say the holy spirit is poured out , as it is sooo different to what we have been used to .. so i guess what i'm trying to ask is , have any of you ever had an ' experience ' or received the holy spirit , and you knew for sure it was that , and can you share how you knew and what it felt like ?.
