  my computer crashed so i am not fully informed of the recent antiwatchtower organization.

  i must vent, however.

  perhaps i am the only one on the face of the earth (or the entire universe) but i found cedar's opening announcement insulting.

  Being honest & fair, can you think of anything that the Watchtower does that's beneficial to the public?

  i'm curious, as where i reside there's about to be a major brouhaha over the tax exempt status of a major player in this area.

  reading and hearing the arguments from both sides conjured thoughts about the tax exempt status of religions and the arguments associated with that issue.

  a significant portion of the arguments related to that issue center around how a tax exempt organization benefits it's community.

  How can anyone who is truly spiritual-minded attend Bethel and not realize it's all a scam

  by sosoconfused in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  not that i was any better(lol - but as i sat back and thought about the time i spent there, and the things i saw i feel disgusted.. i could literally write a thousand stories about the discrimination, favortism and all out dishonest that took place but i doubt anyone would actually care.

  the one thing however that really sticks out in my mind is when i was in a nice room with my roommate that he kind of inherited after his previous roommate left.

  it actually had a bathroom and we both had space for real beds(not those dang trundle beds like we had in standish).. .
