About Dan Sydlik...
by Patriot ini was talking to one of my brother-in-laws about his time in bethel.
he put in about 5 years.. anyway, i mentioned the post about lyman calling the new black brother "nigger", and he also said that it did not surprise him.. but what i found even funnier was the experience he had with dan.
dan sydlik had been staying at the bossert hotel while his apartment was getting renovated.

GOVERNING BODY SAID $ IS GOD'S SPIRIT
by new boy ina yew years ago i was chating with lyman swingle {gb} joking around i said, i come up with a great idea to save the society millions of dollars "and what is that?
" lyman said "well if all the brothers could do the hot bunk system, like they due on submarines, where one person is on a 12 hour shift, the other could sleep in his bed, end of the shift they switch places, the bed is always in use, the society could sell off half its buildings!
" he laughed and said "we have always felt that god's spirit would give us the money to do what we needed to do, no money no spirit!

Careers after the Truth
by Demitrius ini assume that there are people out there who feel the same way as me.
such as when they were growing up in the 'truth', did they forego career/college/university because the new system was just around the corner?.

What - if any - Religon are you now practicing?
by lydia ini know this seems like a dumb subject.. but i often wonder if many of us still believe and feel the need to worship - and not the borg either .
so here is a poll.... what religious orginization - if any - are you affiliated ( this does not mean you had to join it)?.
or - do you feel that everything is wrong due to the borg..and will you ever consider going to an organized religon again??.

New Book on Jehovah's Witnesses?
by stevieb1 inwe've had two from ray franz in the 1980/90's and one from jim penton (mid 80's) and some brilliant tomes on specific subjects such as those from carl jonnsen but now we're in 2002 isn't it time we had a new and up-to-date masterpiece to defend truth against error?.
what i mean is that most witnesses today may not be too bothered about beth-sarim or what happened within the wt back in 1975 they want to read something bang up-to-date in one succinct volume.. does anyone know of any works in progress?
the watchtower apologists (such as stafford and furuli) are quite active why aren't the ex-jw's?
