A man is as much responsible for the evil he does....as the evil he LETS happen.
The most powerful pray a man can make is "God take me were I need to go"
Not were "I want to go"
dear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

there were guys at bethel, who had great jobs........like don brouex.....he was the receptionist at the 124 desk....checking in and "checking out" ......all the bethel tours and "hot" sisters......on there way through the "home tour"............that my friend, is not a real bethel job.. there were guys at bethel, that had great congergations with maybe only 2-4 bethelities in their halls.
one hall, midtown had over 80 bethelites there.............. 3 old ladies 4 kids and a dog.
odds of getting a home cook meal on sunday 0%.
Bone yard week for Bethel.
well it is 4:00 a.m. in the morning and i can't sleep, so might has well write.. everything at bethel is seniority........"how long have you been here?
" if you wanted a better room you need some seniority, rooms would go up on a bid system.
if you were a new boy, and all your friends were new boys, it could be a year or two before you got a decent room and 10 years to get a room with its own bathroom, pre towers days.
Bone yard week for my bethel experiences.
a job offer has come our way that looks excellent.
however, it is located in pascagoula, ms. i am wondering how the area is faring since katrina.
does anybody know this area, and if so, what is your view of it.
My exbrother inlaw lives in Mississippi he said "The good thing about Mississippi is you don't ever have to worry about a recession...because it like that all the time here"...(poorest standard of living in the united states)
I lived in Northern Louisana for two years (bible belt)....I liked what George Carlan said about "the deep south"..."I love going to the south it like going back in time 200 years"
Of course if your rich you can live anywhere and it will be fine, even Mississippi.
I'm sorry my friend, I'm sure this was not what you were looking for....but come on...Mississippi?
don't get me wrong...........there was no one more self righteous then me at 19. moved to kansas at 18 to pioneer and even printed up cards that said............ "have sword with travel"---------contact casarona salina kansas------ aaa (availabe after armegeddon)-----ss (sacred service)...... oh, i was full of myself!
thought of myself as a spiritual gun fighter.
to defend truth, justice and all the watchtower bible and tract society stood for.
Well most us worked hard there. We took pride in our work...A few didn't they were called a "Jack" or a "Fake Out"...they got so much shit from the rest of us, they pick up the pace or got a job change, The overseers would move you to a job were you couldn't fake out on, say a bindry line or a sewing machine. It was like the rowers in the movie "Ben Hur" you were chained to machine.
Has for Doctors When I got there we had the good Doc Dixon. In fact I set on his table. If you read the rest of my Bethel series I talk about him.
i need your help i'm going to a "movie meet up group" in 30 mins.. i think it was a poor year in movies.. what do you think?

I think it was a poor year in movies.
What do you think?
sound familiar?.
this question was recently asked for the children in my congregation to answer.
i was kind of amused and disturbed at the same time by their responses.. .
Even when I was a witness I said this...
N.H. Knorr...
I know what your thinking...but he is going to heaven right?....WRONG, God in his infinate justice will bring him back and put his ass on a bindry line.
i haven't left.... 1 thing while i'm actually in is being here though.... i'm happy here.
i actually feel for the first time really "right" about something... .
Well nobody really said it....they said "dating"....nothing illegal about that.
So I guess I'll say it.......I slept with someone of the opposite sex (it was O.K. though) because all we did was sleep in the same bed together...nothing happen that night.
okay, so it should be very soon when the theme for the 2008 convention will be made public.
what do you think the them will be?
"Millions now living will soon be dead"
people would ask me "how long do you plan on staying at bethel" i would say "forever!.....or 4 years which ever comes first" .
besides the about 48 hours you worked there a week, you would have other duties too.
there was dish duties.
Bethel week, 2 threads a day!
