My Bethel Experience part 13
by new boy inmost of us went back to bethel, thinking we wanted to make it our life long career......what better place to be right before 1975?.............that dream ended for the vast majority after just few months there, when they found out that something was very wrong.
other wise why would anyone want to leave a spiritual paradice?....
with only 2-5% staying after there 4 year commitment, and a very big percentage leaving before there time was even up.

My Bethel Experience Part 12
by new boy inthey say love is what makes the world go around.............and at bethel, us "new boys" would say..... "if god created anything better then sex...............he kept it for himself!".
how would we know?...............most of us never had it........didn't make any difference...........we talked about it...........fantasied about it...........dreamt about it..........i' m sure because we could't have it.
that is why we gloryried it so much..... hay!

Well since you asked...here goes...
A "New Boy" is what they call the newbies at Bethel....The guys that just didn't know what was really going on.....you know the dumb shits...but, no one stays dumb forever...in fact you find out even at Bethel that...
If it looks like "shit" and smells like "shit" and taste like "shit"...When the light blub flashes on over your head....Then you my friend are no longer a "new boy"
Which we have all been....No?
My avatar is me in a WW II German Luffwaffe uniform....
After leaving the borg I got into Medaphsical studies...I know believe in reincarnation...and know for a fact I was a Nazis poliot in W W II. (among other things)
Hay you asked...

Heres another thing you can do...
In a nonconfrontational way ask him, who it was that brought this religion to him. Was it his parents or someone else?
Ask him, if he thinks these are happy people?
Most the time, people who who are attracted to the "Tooth" are sad and depressed people who want God to kill 6 billion people...so the can "be happy" in some future time.
just a thought

by new boy inmore about cars and n.y.c.. back then hundreds of cars were stolen, in the city everyday!
the new york post said "the average life span of a corvette (sports car) parked on the street was 24 hours!
"...........one time coming back from r.i at 2:00 a.m. i took a wrong turn in the south bronxs.........not a place you would want to be in, that time of night............as i was driving around trying to find my way back to the express way, i could see the sparks form the cuting torches, people cuting up the cars they stolen the day before..........i was praying "please god get me out of here".

Thats a great idea.
If he he doesn't want to read it. Tell him you want to go to the elders and confess what you guys did before you got married.
That will gert his attendtion.

My Bethel Experience Part 9
by new boy inthe the worst thing, someone could call you at bethel, was a "jack".............. as in " that guy is a real jack, he doesn't work at all".
the other term not used very much anymore, was "pot licker" used basically the same way.there has been some bad things done at bethel.
you name it, someone has done it...........but the absolute worst possible thing, a bethelite could do is be a theft!

Dear Inkling
I'm sure Curtis Johnson is a lovely person now....But he was a self rightious jerk in 1972.
If you read all my Bethel post...you would have read that I too was a rightious Nazis JW at one time...the lovely about life...we all the ability to change.
Are married to Curtis or something?

Did/Does God really love people?
by buffalosrfree inat john 3:16 god says he loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believed in him will have everlasting life.
yet in revelation satan and the demons were kicked out of heaven and hurled to the earth.
how is that loving, what could possibly be the reason he would do that if he really loved us.
