My bethel application
by Elsewhere ini only did the two week temp thing, but i still had to fill out a long application and send it back.
one of the questions that stands out in my mind was something to the effect of: "do you believe that the organization of jehovah's witnesses is god's sole spirit directed organization on earth?
when i read that, i felt a strange sensation.
