Britain Branch Construction - UPDATE

by The Searcher in

definitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .

me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.

debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

Eden that makes the most sense. Perhaps they dont need as large of a dining hall and laundry services as we have heard, and now need to make more room for personal laundromats and whatever else is changing.

>And I think it's hilarious that the issue of "a private message staying private" is being hotly debated on a thread about life in bethel--the land of no privacy.

seriously. Hey, Morpheus I am mad that you are risking outing yourself by giving you personal information in a thread that is not about me at all.

Seriously Fisherperson, Morpheus did nothing to harm you, he simply shared himself with all. Now if you have more personal information you wanted to share with him, I guarantee you that he would not have posted it here. There is a huge gigantic difference between the two and I can't believe that there even needs to be a discussion on it.

Fisherperson if you have more questions about bethel that you want a private discussion of, and you don't trust Morpheus for some reason fell free to PM me and I'll do my best to answer and ill keep it to PM, but honestly it seems you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Nothing personal about you was disclosed here. I was there in the early 2000s in Brooklyn. Waaay back when we paid for text messaging.

107 was nice. It was all young guys and we handled our own problems. They closed it down around 2003 to remodel it, thats why i had to move. 124 had too many heavies and you would get in trouble for everything. I was way down at the end by that old tiny elevator that got stuck if you moved too much while it was going up.

G jobs Morpheus. Also parents sent me $100 a month and I had a car and a close congo so I actually made money off having a car and doing airport runs. Gotta hustle to survive, I owed Bethel money most months because I hated most of their food and cooked on a hotplate and convection oven in my room. Lived in 107 till they remodeled it and then was in a nice room in 124. I actually had one of the huge rooms down around the corner in 107 to myself for almost 6 months before Mark Alba finally made me get a roomate.

They announced disfelowshippings from bethel at the morning worship table. Carey Barber once read one and threw the paper down and said "GOOD RIDDANCE". Hell I was there when they announced the UN NGO from the table. I was there on 9/11. They totally played that like it was gonna kickstart the great tribulation.

I was there during all the layoffs starting around 2003 when they started moving the factory to Walkill. Saw a lot of lifelong bethelites get the boot. CBGB was a great place to go drink and listen to music. So was Continental, Water Street Bar down in Dumbo had great deals on Monday nights and I would skip WT study to go get 2 for 1 burgers and beers. Pete's was a great bar on Atlantic near Furman that had Ostrich burgers and buffalo Calamari and introduced me to micro-brewers. Touring the brooklyn brewers so many times they started just giving me beer soon as i showed up.

Gilead meals. I got to drink in the Administration offices because my table foot was one of the GB helpers. I remember one time I think it was Jarez looked a little drunk by the time the gilead meal began and he was running it that time.

They knew everyone drank that day and my department wouldnt let anyone use forklifts after lunch.

Housekeepers went through your stuff. Mailroom went through your stuff. Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue got delivered in a large envelope so the housekeepers wouldnt be offended. Me and my roomate once got called home early from work by our home overseer because we had too many decorations out on our desks and dressers and made it tough for the housekeeper to dust apparently.

Types, anti-types, starting fresh?

by Crazyguy in

do you think these changes are being made so they can start teaching the r&f a new set of doctrines?

or is this just a fly in the ointment just to continue to confuses the masses so they don't know what the hell to think anymore?.

and if you think its so they can teach new doctrines, do you think their going to go more main stream?.

OneEyedJack

They are using this to ease into saying, we will no longer produce or reference old literature, there is no need to keep or read literature more than 5 years old.

Then it will all disappear from KH libraries and online.
