ok so i am bored at work and probably someone else has commented on this but check this out:mike adams here: i enjoyed my work at brooklyn bethel, mountain farm and w.t.

farm 1974 to 1979...worked with steve watters and so many others, ...remember one big factory worker giving me some static at the table i was waiting on so i dumped the full gallon of milk on his head and cooled him off quick!

also worked nights as walking watchman, and days as moving & maintenance crewman, our crew consisted of seven guys all named "mike"...one poor watchman wasn't watching and stepped into an open elevator shaft down at the squibb bldg...used to snowboard from 124 down to squibb and at night almost ran down a couple of governing body members in the hallway from 124 to 107 on those furniture coasters...also made trash runs with "marcus stapletonius" and if anyone remembers the wierd sounds of loud toilet flushing and laughter emanating from somewhere in the towers at night, that was me and mike presutti, the dual-headed 'phantom of the towers' playing with recordings and loudspeakers out the windows.

Status quo or risk it all?

my family and i have a pretty good relationship despite the fact that i faded away about 7 years ago.

the question is due i have the obligation to try to save them from themselves and by doing so risk not only our relationship but perhaps pushing them further into the "truth"?

i know that many people are of the school of thought that you just have to let them find out for themselves, but i can see that my parents are hardheaded or blind and i think they deserve at least few years of freedom before they pass on.

a question: how does an elder move ahead?

what i mean is my father has been an elder for over 20 years and as far as i know he has never been offered any high profile jobs, co etc, never gotten to give the big talks at assemblies, etc, i was just wondering is there some type of politics that goes along with it?

Can Baptisms be anulled?

by Azalo in

i was baptised when i was 12 years old and i dont feel like at that age i was mature enough to take such a drastic step.

i dont think its right to be df'd for something that i never really did since the baptism is really only a symbol of the dedication and i never did that.

i just was going along with the flow.
