  as we entered a door of the administration building we did not head to the elevator to take us up the eight floors to the main administration floor.

  i looked around the room and asked, "what's up with her?

  i was going to work with the elder from hell who ran the photography department.

  Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy, does this thread bring back the memories of days gone by. And also bye, bye for that matter. BTW the name of the English woman - Marina Sydlick (AKA Ice Woman). The photo dept. overseer - Jim Spencer, later demoted for using the Bethel equipment to make money (discussed elsewhere on this board). Don't know who you slammed with the door, sounds like fun.

  Leave poor Freddy and his sartorial skills alone. I always found it quite amusing to see what he would wear next. I remember him giving someone's (Bethelite) funeral discourse wearing a Hawaiian style shirt with a paisley tie and no jacket. Probably the same shoes you saw. It was a hoot.

  don't know if this was posted or not but after reading this story the moral is that we should always have a chaperone with us wherever we go!

  According to the rules of the WTS they must now be disfellowshipped because they spent the night together under improper circumstances.

  Learning The Language.

  a few moments ago, in the chat room, reference was made to a tv series called "mi 5".

  now simon, little toe and myself had never heard of it, even though it's a brit programme.

  reason is, because in the uk, it's simply called "spooks".. it was immediately pointed out to us that this is a derogatory term in the us, although over here it simply means "ghosts".. so, ladeez and gentlemen, .

  In the south it would be completely inappropriate to use the word around certain persons of color. No offense intended but I do know some who would be offended regardless of your personal meaning in using it.

  Did the Watchtower Society Construction Crews in Brooklyn Bury Some Bodies?

  2. scandals

  well this isn't exactly what you might think, but i have the following information based on what i consider good authority.

  still, it's without a shred of hard evidence.

  i am bringing it up now before the watchtower society tries to sell off the particular building in question.

  Don't know about your math Elsewhere, sounds uh uh uh... it's been too long since my college days, but Ol Max Larson later said that it was the rollers that expanded due to temp changes after running for a time, thus the register changes made the product unacceptable for dub publications. Don't know if this is true or not. Given the mass of the roller it's hard to believe that it would heat up enough to expand.

  I do know that that million dollar press never printed the first book that actually made it into circulation. The press was orginally designed to print comic books and low budget type publications. Not intended for high quality operation. I always said they should cut it into little pieces and encase them in plastic, then sell them as momentos of Bethel. Bet they would have gotten that money back in a heartbeat.

  old technology and internet

  by lurk in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how did the org cope with the invention of tv radio and film magazines/the printing press and photography.. was watching a prog on early movies ..at the seaside there were movies machines with films like "what the butler saw" servanats and mistresses making whoopee in the larder.

  not like today but must have been pretty daring in the old days and rude for the old days.

  this was really really old brown and flickering film.so something objectionable to the early congregations?

  I think the old boys in Brooklyn just can't believe the power of the internet, nor can they out figure how to control it. Hence it must be evil for the R & F to use it.

  Bro gives talk by laptop...lol

  despite my hangover, i reluctantly went to the meeting yesterday (the gaps are getting bigger each week).

  i know that my eyes were a bit out of focus, but this is true, the young elder (age 27ish) gave the talk from his laptop.

  his audience contact was crap as his eyes kept scrolling down the screen, mind you it was the worst talk i had heard for years, one of those 30 scriptures in 45 minutes events what we used to call read and run with no explanation.. .

  and I forgot to add... If I chose to go to an assembly and actually wanted to take notes on my laptop and some attendant told me to quit I would tell him to stuff it rightquick.
