    As you all know, back in December the US Bethel families were told of a major downsizing. The word was, "If you've been thinking of leaving, now is a good time." Some three months later the pink slips are being given out. Three in my hall are being, the official word is, "reassigned home."

    What a load of euphemistic crap! Why can't it just be admitted that like all corporations, you're downsizing. Reassigned home? Please!!! I'm going to reassign myself another martini.

    The only upside of all of this is that thousands of Bethelites that used to look down on everyone who wasn't perfect are going to get a taste of what life is like for the R&F.

    Yep. And good luck to them, trying to find a real job, in the real world. I suppose they'll pioneer, and live off mom and dad for awhile....maybe apply to serve where the need is greater....in a hot country, of course....never in a land where there is unrest or snow.

    Don't worry about our returning troops. The elder businessmen in the congo (with daughters) will gladly provide work. I.E. Judah Ben?
