    what the heck is a need greater!?!

    Perhaps this will only resonate with ex-Bethelites:

    New boy (new Bethel entrant)

    The hub of Jehovah's organization (Bethel)

    New boy talk (what you used to get as a group after arriving at bethel telling you what you could or could not do at Bethel)

    Orientation (your tour around Bethel)

    Table head (the elder that sat at the end of the dining room table and got to pass around all the food. In one direction one day and in the other direction the next day)

    Bethel elder (someone who held some sort of responsible position at Bethel)

    Potlicker! (I don't know exactly what it meant, but it sure was popular when I was there)

    Bad attitude or a "B.A." (someone who had issues with the Bethel rules.

    Home overseer (the elder in charge of running a particular Bethel residence)

    Factory overseer (the guy who ran the entire printing facilities)

    Service desk (the office complex that would deal with the congreations and policies)

    Farm overseer (at Wallkill at one time, it meant the guy who ran everything, but he had sub overseers to run the magazine presses know as the "Factory", the farm facilities and what-have-you.)

    He or she is not "strong in the truth "

    You are not a Witness unless you are Witnessing.

    It's been mentioned previously but the phrase' heavy petting is wrong during courtship' always made me say Oh Eck ! whenever it was mentioned.

    We don't believe in luck.

    Heard quite often, " it's not your question that's bothering me it's why are you questioning "

    Spritual indegestion especially after trying to figure out new light.

    Heard on a few occasions "Who needs money more than the Society "

    Just to cover the cost of the printing.

    Spiritually weak.

    That book is a bit deep if you are new in the truth.

    Special Edition of the magazine.
