    "Thank you so much for your concern over our family in the path of the
    storm. We also have our extended spiritual family there and this
    morning the information we have received is that all the Bethel
    Buildings are intact except for a facade on one of the buildings on
    Sands Street was blown off. Other than that, "sea sickness"
    is the common problem due to the constant swaying of the highrise
    buildings that house our brothers and sisters. The buildings at Bethel
    are very well built and designed to sway without collapsing. Everyone
    is asked to stay inside.

    Most of the Bethelites have remote connections to their work and are
    working from home. Monday night Family Worship was not cancelled but
    televised for all to enjoy at home. "

    I love this part:

    Gosh, what foresight those Bethelites have! They are the only ones in the whole world to think of designing buildings that "sway without collapsing"!

    Why don't worldly engineers follow their example?!?!? Only Jehovah's organization could come up with such a brilliant idea!

    Idiots.

    Well, ain't that nice. Just a little seasickness (landlubbers)... and Bethel managed to still have Monday night Family Worship. I'm sure that's a relief to all the dozens, if not hundreds, of JWs in the entire Northeast who lost belongings and homes.

    No escaping the weekly drivel.

    Neither hell nor high storm waters will stop Family Worship night! By jiminy no! I wonder if any Bethelites sneakily changed channels.

    LOL

    I have to sit in conference calls occasionally from my cubicle, and I'm doing any and everything other than paying attention I can only imagine how many in Bethel didn't bother to watch or lsiten.

    I didn't realize their family worship night was a group thing up there. Is it mandatory to be present?

    Sadly, I highly doubt any of the Bethelites can turn off their telescreens.

  • wha happened?
    wha happened?

    weren't most of their buildings already built and they just purchased them?
