Does Anthony Morris III actually have a job? Hate to think he's taking his kids to Disney-anything after tapping into the "disaster relief" donation account, or any other. And I'm sure all the near-retirees who've been booted from Branch offices (closure, downsizing, what have you) are warmed at the cockles of their hearts to know that his kid got to meet Goofy (or a reasonable facsimile, aka a guy in a costume) at last! Meanwhile, their next meal is coming from a can of catfood.
I took my daughter to Disney World for a week (went along with my brother and his entire family , his in-laws included, and ALL non-JWs). It cost approximately $1200-$1500 for a weeks stay for my daughter and I (hotel, access pass into the park itself, airline to and from, etc), even with my brother paying for every evening meal for every person. And that was in 1999. And I wouldn't trade those good times, memories and photographs for all the watchtower and awakes and fake-ass prophecies put to print by "bethel".
New York Bethel was nothing and still is nothing. Even when I was a full-on, kool-aid drinking believer it meant next to nothing to me.
Glad I kept some of my wits about me, even when I was feet first "in". Nothing like getting chewed out over the phone by my previous hall's secretary, because I had the audacity to call him to pass on a message from my new congregation regarding my records... and it was immediately after my baptism that I received that ass-chewing. I stood there and blinked for a long time. Not the first time I got verbally slapped around by a "brother", but was the first after taking the dunk.
What a bunch of hooey manure. So glad to see the real "truth".
