Randy's leaked Bethel video, do you remember this post?
Would enjoy seeing that footage again!

Yes, it would be nice to see it again.

Here's a rare one you'll not find elsewhere, send it to your friends!
New Bethel Entrants Introduction to the Governing Body circa 1985. Two new Bethel boys at Watchtower headquarters somehow managed to videotape this introduction to the Brooklyn Bethel headquarters of the Governing Body off of the Bethel TV screen.
It shows all the main players in the scandal and dismissal of Raymond Franz and several others that were disfellowshipped from the Watchtower headquarters in 1979-1980.
Notice their REAL qualifications for leadership as God's only true organization out of their own mouths! At about the 4:30 minute point, Karl Klein says, "I've done a better job cleaning toilets than I did presiding at the Governing Body."
I wholeheartedly agree. None of these men had any trained qualifications for leadership in a worldwide organization of millions.
1985 Bethel Entrants Video
The video was shared with us by a very dear friend who has posted here and downloaded the video years ago.
Many thanks to (Brother F) for his kind contribution!
Drinks are on the house!

Rewatching that video is triggering
20/20 hindsight.
The old batch of GB in that video are all dead now, but trauma caused by the indoctrinations & policies administrated by those old men continues to haunt so many of us here in this forum today; and the new batch of wacky GB charlatans today add insult to the injury.
Forwarded that video to some PIMI... they loved it. I mentioned how all those old GB were part of the "generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur"... but they were unphased. PIMI cannot (or will not) grasp the fallacy of it, yet. Maybe after another decade of new light & dashed hopes.
Thanks to Grandpa and Brother F for digging out that archive.
Emotionally bothersome video but therapeutically reassuring in that it is never too late to escape that phoney WT paradise
Atlantis your great bring me any old stuff I luv it.

Thank you! It was a blast from the past.

Now that we have all discovered the ugly truth about Bethel HQ (egotism, betrayal, sexual depravities & suicide)...
As you listen to these governing body leaders resolutely glorify Bethel careers and tease lifelong incentives... Think about the many former Bethel workers that volunteered decades of their life obeying WT only to eventually be kicked to the curb (aka "reassigned") in their older age with a few coins in pocket, and some sent away with health problems.
These WT governing men were either delusionally ignorant of the shamefulness things happening under their nose, or they were deliberately misrepresenting.
If this leaked video is ever lost to time (again) here are some transcripts from that Bethel Entrant culty conditioning by the JW leaders of the 1990 era.
If are not PIMI, their remarks may twist your gut:
Daniel Sydlik00:02:20"If you're new here, you have the prospect of a wonderful future ahead of you.""I remember some brothers that, I think, eh, when I was first in the factory, I saw them, they'd been here for maybe 15 years already, and they were on the cleaning crew, and 15 years more passed, and they're still on the cleaning crew, but they appreciated it, they were not at all discouraged by that, and I'm thinking I'm not doing anything, because when you're keeping the place clean, you're keeping the family healthy, and when you keep the family healthy the family produces books and magazines. This is why we appreciate all of the members of the bethel family because they're an essential part of the function of this organization."
Many thanks. These 90s videos are nostalgic, down to the music and the old fashioned clothes. Dan Sydlik used to be the roundest GB member. He looks positively trim in retrospect.
