I've never been to bethel....however...In my mind THIS is what Bethel must be like:
Well, sort of, but without the big telescreens. They have all the paintings from the literature looking down at you, though, and I swear some of them have eye slits...
The reason the paintings are looking down at you is because its to give you the illusion that God is watching you..
You know, His eyes are everywhere.
2 Chronicles 16:9 says:
For, as regards Jehovah, his eyes are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him. You have acted foolishly respecting this, for from now on there will exist wars against you."
I was looking through some of the pictures of Stan and July's Theocratic Vacation, and I was creeped out, yet at the same time laughing. I noticed in one of the pics. that there was a complete, mint condition set of those series of books made by Russell, one of them being the "Divine Plan" book.
