i dropped my old computer 2 weeks ago and had to get a new one.

i tried to log on under "new boy" for over a week and since there was no way to retrieve my old pass word i gave up and started a new profile as the bethelite.

i just want to thank everyone for the help in getting my new book out, in fact i put this website in the dedication in the book.

Armageddon has started in Astoria, Queens

now we know that the con ed plant in astoria, queens had an explosion, but before anyone knew what the heck was going on, so many people were posting on social media their pictures of the "strange blue circle light" that was in the sky this evening,usually st. johns which is near me has a fireworks display after a game, i thought this doesn't look like fireworks, much brighter and no sound, it actually looked like it was 4pm in the afternoon right before the sun leaves the sky.. i live in the jamaica section of queens (just up from trump's foot dr. if you saw that article in nytimes.

com the other day) and haven't lost power but laguardia is dark now, no flights in are out.

just wondering how the old school dubs that saw the lights outside window, thought "finally, the big a is here" !.

Is Child Abuse An Issue That You Personally Have Seen In The Organization?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
as an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.

he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.

he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.

I've Just Noticed Something About The "Remember The Wife Of Lot" Video
by pale.emperor in
1. jw
2. experiences
maybe you guys got on to this right away, but i've just noticed something about the remember the wife of lot video.. we all know the scene where the judgmental jw dad gives that disapproving look to the girl who has lesbian parents:.

this look actually appears again throughout the video - but on other jws.

in the scene where the new brother is out in service with the former co. look at the new brothers reaction to when a "worldly" person knows the former co from work:.

No princesess in new order? Really??
by dugout in
1. jw
2. friends
a couple of months ago this crazy gb member via video gave a talk about their would be princes in the new order but no princesses.

i thought that was so funny.

especially after he beated around the bush the whole talk, finally saying in the last sentence their would be princes but no princesses in the new system,then the video just blacked out.
