Coping With Parents' Becoming Jehovah's Witnesses
by DNCall inmy sister recently wrote a short piece on the impact of our parents' becoming jehovah's witnesses in the 1950s.
she was a teenager at the time.
what is so striking and disturbing is that the same predicament faces so many teenagers to this day.

Ironically i too had a bill when i left that i didnt pay.... you know what they did? They sent a letter to my PO lol.... no i never paid it and he even laughed (it was small, 20 bucks or so). His words were “put it in the contribution box when you get a job”. Bastards.

Again, my point is made by his own words. He took it from the commissary knowing he had to pay for it. Making a video to complain about them being petty is even more petty then they were in the first place. He KNEW it wasnt free. He knew it from the first day he walked into the commissary.
There is so much wrong at bethel, so much wrong with how they treat people, that to cry over shopping in a commissary when he KNEW he had to pay is ridiculous and only fuels the idea that apostates are disgruntled and unreasonable.
New boy has been sharing a very real and accurate picture of life at bethel and all of its brutality and heartlessness. Vary more valuable than nonsense over fruit.

Slim, i see you trying and i dont fault you for looking for the reasonable explanation here, but again, the commissary is cash and carry. Everyone at bethel knows it from day one. There is a cashier for god sake. Every bethelite knows that if you dont want to eat then you simply carry food away for later. They even have a stupid ass bethel word for it (lifted from the bible that i refuse to type). There is no just reason or cause for this man to believe that he didnt have to pay for food from the commissary. Its an exaggerated story to make bethel look bad which dosent need exaggerated stories to look bad.

If it was a commissary situation he has zero right to complain. From day one you know the commissary is cash and cary. Just because you were asked to leave dosent entitle you to be able to take things from the commissary without paying. Thats exactly what i mean by exaggerating facts. They didnt ask him to pay for food because he was leaving, they asked him to pay for something he stole. We do no favour for the exjw community to with that sort of nonsense.

Yes it was two weeks to organize your affairs and arrange to get out. “Fair” by the worlds standards of terminating employment but definitely unloving for “gods people” to do to someone who has volunteered for a year or more at great personal expense.
If someone took me wrong and thinks im somehow defending the orgs hq, please understand bethel fucked me over for a year and i have zero love for them or the org as whole. I couldnt leave fast enough and its one of the reasons i eventually was able to leave, seeing what hq was really like... if someone just dosent like me calling bullshit on something that is clearly bullshit then feel free to continue allowing your hate to make you gullible. Bethel dosent charge for food. The only exception that someone mentioned was the commissary which is possible but i didnt include it that because the commisary was cash and carry when i was there, they didnt bill for it. That may have changed.
My philosophy remains: there is far more than enough to hang them for without making things up or exaggerating the facts.

You get notice. All bethelites get billed every month for “services” like phone calls. I call bullshit on the bill for fruit. The only exception would be if he were df’d. Then you are given a buss ticket and shown the door immediately, your possessions shipped to you later. Still no bill for food though.

Facial hair and Witnesses
by Jules Saturn ini never understood why the society was against beards or goatees but completely okay with mustaches.
what's the difference?
facial hair is facial hair, whether it's above your lip or around your cheeks or under your chin.

Punk, in almost certain that story is in print in the dubbies own literature. It is indeed one of the traditional reasons that beards are frowned upon, passed down generationally and nobody knows why and nobody will question.
