i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
Anyone heard of Ron Drage or Ron Rage at London Bethel?
it was listening to Ron Drage --district servant--in my mid teens 1964 made me give up my job to go pioneering. its been downhill all the way since.
His name crops up on here from time to time. Last mention of him he was seriously ill, so i dont know if he's still alive.
now today this is of course a non-issue.
the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.
in fact the creator book has some decent info.. however i have a good copy of the 1958 paradise book.
but--seriously--does anyone believe the adam and eve story ?
i was six, not given any choice.
i remember being in the old kh, and my dad told me the brothers wanted to talk to me in the back...i was terrified.
i actually thought they knew i didn’t want to be a dub, my dad told them to just add me as a publisher, so no back room meeting.
i was about 12 when i started going "on the doors". often on my own--especially tuesday evenings before the book study.
imagine...a 12 year old kid..out door knocking..tuesday evening...in the dark..in HANDSWORTH.....!
but that was 60 years ago..things have changed.
i might have missed this but blondie was always one of the best posters here.
her analysis and commentary was spot on.. is everything ok with her?

@One post Wonder
welcome to the site
they still have a hold of you in some way if you spend too much of your time even thinking about them.
exactly what ive thought for years.
i hope you will stay awhile and contribute some more.
i have a niece who is trying to get pregnant.
she was telling me her husband had to go to a room with porn in it and masturbate into a cup to get tested.
i never thought of this before but but how would a jw handle this.
Ever come up before ?

Why do you like this site so much Toby Jones 262/ Phoenix rising/wolverines?
So..wolverines is actually penis rising ? I should have figured that out.
Good bye Wolverine.
with the virus thing going on, there's more tv time here in the rub a dub household.. watching jaws for the 20th time still is fun.
then all the killer stingray, whales and other sea creatures is interesting.. we watched moby's dick last night.
it's an old classic like jaws.
i saw Jaws when it first came out. i was living on the seafront on the isle of Wight UK at the time. i never went in the sea again that year.
this is a great movie.

i take it your talking about the US ? "the left" means different things in other countries.
but one i remember was a full on dyed in the wool believer how was a farmer.
around 1975 he sold his farm moved his family to a very rural place and waited for the end to come.
he ended up working for his brother in law hanging drywall.
here in the UK i get the state pension. i can live on it. no complaints. i count myself fortunate in getting it. throughout my working life i never paid into a works pension scheme, and couldnt afford a private one.
fortunately for me--my old JW dad held a good job with benefits--and had bought his own home. on his death i was his sole beneficiary. so i have a comfortable home.
