  Witness Royalty and the last day at the "Towers"

  by Lynnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my uber elder cousin and his wife got the "privilege" of having one last "toast" of wine at the rooftop garden at the towers in nyc since the jw's are vacating to warwick.

  his oldest daughter and son in law are quite high up in the inner circle so they get invited to all the "inner circle" activities.

  even though they aren't supposed to toast to anything it was pretty darn close.

  Bethel Prestige

  What is Bethel Prestige?

  I only knew 2 interracial couples in the 70's married to black females, none of which had any prestigious jobs.

  CoCo a poster here had a "prestigious "job and his overseer was the most respected non-anointed brother in bb neither of which had anything better than the rest of us except that after 15 or 20 years of working 60 hour weeks plus other work building work and assignments, you got seniority to bid to room in towers and have a room with no roommate. I only remember 2 married couples, maybe a couple more who gleaned lunch left overs. The rest bought in commissary and at the local deli. Food was cheap and the allowance covered it. (It cost a dime to bring your suit to the bethel dry cleaners.)

  You could not even park a Volkswagen in the heights, let alone a townscar overnight in the 70s.

  Updated Recommended Reading List

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not long after i joined here i posted a reading list of books that helped me wake up, but since then i've read so many more that i've found invaluable in furthering and refining my new worldview, plus giving me a more in-depth well read perspective on theological and scientific issues.

  so i thought i'd post an updated comprehensive list for other voracious readers like me who are always looking for good books to read.

  how jesus became god - bart d. ehrman.

  Pretty much everyone gleaned after meals so they had something to snack on later.

  What meals? No one gleaned from lunch meal except for cold cuts day or pizza, except for a couple of married couples. We ate all the good stuff.

  Barbara and CoCo were as higher up as you can get in job assignments and they did not ride in limousines.

  I hate this cult more and more.

  Then base your hate on information that is accurate and that truly represents the facts.

  The only person I know that had a big car and it wasn't black or a towns car was NHK and he did not even want it, he wanted to take public transportation like everybody else but forced him to have it because we did not want the President of the wt to be walking around taking public transportation and it was a gift. The only enjoyment he got from the car was that it was a gift and that it gave the bros joy to see him in it. No royalty at bb except after being there 20 or more years you got seniority.

  it's a deja vu from matthew..."for nation shall rise against nation.....".

  it seem that periods of instability occur around the world periodically.

  since the arab spring to brexit and trumpism people want change.

  lol.it is.

  Doesn't matter. My argument considered it is.

  ppl should be allowed to vote and decide for themselves.

  I already replied to your argument: The vote for Independence in Catalonia does not represent the people of Spain only the people of Cat.
