I couldn't agree more. All one has to do is question the validity of any statement of the WTBS and they verbily attacked imediatly

I hope this will help my all pork barbecue business next door to the mosque! I'll have specials to offer: pulled pork (it was pulled while the hog was still alive), Fried squash (in remembence of those in the twin towers), smoked beans (for those bodies that were found), and my special brew of Allah beer that is called suicide mohammad that is served in a glass that is shaped like the dome of the rock and is 100 proof.

Why did God choose a group of white men in New York to run his earthly organization? Oh, and finally one black man....
by Bethelite Elder indoes this give us any insight into the elite ones of the earth?
considering, this religion is lead by the spirit?
why isn't there more of a mixture for the governing body?.

The reason: Almighty God Jehovaher inspected the planet in 1918 and just wanted white folks because they knew how to run dem dare printin presses.
When I was at Bethel it was mentioned that the current GB ('75) was the german mafia. Check out most of their last names. As the borg attracts more diverse people you will see less white people in positions of responsibility. There are few if any white people becoming witness vs black or hispanic.

Randall Watters: My Return to Christianity: The Early Years (part 3)
by Dogpatch inokay gang, warning!.
this is going to sound real new-christian preachy to some of you, but hey, this was 1982ish, so don't come down too hard on me.
i just tend to put all i got into my work, but i've mellowed out (called "getting older").. i am not a fan of churches or institutions personally; more of a loner.

First let me say that I enjoyed your experience. As a fellow press operator I can feel your pain about the heat in the press room, the ink (I used to pick my nose at the end of the day and pull out gobs of ink not to mention the paper dust). I ran a magazine press. I would like for you to tell everone on this thread of Knorr's "new boy talk". Yikes!!!!! This is a big moment in ones Bethel experience.
On a side note, do you remember Colin Lake (#4 man in the factory) running of with a Gilead sister? That was big news back then.
One of these days I will spill the beans on what I know about a lot of people at Bethel.

Watchtower sues Former Bethelite in local upstate Supreme Court!
by Bethelite Elder inwatchtower is really going after the money these days.
the same money that will be thrown in the streets.. .

This is not a link. It shows that the WTBS is being sued in NY supreme court by "Shirley Rose". If you want to find the details you have to go to the Clerk of the Court in Queens County and review the fillings. This case has been around since 2003. For it to go to the Surpreme Court means that the one or the other party has alot to lose in that it could set a "Legal President" for future decisions.
As for a former Bethelite suing the WTBS I have not found any case that has been filed in NY. Do you know what state this would be?
