Just as a side note: So many of the elder dubs are retired military and as a conditon of their retirment they MUST agree to be activated back into the military in the case of a national emergency. They are still considered a part of the military as long as they recieve military retirement pay. How many elders have you known that were retired military? Is anything done to them? 30 years ago I knew of a brother who was DA for being drafted, the judicial committee was all retired military!

After that.........."They shall know the truth and the truth shall ...........MAKE THEM MAD!

I have always likened it to a person that finds out they have a disease.
First: denial
Second: anger
Third: resolve
Fourth: hope
Remember: You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you.............MAD!!!

First welcome to the board Fading Eld
Sorry to hear of your problems Fading eld. Next time the elders meet with you, tell your wife: "welcome to the spritual paradise!" This is what the new system will be like for those that think of the info they are being fed. (remember: there are no bigger fools than those that fool themselves)

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini 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.

JOEL REED CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I roomed with him for 6 months. Nice guy but you could tell he was very femmine
I often wonder what has happened to so many that I knew at Bethel. Some of them must be old geezers by now, I wonder if they got the boot yet. It would be devestating to them I'm sure.

I think they found Zenke's body along the side of the road with 6 bullet holes in the back............Watchtower Society said it was the worse suicide they had ever seen. (just kidding)

On your first date tell them to keep their hands in their pockets and their feet to themselves. You'll do OK if these rules are followed.
