chapter 8. a monkey on a string .
my mother never really had much respect for my father.
according to her, my father was weak and “not a good spiritual head of the family.” she probably knew that deep down he was not buying the program.
I guess you could say he got all fired up over his job. It is interesting that we are a product of our enviroment and I can see traits in me that my father and mother had. I try to weed out the ones that i think are bed. Do you do the same?
thus they preach against infant baptisms.
how could a baby know what religion they what to join?
you can still be shunned if you are not baptized.
Great and spot on!
i would imagine that most brooklyn bethelites attended congo meetings via subway.. how do they manage transport from warwick?.
Hey Sparky I remember that car! It was the bomb. I only had a 69 Valient with a slant six.
I remember when I first got to the Farm I was in the Pine Bush congo. We refered to it as the Pine Box congo. There were 67 elders and 165 ministerl servents. I was the assistant in charge of one light switch (ha ha).
it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.
it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.
something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.
When I figured that there were no bigger fools than those that fool themselves!

Excellent post New Boy. I bet we met when at Bethel in the 1970's.

From a religious cult stand point they HAVE to have two classes! This is how they get their power + money. After all they think were stupid.

pastor russell's life fascinates me.
because he seems like a person who never had any fun.
such a serious face without a smile to be found!
Often times when you want to understand someone you need to look at the enviorment that they were exposed to when growing up. The one thing that Russell experienced that had to be big was the civil war, since he was born in 1853. He had to be a teenager toward the end of the war and no doubt had read the accounts of the battles and knew many who had lost loved ones, if not hearing first hand accounts. This had a big influence on all as nothing like this had happened before. Couple this with the industrial revolution and you have a perfect storm of sorts that will make people think and try to find answers for where this world is going. This is one of the reasons people joined groups that had an answer (read Masons). Others came up with answers of their own such as Russsell although he plagiarized most of his writting. Also look at the word usage he used to described thoughts and this will also help you to understand the man. Many people were not just stoic but cynical after the war.
The question: Did he laugh or joke? You bet.....all the way to the bank
Did he play jokes on people? Big time......He started a cult and lead them down a rat hole!
