If I was still in the ORG, I'd be MAD AS HELL (like any JW old-timer would be) about that 10 Hour Basic Pioneer Level.
And this is coming from someone who used to bust his ass trying to get 90 hours a month when I was a dyed-in-the-wool dub!

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.

ignoranceisbliss: I was in the same circuit as northeast. Did you go there? I remember when Ray Lockhart (who later went to head up the Bethel art department) was there along with James Bates (who was mad-cool), Richard Spreng, and a few others. And yes, I remember when all that went down with Danny and Eleanor. I always liked her. Danny could be a major prick!
Danny's father Frank was at WTFarms and was a great guy. Very down-to-earth. He got disfellowshipped and left the WTFarms after his wife died. Don't know where he ended up. He had another son who I think settled in the Jersey area?

confusedandalone: Bobby Riviera. That name sounds familiar. Which department was he in?
Anybody remember Danny DeMatteis? And his wife Eleanor? They were originally from Detroit.

Anyone remember Charles Banks? He was in cleaning in Brooklyn, but I think I ended up at the Farms or Patterson. Anyone remember Jared Lopes? He is a waiter who I believe is still there.

MTS & Gilead: Can we talk about how much of a FAILURE these 2 schools were/are?
by Black Man ini know quite a few from both of these schools who basically crashed and burned once they got into their assignments.
graduates of these schools would be thrown into foreign territorities or remote areas without a good visible means of support and would get emotionally, mentally, financially burned out.
post your experiences or of those you know that went to these pitiful excuses for educational institutions..

IN HINDSIGHT.................
by Black Man innow that i've been away from the cult going on 4 years, one huge absurdity that sticks out in my mind is that we were doing things out of service to an invisible king.
let me repeat an invisible king, whose only proof that he existed was through a global public relations magazine distribution campaign.
no visible show of this king's sovreignty, no activity by this king to act on his campaign platform.

Anyone know what became of Dennis Mercer? He was a Bethel elder (at Brooklyn), would often be at the desk at 107, went to Patterson Congo in the Bronx, but later got disfellowshipped and kicked out of Bethel for being a bit of a gigilo with a couple of the sisters. Last heard he was trying to get back in the org, but that was about 10 years or so ago.
