  Bethel: Pathway to Apostasy

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the 'big house' you go either one of two ways, company man or apostate.

  i think for many that went, it demystified the whole organization and you saw firsthand that there wasn't holy spirit influencing anything - only the muses of sheltered, out-of-touch old men and political bureaucrats.

  i work in the corporate world and i saw just as much if not more politics in bethel.

  Doogie & updside:

  Yeah, but since you get credited 2 years of bethel service that balances out to 8 - 13 years off the backend.

  Then, add/subtract the 1000 years you get a balance of 987 - 992 years during the millenium just short of the eternity.

  Now multiply that times a time and a half a time * seven (for perfection) - 12 tribes of Israel ...

  Whoa dude you better join back up for some more full time service or else kiss your a?? goodbye!

  I am in heaven posting from my new computer which hasn't been revealed to earth yet.

  All of your comments are being recorded in my book of life data flat file.

  This will eventually be compiled and entered into a database that will then be uploaded on to our central mainframe. We have a team of angelic application developers who are programming a gui frontend for bethel (our earthly branch) to access this information.

  The gb will then have instant access to all ex-jw's so that they can decide on your eternal punishment.

  Sorry for the late details.

  i wanna hear the word that made you either physically nauseous or burst out in uncontrolable laughter.

  please demonstrate it in a sentence as well.

  mine was 'enthused' (my fingers were shaking as i typed).

  TYPE & ANTI-TYPE: Still not sure what the heck Freddy was talking about.

  APPRECIATE - witnesses don't like, we APPRECIATE

  IS IT NOT?: This is certainly a fine day for service, IS IT NOT?

  Also, why can't we say LUCKY? - We use every pagan name for days and months, but can't say the word LUCK?

  Who told us that we can't klink glasses?: We use every pagan, demonic wedding ritual but don't throw rice, give toasts or klink glasses.

  The thing that got to me was that all of the rules that were closely followed in the local congs are bypassed at the House.
  

  I did almost everything in bethel that I saw the local elders going crazy over at my local congo.

  We would drink like crazy, go on the roof to watch 4th of July and New Years fireworks and drink like crazy.

  Had our pick of NY & visiting pioneer skanks and drank like crazy.

  When I finally left and was a local elder again, suddenly I became the loose liberal forgiving elder. The young people just loved to bring their problems to me. I would honestly try to help them without making mountains out of molehills. If they had gone to brother oldfart, he would have them hanging their stained knickers in the congregation for masturbation.

  A group of our elders wanted to reprove a young ex-bethelite for sending a case of beer to his old roommates. I had to nix that idea and told them that I would handle it by speaking with him and some of the elders at bethel. I just pulled him aside and told him to try not being so obvious or they would make life hard for him. He thanked me and gave me some beer and we drank like crazy.

  What's the purpose of restrictions after reinstatement?

  the parable of the prodigal son.

  i will set out and go back to my father and say to him: father, i have sinned against heaven and against you.

  " "my son," the father said, "you are always with me, and everything i have is yours.

  Sorry but rules are made to be broken:

  I was serving as a Project Leader at WT HQ, when we needed a particular skill.

  We learned of a local brother who had considerable professional experience. The problem however was that he had only been reinstated for 3 weeks and was still on restrictions. Besides, the bethel application clearly states that one must not have had judicial action for at least 2 years.

  Well, what in heavens would we do? Thankfully the service department could override the bible code.

  We got his restrictions lifted and brought him into the house of god for 2 months.

  Thank goodness for rules!

  Dear Sweet:

  Should I ever visit your area, please allow me to:

  1. Watch you shake your money maker, while
  2. You curse like your mama's sailor, while
  3. You watch a scary movie, while
  4. You wear sexy clothes on a field trip.

  That was always my secret dream fantasy during KH meetings.

  Thanks for your comments and Best Wishes!
