  what is the wt's stance on dubs visiting historic churches?

  by moomanchu in

  i drives me crazy when jw's go on tours of historic churches, the vatican, or mosques .

  they go in the church take pics, and oooo and ahhhhh over the buildings.. why the f_ _ _k are they expressing awe and wonder at what they believe to be satan's world headquarters .. don't they know jehovah is soon about to destroy all these architectural wonders.. jw relative has just come back from visiting the vatican.. stupid cult aaahhh !!.

  If I recall correctly, back in the 70's when new Gilead students came to Bethel they would get a tour of NYC and one of the stops they would visit was St. Patricks Cathedral.

  When I was in Bethel I worked in the Bindery. There was a guy I worked with that had gone to College and had a BA degree but became a Witness right after he graduated and applied to Bethel. One day, he was told he was going to be working in the Legal Dept. and I understand they sent to get further education and last I heard was still there. It was strange to be in Bethel and know that someone with a degree was almost hand picked over those of us who didn't have a degree because they listened to the Societies advice regarding higher education.

  I had that same observation. Three guys I worked with in the bindery had college degrees and they all landed assignments that their advanced education was in. That was not lost on any of us who observed that.

  Randy,

  Your story brings back memories as I was also at Bethel at the same time that you were. Even recognize a number of people in the pictures from the press room.

  Thanks

  Bethelite reverence

  by Waffles in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have any of you had the experience of a bethelite brother visiting your kh?.

  here's how it always seemed to go in my experience:.

  there is a general kh-wide excitement in the air that a real, live bethelite rockstar is at the hall; overheard are numerous convo's featuring words like "o, he's a bethelite".. visiting brother bethelite gives the closing prayer and is immediately mobbed by adoring fans.. all the single sisters are on high alert, you can smell the estrogen in the air.

  Having spent time in Bethel I can relate to comments made. Some of the guys I knew really took advantage of being a 'Bethelite". One year at a DC I ran into a friend. His name tag, instead of the two lines for name and congregation filled up both lines with the word "Bethel".

  There was one long timer at Brooklyn Bethel years ago, not a partaker I think. His wife died, he went into serious depression and very sadly committed suicide there at Bethel.

  The person you are thinking of is Richard Wheelock.
