  in the past i visited bethel and got to 'tour' around.

  here men & women worked their asses off every single day - a full 8 & 1/2 hours a day.

  they had to make sure they were up at the crack of dawn to attend the reading of the day text.

  UnderCover

  i feel so absolutely 'wicked' sometimes 'cos my cousin who works with me & is a witness needs to usually get to the files behind me & he sees when i'm on here and he's pretty inquisitive but not to the extent that he'd actually come on here - he asked if this was related to the societies site & i was like - yeah it does in a way - a lot of people come on here and air their views.

  so now everytime he comes toward me i hit the minimise key & play at some work (though i am his boss).. i feel like i'm going undercover - shame i just don't want to hurt the boys' feelings.

  though in our little chat the other day i was joking around and said that i was preping him for when he get's disfellowshipped.. i'm the b a d cousin

  Organisational Re-adjustments

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  right so i'm plowing through "crisis of conscience" and have come across one of the ""most significant organisation re-adustments in the moden day history of jws", where they speak about how the organisation will be run because of knorrs' failing health and how extra men will be appointed.

  it got me thinking that surely they could have come up with more exciting changes & take overs.

  it seems that everything was made to seem that this was a huge & signifcant thing in the everyday lives of us normal plebs, when in fact it went un-noticed really.

  well my dream last night was rather intersting.

  dreamt i went back to the kingdom hall and everyone had access codes & these computerised dog collars on (neon lights and all) my code had expired & i never recieved a dog collar.

  so i go off to the reception desk & there's this very prim & proper witness lady with her flashing dog collar ticking away at her pee cee.
