Blondie Excellent review as usual!!! I made the mistake of going before reading your review, and almost tossed my cookies. My husband had to give me a nudge because my fingers were just tapping away on my bible at all the CRAP they were talking about today. How dare they say anything about Christendom prostituting herself, when they have done the SAME, what hypocrites!!!

AAAAHHHHHHHRRRRGGGGGG!!!!

It was really tough sitting through that, that will teach me to always read your excellent review so I can decide if I can stomach it.

Thanks, You are great!!!

Life in Bethel & Ex-Bethelites know if the GB prayed together?

by Sheepish in

i have always wondered how seriously they took this dispensing doctrine thing.

do they all get together and actually pray or just have meetings?

ex- bethelites say they wrote doctrinal articles for the watchtower or awake.

Thank you guys for sharing the Bethel scoop! Trojan, I feel for you man! Today in the meeting I thought I was gonna toss my cookies, with all the talk about "Babylon the great's Demise" bla bla bla, "acting decisive now" bla,bla, bla! I don't know how you can sit through all of that nonsense, but I know what you mean about it not being simple to walk away, my husband and I are finding ourselves in this predicament also, I don't know how much longer we can keep up the charade. Good luck to you on your escape. Hey I saw that movie "The Island" and yes it was just like what goes on in the Borg, I had alot of freinds at Bethel and I know how things worked there.

Nathan Knorr and Bethel Life in the seventies

by Boxed elder bugs in

when i was at bethel in the 70's the president of the watchtower society nathan knorr was really unpopular among a lot of bethelites because he supported the four year oblligation for bethelites to stay at bethel and stay single for four years.

i had heard that over nintey percent of the people who left bethel fell away from the jw religion afterwards, i was among that number, and i had heard that the majority of people who came to bethel did not keep there four year commitment but left in less than a year, i know the majority of people i started with lasted about a year at bethel, i was dumb enough to stay at bethel three and one half years.

i guess it was because i was raised in the witnesses and didn't know what to do after i lost my faith in that religion while i was there.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Boxed Elder, Welcome , it's great to have you here, I hope you can share some of those exciting bethel stories with all of us, waiting anxiously....

Disturbing paragraph in Dec 15, 2005 Watchtower

by yaddayadda in

in the 2nd study article, page 29, paragraph 17.

"a similar shocking end will come to the symbolic harlot who has the name "babylon the grat.

" the harlot represents the false religions of satan's world, which have their origin in the ancient city of babylon.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Sister Blondie, thank you for that! and yes I agree the society trains it's members to ignore secular history. Hey this meeting here on JWD has been so informative thank you all! I like our meetings on here so much more, no dress code, no BS!

by blondie in

whom do you obey - god or men?.

2006 year's text--obey god as ruler rather than men.

(a) when ordered to stop preaching, how did peter and john respond?

ICBehindtheCurtain

AlmostAtheist , I've got a few more hours to go before this clears up, I think that by 4 or 5 I will be OK !
