  for me brooklyn bethel was a house of pain.

  when i arrived they were remodeling the towers hotel which they had just purchased and they put me in a room with four other guys.

  then they put me on the night shift in the bindery.

  i bumped into a jw at the store the other day.

  he doesn't know i'm df'd (apparently) and i didn't decide to enlighten him.

  he banged on for a bit about people we both knew, how service was that morning, etc.

  Kingdom Melodies Mental Block

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, there's what... 225 kingdom melodies (in the 1984 songbook).

  when we were in, we sang these 225 songs, some of them many many times over.

  yet, i can't remember the words to a complete kingdom melody.. however, i've listened to blue oyster cult's "agents of fortune" album many times, and i can remember pretty much all the lyrics.. perhaps kingdom melodies are the ultimate collection of lullabys.. you make known, that the truth izzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  I think I've finally had it! (long)

  by lynnmelo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some of you may know that i had regularly been studying with the jw's for about two years, but i was never baptized.

  i stumbled on some information about the child molestation scandal a few months ago, and that started me on the road to questioning the organization (for further details on my situation, see my topic history).. anyway, up until now, i had decided to just fade into the background, still attending sunday kh meetings because i want to attend some church, and i just don't know where else to go (don't agree w/ the teachings of the other churches in my vicinity either).

  my last "study" w/ my bible study conductor (a month or so ago) was terrible.

  Nathan Knorr and Bethel Life in the seventies

  by Boxed elder bugs in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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.
