  new rule: stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com!

  there's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years.

  besides, i already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.

  To bad George Carlin didn't serve at Bethel under Nathan Knorr and Fred Franz, he would have had twenty years worth of material.

  My Bethel elder use to sit at the head of the table and pick at people. He didn't like it that I had a mustache, he didn't like it that we would have our own conversations at the end of the table, no freedom of thought in that joint, he was all smiles when I left Bethel, so was I.

  Franz and a "New" Witness Organization?

  by Nellie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  this strikes me as typical "apostate phobia propaganda" - but a "witness" just told me that ray franz started a "new order of jehovah's witnesses" after he was disfellowshipped.. is there any truth to this?

  I was at Bethel when Ray was still there in the seventies. He was truly a nice guy and definitely more approachable than Knorr or Fred Franz or anyone else I meet on the GB with the possible exception of Dan Sidlick who was also very approachable GB'er who pitched for us when we played baseball during our luch hour. I heard Knorr tried to keep Dan out of the GB for a long time. If Ray ever did start a religion I might join I think his would be interesting and fun.

  Why the GB are never self critical?

  by greendawn in

  1. social
  2. humour

  those pussyfooting with the devious nature of the gb of the jws should notice some strange things in their behaviour.

  they are not known to (1)have ever carried out an act of self evaluation and self criticism and accept that they were wrong in some of their actions, or (2) to accept any criticisms from jw members let alone reply to them with rational arguments.

  that is a most unchristian attitude.

  For them there is no such thing as mistakes. There is only 'brighter light.' They do your thinking for you, and their opinions are your opinions. (If your care to test this theory try going to a Kingdom Hall and giving your own opinion on who Babylon the Great is...and then check your stop watch to see how fast the elders come after you.) Reminds me of the old sci fi t.v. show the outer limits- "Don't touch that dial, we control your television screen..."

  The society still must be raking in alot of dough, it stikes me as odd they coudn't afford to keep the Bethel family members on with the paltry amount of money they give them, I got fourteen dollars a month when I was at Bethel in 74. Where is all that money going?

  I will never forget his role as Chester the deputy on 'Gunsmoke' he walked with a limp.
  
  How come these actors don't live longer, Don Knotts(Barney Fif) just died too, you would think with all their money they would live into their nineties.
