How many here actually had a door key at Brooklyn Bethel?
by BonaFide inwhen i was a missionary, and sometimes bethelite, i was given a key that worked to get in almost all buildings.
it's called the "bethel key" and if i remember correctly you have to sign for it, and you have to agree you will not make a copy.
anyway, i felt like i had the keys to the kingdom when i had that key.

I still have some of the invitations given to the bethel family for gilead graduation.
If I combine that with a couple dollars, I can get a cup of coffee at Starbucks! GYMBB

I could have posted that same thing!
I lived in Long Beach back in the 70's and we went to Dodger Stadium almost every summer. In fact, I was dunked in a pool in the Dodger bullpen! Gymbob

A few questions for all you experts from my long JW meeting yesterday
by AuntBee inhere are a few things that were said that seemed kind of dubious to me.
(i had a meeting with 2 women that came to the door - full story in the thread "i received the knock...").
they baptize in the name of the father, son and holy spirit.

If those ladies come back for another visit, you might want to ask them these questions: Are your current beliefs solidly based on scripture? Do you personally believe everything that is taught in the Watchtower? If the Watchtower changed a teaching would you change your belief along with them?
These questions were asked to me by a man when I came knocking on his door one Saturday morning, and it really shook me because I knew if (or when) the WT changed a teaching, I knew I HAD to change too. And THAT told me that I really didn't have the freedom that I thought I had. Gymbob

A couple years ago I was dating a lady who was a big Aerosmith fan (had the Areo tats and EVERYTHING). We went to see them in concert with KISS...right up front.
All I can say is...what a great night that was! Gymbob

Are there any religions that worship God but do not believe in an Afterlife
by jwfacts init seems that people only worship god for the reward of a resurrection.
people normally do not admit that, and say that even if there was no resurrection they would worship god for the life that he has given them.
a good indication of whether this could be true is if religions existed that worshipped god but do not believe in a soul or resurrection or everlasting life.

I also don't believe there is a life after this one. Of coarse, if there is a life after this one there isn't one damn thing we can do about it, and I"ve seen too many people wasting way too much of this life trying to make it comfortably into another life that could be out ther after this one.
