A witness just informed me about a couple that we know who had their assembly recently, and it was announced at the private elder's meeting that there will be a special meeting with all the elders in the US in Patterson. It was mentioned that we are now living "In the End of End of Times" and that the UN is talking about prohibiting religions. Has anyone heard of this???

Your dedication to this debate is admirable and impressive. I booked marked it and will send to family members. Even a fanatic witness cannot honestly say they have no doubts about their strict policy on blood after reading this research. You get an AAAA+++++++.

Where to start,
At my old hall, there was a very gossipy sister with a tongue that lashed venom merciless at whomever she was gossiping about. One day, she decided to gossip about a sister who had a chemical imbalance in her brain, and due this problem, she relies on medications daily...well, the bad talk got to her ears and she decides to confront the Gossipy sister inside her own bldg at the lobby one day. When Gossipy (reg pioneer), walks into her bldg from preaching, she gets a beat down by the ill sister all the way to her apt. The next day Gossipy is showing off her black & blues to the whole congo. According to her, the elders advised her to say what really happened to everyone that asked, so people would not get the bad impression that it was her husband who beat her. Her husband is also a JW and has a chemical imbalance in his brain as well and takes medication..........After a few weeks, there is an announcement that the ill sister has been removed from being a regular pioneer....Very sad day....I disliked Gossipy so much!
At the Spanish conventions that I went to, a lot of the young girls will dress very hoochy and parade their goodies to the brothers. My family and I liked to sit all the way at the top and we saw everything, we actually had binoculars to see all the action. One of the hoochs was seating nearby and she kept getting up and going to the bathroom back and forth, back and forth, in one of those trips she fell down the steep stairs, ripped her tight dress and flashed her undies and a little of her goodies to the brothers.....The best, it was priceless! We never saw her in our section or parading for the rest of the convention..hehe.
One of the brothers passing the microphone had to go and use the bathroom during the reading of a WT paragraph and forgot to turn off the sound. You can imagine the beautiful, serene water fall and the sounds of the pebbles falling into the water we heard that day, topped with a sigh of relief....Oh it sounded like sweet paradise!
There was a very sick, disturbed...actually, full-blown crazy smelly brother that hopped congregations. We had the privilage of our congo being one of them. Instead of taking out the Bible like everyone else, he used he will use his newspaper as a bible. At times, he would come in a wheel chair, and there was always some new bethelite or brother that did not know about him, that will break their backs trying to lift him up the stairs only to find when they reached the top that the brother was not invalid and could walk perfectly fine....Oh gosh the memories...I'm not exagerating one bit...I'm actually leaving out alot of details, its too much to mention, maybe some other time.
Really enjoyed this thread, one of the best I've read so far. -

Life After Bethel Part 2
by new boy inas i mention before i was going to move to califorina when i left bethel, to get way from debbie's parents.
so i thought the best thing to do was to go to the service department and ask them were they "needed help" in the bay area of northern califorina.........this shows you how totally delusional i really was at the time.........i thought i could still "help" others, by moving to area that needed help.......yea right!........
just what a conergation needed another "burned out" exbethelite.

My Bethel Experience Part 18
by new boy inthis is the fun one......... health, dismemberment, death (natural and unnatural) murder and suicide.. well its sunday afternoon, portland oregon, february 18, 2007.........its been 34 years,.......i 'm just drunk enough, excuse me,.....i mean "self medicated"enough (p.s.
juni sweet heart.... i love you), to start writing this chapter.........the people at bethel were killing us spiritually!.......and sometimes they killed us physically too.....i'm not letting myself of the hook...i was there and i was as bad them..............no, i'm sorry i was worst then them......and why?.....because i knew better....those bastards didn't know any better .......we need to send them some love........the thing they can't give us ................we need to give them......... love............. "thats all you need" .
first off....... when you go to bethel, you sign a document stating that if you die while you are at bethel, the society has "the right" to keep your body.........most people, just sign it and forget about it, but don't you think that is just a little strange?..........i did.
