have any of you had the experience of eating with the bethel family?.
what were some of the idiosyncrasies of it?.
as i mentioned before in another thread, it was brought up to me by another jw guest after the meal that it was "as if this was like a cult" when everyone would drop their utensils on que, stand up in unison and end the meal with a prayer.
I've eaten delicious meals at Mill Hill(Uk) and have delighted in the delicacies at Pioneer schools and MT schools too!!!
Yes...prayer before and after each meal....witnessed lots of funny moments at these meals and a few fights between hubby and wifey!!
FUN!!!!!

during the time leading up to my baptism and even more so afterwards, my study conductor and her friend were always telling me how i shouldn't be watching the soaps.
(i had mentioned to them at some point how i enjoy watching emmerdale and coronation street).
they described them as being unwholesome and encouraging of immoral ways.
"Soaps are evil" mentality was heard in all my congs.....this is something i didnt agree with....i loved watching my eastenders and the bill..Elders and their wives......STOP trying to control every aspect of our lives!!!!!!

i had recently read the book, "the da vinci code", and just saw the movie this weekend.
essentially, the plot revolves around a 2000 year old "cover-up", in which it is claimed that jesus was married to mary magdelene and had children.
this knowledge was suppressed by the early church, but kept alive by a secret society of which leonardo da vinci was a member.
Steve,
what's the eco book about?
well, another jw is now an ex-jw.
not going back.
