  i was reading a book on childrens names when i came across the name bethel.

  Back when I wss still exiting the WT, I wrote an article on Bethel for my website. You can find it at http://www.docbob.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=36 - And here are a couple of scriptures that I think are appropriate: (Amos 4:4) "'Come, YOU people, to Beth'el and commit transgression. At Gil'gal be frequent in committing transgression, and bring YOUR sacrifices in the morning; on the third day, YOUR tenth parts. (Amos 5:5-6) And do not search for Beth'el, and to Gil'gal YOU must not come, and to Be'er-she'ba YOU must not pass over; because Gil'gal itself will without fail go into exile; and as regards Beth'el, it will become something uncanny. 6 Search for Jehovah, and keep living, that he may not become operative just like fire, O house of Joseph, and it may not actually devour, and Beth'el may not be with no one to extinguish [it],

  d.boon - "why don't we do it the last weekend of November the 29th or 30th. How close to Boston do you want to do this? Cambridge, Everett, There's a cool looking Chinese place out on rt1 in Saugus called Kalhoons. or is that to far north?" -- I'm driving down from North Conway to Kittery on the 29th. How about the 30th. BTW, there was a fire at Kowloon's just the other day. Not too much damage though.

  after my last post where i asked for advice on how to handle whether i should tell an elder that we've been going to church, i decided to tell a local elder who's related to me through marriage.

  this was to save my dad having to 'report' me (i'd told my dad we go to church).

  anyway, i had an interesting chat with him and he said some very personally revealing things re.

  Hi Mark, I sent a testimony letter to 70 of my old JW friends. That got me a call from the elders asking if I were disassociating myself. When I said no then told me that since I "had gone over the the Baptists" that was sufficient to announce me as having disassociating myself. I told them "it's not about the Baptists, it's about Christ." At that point they invited me to meet with them to face charges of apostasy. I told them I would think about it and a couple days later I sent them a 5 page legal letter. I haven't heard from them since. ... Both letters are on my website at www.docbob.org ... please pardon the ellipeses ... I'm on a Mac ... Blessings ... Bob
