  Many of us twenty-something Bethel brothers had a difficult time emotionally -- away from a more normal style life back home (albeit in the JW mode). We young pioneers were many and had fun and good companionship.

  We were regimented severely at Bethel and some -- like me -- broke. Others ran away or attempted suicide (at Bethel). If it had been possible to do the Bethel work alone, without the pressure of late, long hours traveling to and from meetings and service, it would have been tolerable.

  I liked my job.

  I hate to say this but if the brothers taking the lead would apply Galations 6:4 and not expect the same from everyone there would be a lot less mental illness within Jehovahs witnesses. There is just a lot of pressure to do more which pushes some people right over the edge. 19 minutes ago on FB, by Wade

  Thanks, Oubliette!

  Really close. What is required is verbs of the same form, in this case either gerunds ["ing"] or infinitives ["to" plus verb].

  "to eat, to drink and to be merry," or "eating, drinking and being merry."

  Best.

  Something called parallel construction (structure); please correct:

  There are three things I really love: to eat, drinking, be merry!

  To clarify the difference between "I" and "me" (he, she, they; him, her, them):

  "I" is used as the subject of a sentence, but "me" the object.

  I gave it to her (not "she").

  He hit me (not "I").

  Between you and me, I prefer white wine. (Some say "between you and I" is so widely used that it has become acceptable.)

  Jerry tossed the ball to Mary (or "her").

  et cetera . . .
