  just remember a few crazy gb rants- the topic on no smooching during the prayer got me to remembering a few:.

  losch- morning worship- roommates should pray together (inferred kneeling on the floor together).

  losch- morning worship- women have a natural craving for men that has to be managed and controlled by men.

  There were annual morning worship spots about safe driving and water conservation where someone got to bore the daylights out of the Bethel Family about slowing down in the parking lots and not using the toilet to throw away tissues.

  Carey Barber loved to crack on any member of the clergy. He also had a bit of whistle in his voice (when he pronounce C or S- kind of like a cartoon character). So when he was ranting on about the Greek Orthodox clergy he loved to call them the "Black bearded sons of satan" (SSSSons of SSSSatan) He also talked about wanting to come up and pull their beards.

  You could always count on Losch, though, to say something absolutely outrageous. I heard about a later MW where he talked about masculine women and how that was such a worldly trend. Specifically, women with short hair cuts who take long strides when they walk!!!

  This is great- I'm LMAO remembering this stuff.

  Remember when one bethelite had rented an R rated video at the local rental store in Brooklyn. The store keeper told Sydlick that one of "his boys" had been in and rented an R rated movie and would he like to know who it was. Sydlick said- Don't worry, I'll find out. He said at morning worship "If its you, you ought to come forward, because otherwise we'll find out who you are..." (in his booming voice) (I imagine there were quite a few crapped pants that morning!!)

  Barr (?)- Lunch- Saw women going to the workout room in leotards and issued an order that all exercise rooms must be closed during lunch time- later rescinded and strict rules instituted about what you can wear, where.

  Sydlick, Jaracz, etc- Black Monday- Monday "special lecture" after the Watchtower about the evils of rock music and rap music. Listed several performing artists by name and urged Bethelites to come forward and destroy their music. The success of this effort and the quantity of music destroyed were touted for months after as a "cleansing of the Bethel Family"

  Couch (not GB- but extremely entertaining)- Forget it- you could have a separate topic just about his rants- no touching your face at Morning Worship, don't go to Times Square, no wearing shorts, no wearing jeans, etc, etc, etc.

  November 15 Watchtower (Study Edition) - discourages showing affection to your spouse

  by CrazyBlonde in

  another gem from the same edition - article to be studied december 28 - january 3 (which most will miss lol coz of summer vacation) entitled "what do your prayers say about you?

  " page 6 para 19 reads:.

  19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

  I can just about imagine how this rule came to be. Some GB looked up during the prayer at Monday night WT study and saw a 20 young something bride with her arms around the waist of her 40 year old Bethel groom. Since both have been so repressed and are now under the public spotlight at Bethel- the prayer is a rare moment of privacy. Grumpy GB member makes sure there is a morning worship regarding this and a young, eager writing dept staffer picks it up for his article. Viola- NEW LIGHT!!! No smooching during the prayer!!

  XJW- We probably crossed paths. I remember that trek too. There was always someone who tried the oversized, free steak (and then everybody whispered about them being a glutton the next day!!)
