My Bethel Experience Part 13 "Love and Sex" at Bethel

by new boy in

most of us went back to bethel, thinking we wanted to make it our life long career, what better place to be right before 1975, when god was coming back to kick some ass?

that dream ended for the vast majority after just few months there, when they found out that something was very wrong.

otherwise why would anyone want to leave a spiritual paradise?

Its always great to hear stories of life INSIDE bethel. Thanks for sharing!!

The new service meeting

by John Aquila in

i wanted to relate an experience that happened this morning.

it is regarding the new format for the meeting on thursdays in my area.

its not word for word but im summarizing what i heard, the best i can remember.

SouthCentral

This is great news. The best way to collapse and sustain the collapse is to destroy it from within. The writers are to blame!!

we found some people who were happy to welcome us into their homes, even offering us food and drink.. sometimes, they would flag us down and ask for the magazines, walk miles to the kh meetings, come to our defense if someone got ugly or rude.. now, jw's are either routinely ignored or outright vilified.. no one respects them anymore.. sad.. .

I remember growing up, there was so many activities going on with witnesses. I think the one that I enjoyed the most was skating every Sunday night. In Los Angeles it seems that most skating rings have closed down. My children don't have nearly as many recreational activities as I did.

My Bethel Experience Part 4

by new boy in

black thursday september 1972. .

knorr gathered all the bethel "heavies" and gb to the kh in the 119 building.

the three freds (circuit overseers) and about 50 brothers.....thats right only 50. the other guys chickened out, they knew it was going to be a blood bath.

Thank you for reposting these great experiences! Hearing stories about what actually happened in Brooklyn is wonderful to me! I enjoyed them eight years ago and even more so today.

Is the Pioneer School being eliminated?

i heard from the semi reliable source that the pioneer schools will go the way of the dodo bird next year.. i could see this happening.

it used to be that you went to the the pioneer school once.

then they allowed dubs to go every 5 years.

SouthCentral

I remember Pioneer school all too well! I really hated having different congregations bring in food every day! Some sisters would tell me; "Don't eat this ......it is from a nasty sister! LOL

It's incredible that most witnesses don't see all of these moves as downsizing!

JT & Lady Cee Why we left the Jehovah's Witnesses - Part 1

by JT-LadyC in

many years ago, my husband and i appeared on the board that was known as h20 aka simon's site.

it has been a while since we have posted anything, so i guess i can say that this is like coming out of retirement.

lol.

SouthCentral

I can't wait to watch your videos when I get home (wifi). These type of experiences are always the best! Please continue to share your experiences… It's great to know that others have felt the same way (that I did) when garbage was spewed by the organization!

Overlapping generation segment on the new Circuit Assembly program

by traveb in

jw
friends

so there i was at the circuit assembly sunday morning with my eyes glazed over as usual when all of a sudden, bam!

a demo with two brothers talking about the new overlapping generation teaching.

the reason it took me by surprise was because it occured during the second talk of the sunday morning symposium, "sanctify god's name by your speech".

SouthCentral

The entire foundation of the religion is based on 1914 / generation teaching. With this being built on sand, they realize that MOST can't explain the double-speak. Although this may be just for clarification, or it may be a precursor to another change.

however, love for god and for his.

our love for god and his dear son = is of no value unless we are part of the human/earthly organization, the wts.

how many scriptures are actually read and applied at a meeting?

SouthCentral

Excellent post/ commentary/ thread, as always!!!
