HI Folks

I hope everyone has been doing well. Lady C and myself are doing a Blogtalkradio program this Sat at 10AM eastern time. We are going to be discussing the Society's teaching on "Alternative Service" and the impact that this teaching has had on 1000's of young's mens lives. How New Light has serious reprecussions for those who get caught in the "middle" of the change.

Our Program's Focus is Critical Thinking. When it comes to the Watchtower Theology the best approach is to use and apply critical thinking skills- especially when many of thier teachings are Elevated to Divine Law with punishment for Violators.

If anyone would like to share an experience, know of someone who was impacted or merely add a thought --please feel free to do so. If not, just listen in enjoy.

hi everyone, this is only my second post under this name but i'm not actually new, just couldnt remember my password under my other name as havnt been on the board for a very long time, hey i've even had a bible study in the time i've been away.. anyway, my question is, do you think their is a pecking order within the congregation,not so much overseer, elder, common publisher etc, more as in, one particular family being popular, everyone sucking up to them, them looking down their noses at the meer mortals who perhaps cant afford to pioneer or live in a palace, etc etc..

i thought the name of this thread was so on time for this thread demostrates one of the sad things about claiming to speak for god, when one actually does not.. when i was a newly appointed elder at the tender age of 27 .

i was introduced to the world of the judical committee.. it was in fact my first case.

i had gotten a call from the po before the meeting stating that their would be an elders meetings to discuss some judical matters.

JT

ken

you have hit the nail on the head- some elders literally power trip on this stuff

keep in mind we are talking about a guy who may have a job that gives him little satisfactioin and so when he comes to the hall he is now king of the hill

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

she could say that :

Anyone know R.P. Johnson? Dyed-in-the-wool company man through and through.

yes he was my mentor, taught me everything i knew as to how to be a Society Man

I knew Lee Waters

yep he had the dark skin fine wife, he used to have a band, but it got disbanded,, he worked in both service and writing, his mom tried to marry off every bethilite she met to some sister

we got invited to her house in NJ walked in and it was wall to wall women

Ciro Aulicino- yep he was a little radical dude

I remember Al Harrell and Tom Jefferson in the 124 Home - black brothers trying to fit into the machine. Ahh, the memories

Yes the first time i met Al i thought he was a former PIMP, he had that super cool walk to the side, he was from Fort Apache up in Bronx and they called Tom THE SHADOW- he always followed Al where every he went, they started out in cleaning and both rose thru the ranks, Al is now a Corp member

yes they were the days, but my all time favorite was Gary "COOL Cash worked in the laundry, he was the cooliest bethelite i ever meet his wife was from Chicago where my old roommate was from same hall in fact

he had Freddy as his best man, now we used to laugh at Gary since he was of the Annointed and we use say he will be the cooliest angel in heaven

he like Al had one of those PIMP WALKS- SMILE
