Tight pants, colored socks, blue shirts, beards, wire -rimmed glasses...
by Muddy Waters intight pants, colored socks, blue shirts, beards, wire -rimmed glasses... .
does anybody remember any thing else that was once or still is proscribed against faithful j-dubs?
when brothers in our kh started wearing different colored shirts rather than white, it caused a great stir and ruckus.

Brooklyn Bethel Tours Through The Roof
by freemindfade inwas speaking with someone last night who just recently toured the us bethel's.
the brooklyn tour i heard was awful, very limited and disappointing and conducted by a local pioneer and not even a bethelite.
well from what they are telling the folks on the tour since the tm3 bit encouraging (guilting) people about going to disneyland on vacation when you haven't visited bethel, monthly tours went from 6000 to 16000!

That's great Warwick. Finally they give those Regular Pioneers a break from knocking on those doors that get no answers. I'm sure the pioneers are happy about that. -

At least I can wear my shorts at Disney Land. I recently did do a Bethel tour and I would recommend it. It's not going to blow your mind, and no, the contribution boxes are not overly displayed. The talk is about the budget and the Lay-offs and I found the Tour guides free to express themselves. about the uncertainty. The Guides we had were Bethelites and they were awesome.

The Man With a Secretary's Inkhorn - who he, and does he wear flip-flops?
by rory-ks inat the agm this year geoffrey jackson identified the "man with a secretary's inkhorn," of ezekiel chapter 9 as being jesus christ.
this was declared an "adjustment" from the previous understanding that the organisation used to believe that this "man" was "the annointed.".
has the society always taught that the "man with the secretary's inkhorn" was someone other than jesus - or is this a situation where back in the mists of time the bible students understood him to be jesus, and then rutherford (or someone) identified him as "the annointed," and now they have reverted back to their initial belief?.

The secretary, or the man in Linen doesn't scare me. It's those smashers guys. This sounds like a good video game -

A paradox or a contradiction? Titus 1:12
by James Mixon inpaul quoted a cretan who said, "cretans are always liars".. ok, if this was said by a cretan and cretans always lie, then he.
too was lying, but if this cretan was lying when he said cretans always lie,.
then cretans do not always lie and there is a lie in the scripture.

by 4thgen inas many of you know, my ex-husband was removed as an elder for child abuse.
i was told at the time he would never be reappointed in any capacity.
yet i heard today he was appointed as an account servant.

Qualifications for assigneand responsibilities is unbalanced. You can have a person who has had child molestation charges in their past, but, you can't use a brother who has an adult Disfellowshipped relative living at their home for financial reasons. -

It's kind of a Reverse Mortgage, but with a twist. Instead of you getting the monthly tax free income, you are paying that to the Soc.
I'm intrigued that all in the GB arn't protesting this arrangement

Special Pioneer Sister-in-Law and Husband just got their letter.
by cappytan inwell, my sister-in-law and her husband, special pioneers for only a couple of years, just got their letter.. her comment was along the lines of, "they're having to do this because they forgave all those kingdom hall loans a few years ago and the brothers aren't donating anymore.".
when my wife told me, i laughed so hard i farted.

People who live as a SP, Bethellite , and Branch office staff are living in a Fools Paradise. They are receiving some reward in full for the investment of their time, sanity, service, and perceived reward. Sooner or later they hit that Brick wall and come to reality. It's a big change for many. Many can become bitter, Sad, dissappointed, and scared.
