Will Gilead Go Away?

by freemindfade in

just a total speculative thought i had.

with branches getting cut, special pioneers getting sacked, and bethel members going byebye, is there a need for gilead still?

(co's are probably on the block too lests be honest).. if they got rid of that i feel that would be huge.

Yeh man I'm addicted to that pete moss flavor. When I used to drink heavily bourbons and vodka were my go-to because I just wanted the burn and the brain turn. Shit I'm turning into a geriatric.

If that was me I'd have a sign on the sale shelf "Plz leave donation if you take one" and be in the bushes with her.

Bourbon and cigar. We're almost at the same place. I'm drinking Laphroaig and puffing on a nicotine free cheescake/banana E-cigarette mod (my churchill Cohibas are all upstate). CHEERS!

Remember when you could wear casual clothes to the congregation book study?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i would get home from work,eat dinner,shower and put on jeans,a shirt and gym shoes to the book study.

then,one day a letter was read where men would need to wear a suit and tie and the woman would have to wear dresses.

it was stated in a letter that the change was due to, '' giving a better witness to anyone who would watch us walking into our local congregation or a neighbor's house.''.

Yeeeeeaaahhhh .... we never had those 15 min breaks either. Something tells me South African JWs may have been the überist Dubs of all back then.

Interesting.... we weren't allowed to! What was the time frame? Last book study I attended was in 1983 I think.

All It Takes Is ONE!

ive been reading all these posts about bethelites and special pioneers being kicked out in the street and being forced to get a job to provide for themselves..

and im trying to put myself in their situation and feel the emotions that must be going through their mind.

what if my wife and i both dropped out of school to pioneer and got married at 18. and what if we were very faithful in listening to everything the organization says.

I have zero sympathy for them. While my brother was serving his three year sentence for being a religious objector, he and his South African Bethel pals all thought it prudent to share their thoughts on my sister's promiscuity (she was raped) with their friends and family back home. When my mom took me to visit my brother while he was helping the building at the new Roodekrans Bethel, my brother, his friends and my mom couldn't wait to all huddle together and share how disappointed they all were with my sister. All his Bethelite friends were more than eager to smear her name at all the assemblies, too.

I bet you the vast majority of these "poor Bethelites" completely support the cruel practice of shunning. If shunning is ok by them, then them being thrust into the real world where they can be ridiculed and scrounge for a living is ok by me. Just like they believe DFd people get what they deserve for not being faitful to the GB, they got what they deserved for BEING faithful to the GB. Screw their self righteous asses. If they happen to have kids, then those are the only ones that get my sympathy.
