  some long years ago a circuit overseer told me that the area he was from had several former cos that had "left the road" as they call it and were just sitting on their laurels.

  he said that they don't pioneer and some were irregular publishers.

  a different co made a remark to the effect of "you think that servants or pioneers live a restricted life, cos are under the supervision of the service dept.

  when people say "armageddon may come, but not in my lifetime", that is a "satanic inspired error".. how do you overcome it?.

  why, looking a it that way, adam's rebellion was less than a week ago!

  jesus was here on earth just the day before yesterday!

  Anyone else an Ex Bethel "volunteer"

  by BackseatDevil in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was wondering if there were any other ex-bethelites on here.

  i personally regularly went for temporary work at brooklyn then was assigned to the farm for a year and a half.

  it was... one of the most bizaare experiences of my life.. so i wrote it all down (finally, after some 15 years) so i won't bore anyone on here with the details of the story - because bethel doesn't show up until chapter 15... and for you straight folks, it gets a bit gay in two places... but nothing gross.
