part 1. i when to bethel march 21,1970. at the time you had to be a pioneer for two years to apply, by the time i left in 1974 they were calling people in who had never pioneered..........average stay was 5 months (they had signed up for 4 years)..........the reason they left was......well, it was hell.. one of the reasons was, knorr hated bethelites, but he loved the gilead students and why?
because when they screwed up they were thousands of miles away!........just before i got there, they had kicked out over 30!
homosexuals (at one time) ....the would kick out 1-2 bethelites a week.
Great NEW BOY!! 😀
Yes Bethel killed my faith as well. I loved to go out to different congregations though, telling missionary experiences. After a while we started to make them up! 200-300 box a night thanks to the impressed publishers. I bought my car from that money when we came back in Europe leaving that s#it behind.

warning lots of compartmentalization going on, with huge leaps in logic and a whole lot of just beleive me because i say so.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhyfm-zikbq.
my study conductor lectured me about my attitude this morning!!!!
apparently some sister complained to her that my attitude was irritating.
the sister in question is just bothered by the fact that i ignore her along with her four daughters.
What a post. Do you think someone will watch a 70 years old movie for an hour to find out it has nothing to do with jw?
this has probably been touched on before but i thought i would mention it again.
the problem i have with all the redundant bethelites.
they were virtually getting free labour.
What luxury are you reffering to sp.down?
1. in january the first uk bethelites will be hitting the streets.
are any coming to a circuit near you and what effect do you think they will have on the local congregation they are sent to?.
2. if you know of bethel closures/reductions already - such as spain, italy, nz etc.
Mostly no effect at all. Bethelites are just workers, most of them not spiritual but Some of them want to look like being from the " in-crowd".They have No experience in field-service, as it is hard to get ten hours a month as a bethelite, and most don't like the responsebility having bible-studies. They hardly have time to underline their own Watchtower. So it is like having another publisher in your hall.
someone at bethel dinning room was hogging all the bread rolls!!!
would a brother on the writting dep.
dare vent his frustration thru the spiritual food our watchtower???

congregations get an annual letter that tells what can be ordered for literature (it's mainly a list of audio cds/dvds for the deaf), but this time it included publications that will be discontinued, and this included the isaiah's prophecy book and the reasoning book, and i think i saw the draw close to jehovah book.
i meant to take a picture of the letter but forgot.
the branch is only going to give what they have on stock, when that stock depletes that's it, you won't be able to order those publications anymore.. this is in canada so i don't know if this is worldwide..
