BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

by Black Man in

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.

Does somebody remember the French guy called Jean? He was a commuter in 1999 and did all the fake marble in the lobbies. Hé was a Pioneer in the arabic field also. We had some great parties in his loft in Brooklyn.

Hello!

by Caedus in

been reading here for a few years.. 4th gen jw, born and raised, served for a few years which was the catalyst for me.

the politics, backstabbing, slandering and coercive tactics in particular caused a constant internal struggle.

i started researching and focused only on the stories of ex-elders/servants to see if i was the only one - i wasn't.. the rest is history..

Welcome Caedus.

In the Netherlands we have more problems with blacks and Arabics bothering white natives. They are espacially fond (in their particular way) of our native blond girls.

The National Anthem

by BluesBrother in

recent controversies in america brought this to mind , although i don’t want this to become a political thread , rather to discuss the wts rules that stop a jw showing respect for the national anthem.. the watchtower says that doing so is an act of idolatry, giving worship to the state or its icon.

as such witnesses remain seated when the anthem is played.

in britain people simply stand quietly to show respect, there is no hand gesture.. when i was a boy, every cinema show and theatre concluded with the anthem,being played .usually it was orchestrally with no words sung.

When I was about 20 and living in the Netherlands, a jw friend and I decided to go on holiday to the Torquay region and walk in Dartmoor and Exmoor. We saw a advertisement that Tommy Cooper was giving a show in Torquay. We went and it started with the Anthem. We never saw anything like that and staid seated..

I have never felt so unwanted as at that moment.😬
