  a job offer has come our way that looks excellent.

  however, it is located in pascagoula, ms. i am wondering how the area is faring since katrina.

  does anybody know this area, and if so, what is your view of it.

  My exbrother inlaw lives in Mississippi he said "The good thing about Mississippi is you don't ever have to worry about a recession...because it like that all the time here"...(poorest standard of living in the united states)

  I lived in Northern Louisana for two years (bible belt)....I liked what George Carlan said about "the deep south"..."I love going to the south it like going back in time 200 years"

  Of course if your rich you can live anywhere and it will be fine, even Mississippi.

  I'm sorry my friend, I'm sure this was not what you were looking for....but come on...Mississippi?

  Well most us worked hard there. We took pride in our work...A few didn't they were called a "Jack" or a "Fake Out"...they got so much shit from the rest of us, they pick up the pace or got a job change, The overseers would move you to a job were you couldn't fake out on, say a bindry line or a sewing machine. It was like the rowers in the movie "Ben Hur" you were chained to machine.

  Has for Doctors When I got there we had the good Doc Dixon. In fact I set on his table. If you read the rest of my Bethel series I talk about him.

  Well nobody really said it....they said "dating"....nothing illegal about that.

  So I guess I'll say it.......I slept with someone of the opposite sex (it was O.K. though) because all we did was sleep in the same bed together...nothing happen that night.

  people would ask me "how long do you plan on staying at bethel" i would say "forever!.....or 4 years which ever comes first" .

  besides the about 48 hours you worked there a week, you would have other duties too.

  there was dish duties.

  i 'm sorry all of this is not in order.............i'm writing as all this comes back to me.. my first room assignment was room 33 in the 129 building....it was and old building, built around the turn of the century,...the society owned it but it had worldly people in to.......i'm not sure why but maybe there was a law that provented them from being kicked out or something.

  it was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment (about 1000 sq.

  ft.) there were 7 of us in there, all new boys ( less then one year there).

  Why do you sign your dead body over when you go to Bethel?

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is in response to the thread about the supposed suicide of a bethelite in 1995.. in 1970 when i went to bethel we signed a form stating that "if we died while at bethel the wathtower bible and tract society had the rights to our body.

  yes, we thought it strange at the time but as a twenty year old you didn't think much about it.. i know of two brothers who killed themselfs while at bethel and two others who tried end their lives.

  my guess is people have been killing themselfs at bethel long before i ever got there.

  O.K....

  No, I don't think the society sells dead exbethelites bodys parts.

  My question is WHY is there that form?

  I don't think it is as "Scully" says "in case there is no one to colect the body!

  They were our employer. How many employers ask you to sign a form giving them your bodies if you die on the job. They didn't care about us when were alive at Bethel, WHY would the care about our bodies after death?

  My thoughts are something happen long ago, before I even got there, for the Society legal department to say we need this form....

  What happen....who knows.
