  The problem is I was already baptized by the time I eighteen. However....

  1 instead of moving to Kansas and pioneering, I would have driven pass Kansas and on to Woodstock New York.

  2, At Woodstock I would have listened to some great music and dropped some acid. After opening up my conscience, I would have realized the whole Jehovah's Witnesses thing was bull shit.

  3 However because of this course of action I would have lost my 4-D military deferment....and because of that I would have been drafted and sent to Viet Nam were sadly I would have been killed.

  The point of all this is what?

  It's pointless to play the "what if game" because everything you have gone through in your life adds up to the some total of who you are and what you believe in! Take any of those experiences away and you are no longer you. Your are someone completely different.....a better person a worst person who knows. The road you choose is different, so dream all you want....but truly that is all it really is....isn't it.... a dream.

  PS If you are going to dream....dream big make yourself a Hollywood movie star with lots a money....enjoy!

  Booster shots required for Bethelites and special full time servants?

  it’s a shame the gov body did a big u turn on vaccines .

  if they continue with the rule that only fully vaxed can go back to the hall then i could have stayed on zoom.

  but the term fully vaxed is a moving target, if it’s been like six months since your last shot you are just the same as those of us who are unvaxed .

  If you check the death rates, you will find they are way up....and most of the deaths are not Covid related. However the higher death rates are among the vast majority of of people who have been vaccinated. I was told this by my cousin who is charge of all the nurses at three major hospitals in New York City area.

  So for those of you that have got vaccinated good luck....It's a good thing the folks at Wallkill NY have a resurrection hope because it looks like they are going to need it!

  This whole "bunker" thing was bullshit from the beginning and I told him so. When you think of a crazed maniac stuck in a "bunker" where does your mind take you? That's right the end of world war two with you know who....

  Were the bethelites disappointed when they moved out of Brooklyn?

  anyone know of anyone who was serving at the time of the move?

  i know a few former jw's who were at brooklyn who have told me that the actual bethel experience was kind of a drag but it was kinda cool to experience living in nyc for a couple of years.

  i visited a relative who was serving, years ago and went into the apartment he shared.

  Yes the view was great.....especially in the lobby of 124 it was magical. However there was little time to enjoy it when you are working in a slave labor camp making only .73 cents a day.

  I Spent Monday walking down memory lane. I went to the old Brooklyn Bethel. The old Towers Hotel, were I roomed for 3 years is now a care facility for old folks. The cost per month is $6,000 to $25,000 pp. I couldn't get into the 129 119 or 107 buildings they are condos and apartments now. They were gutting the old 124 building and will soon be condos going for millions of dollars each. The old cornerstone that Russel put in place to mark the spot of the headquarters got jack hammered out and a new piece of granite was put in its place.....with no writing on it, So if you didn't know it no one would have a clue these buildings were once owned by the Watchtower Bible and Truck society. All things change and pass....My old pizza place is still there. If you you were lucky and had any thing left from your 22 dollars a month they gave you...you could buy a slice for .75 cents. They were closed on Mondays. So no pizza for me. I also went to the old factory at 117 Adams St. It's all office buildings owned by Esty. Security guards said no visitors. Of course I couldn't get in there either. I had an Asian rice bowl in what used to be building 1 by the old garage. Then I walked over to Building four (55 prospect St.) to the spot where James Olson hit the ground after jumping to his death. Guess what? There was no plaque to mark the spot. James and the Jehovah's Witnesses do have one thing in common they are dead or soon will be....as will be the thousands of young men who served there. No "last days or Paradise" for them.
