  Randy's story linked elsewhere on this post bring back a lot of memories to me. I was never in Bethel, but had a family member who was there about that time. He probably knew Randy, though I don't remember him ever mentioning his name. Curious that Randy mentions 34 Orange. I actually stayed all night one night there. It was a no-no to allow non-Bethelites to stay in the rooms, but 34 Orange was well out of the way and nobody noticed. I think I slept on the floor, but it was only one night and I don't recall exactly.

  34 Orange was a separate house with an apartment on each of its floors (I think 4 floors, maybe 5). The Society had a few of the floors, but not all. The worldly residents would complain when the Bethel boys made a lot of noise, or grilled food on an outside balcony.

  Wonderful work! Thanks so much.

  I am a little uncertain about what I am looking at when selecting 2 word phrases. I entered child,molester (no spaces) and it shows for 1997, 444 instances of child and 8 instances of molester. Does that mean the complete phrase occurs 8 times?

  

  ps: check spelling: separate

  Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

  by RolRod in

  sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

  they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

  although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

  Aww, what a shame. I was hoping to see the pyramid back again. I think the pyramid had some names like this on it, so I presume these are the same names.

  I have to say that this is a very unimaginative use of space to simply lay out the names like that.

  Sixteen years later and wow is life different

  i have no idea if this is the right place to post this.

  if you're just leaving the witnesses or questioning and toying with the idea of leaving..... life goes by fast.

  and either you rip the band aid off and deal with it or let it fester and eat you alive.

  In this area (midwest US) about 10 years ago they put up a special contribution box for a planned assembly hall. Later the project was scrapped. But the monies which were put into the special box were never (to my knowledge) accounted for. Presumably it just ended up in the WT coffers.

  Thanks, I must have missed this way back ten years ago. I’ve read a few of PSL Johnson’s books. He was definitely ‘out there’ with all kinds of strange ideas. I remember him applying some scriptures in types and anti- types to him and Rutherford, with Rutherford always the bad guy of course.

  John 1:1 has gotten exactly zero citations since 2018. Says a lot about the recent literature.

  edited, I take that back. There was one reference in 2019.
