listening to all of new boy's stories of the bethelites has reminded me of one of my own..... when i was about 17 (reg.
pio.
)our phone rang in the middle of the night.
S'up Lisa. That's incedibily funny.
I have one question about bethel that I never got the answer to:
Why do you have to abruptly get up toward the end of the meal? I remember working there temporarily and at first it freaked me out when everyone just slid their chairs back and stood up all at once. I just went along with it.
ive only been on this board for less then a month.
how sad for me to see that for many people who are disfollewshipped still think in fear and quilt.
-------people who kill themselves just cant live in the world they created, they are in hell.. many people on this web site are in hell too, they cant go into the real world, and they cant go back to the borg.. my suggestion is since your out right now.. take some time.
"....I didn't mean to attack the drug of your choice...."
Wrong again
"...If my posts offend you, don't read them..."
Now that has got to be the stupidest thing that I have ever read (no offense intended) but how can you possibly post a topic and others know that its a post that they don't agree with if they don't read it????
"....You sound every hurt,..."
I'm not guy. 3 strikes for you boy. I'd wish you'd stop trying to analyze everyone. I've been through alot in my young. But believe me I am not hurt by anything the WT has "instilled" in me.
On the contrary, I appreciate the fact that I was able to learn how through flip through the Bible with ease, give public talks and even give a little 6 minute at a district convention.
I learned more about the tower and got out...no major time lost for me, Im only 30. Got a good career and beautiful family and thats all I need.
I come here because it's nice to know others who have the same background...'tis all.
I hear you Ranchette.

"I’ve only been on this board for less then a month. "...
Yes, we can tell.
"..Many people on this web site are in hell too, they can’t go into the real world, and they can’t go back to the BORG."...
Is that your expert opinion with less than a month's worth of reading?
"....Why you were attracted to an organization that was hoping for the end of the world,....."
Hey stupid, did it ever occur to you that a good lot of us were born into this cult? Did we have a choice, know any better?
...."-AND GET PASS THIS WEBSITE!....."
Why are you still here? If your conclusions are the above stated after 1 month, then I would imagine that this will be you last post.
Always amazes me the amount of "psycotherapists" that exist out there in the ......"what the real world is, and not the world, they sold you."
New boy,....thanks for your expertise in a field you know nothing about.

as i stepped out of the shower yesterday the phone rang.
thinking it was my husband, who had just left, i answered without checking caller id.
it was my mother.
..."as I sat naked on the floor, I wondered why I didn't hang up on her.."
Thank for that detail..it's details that make a post interesting.

Trying to imagine that
i made a three way call, i had a family member on the other line.
i had told this person about the wtbs/un thing to which they stated, "bullshit.
i first called headquarters, they put me through to patterson.
Lisa, check yours.

LOL Simon!
Did you know that, that is almost exactly what the brother who accused me in a mock JC that was held against me said. He was trying not to get involved with what was going on but he was too wrapped up in it already and to show the C.O. that he was on the orgs. part until death he said:
"I will always believe this to be the truth, even if the G.B. was to tell us that they are all lying, I will still believe this to be the truth, I will die for the truth".
What a moron.

You're right Lisa you can't win. (Btw how are you?)
I was over a sister-in-laws house when the whole issue came up and her response was the same:
It does not matter, this is not a perfect Org. it's run by imperfect men, the important thing is to keep faith in that Jehovah will straighten it all out it the proper time".
I was'nt even about to start. I knew that I would'nt win.
i reeceived an email today that said:.
we visited my parents in fl last weekend, and though they're still .
technically witnesses, they consider themselves double agents.
I agree Bozzerunner,
It seems that it may be something like what happened with the bulk of their trucks.
I had a friend who did some trucking several years back and I asked him how it was going, to my surprise he told me that the WT calculated that it would be cheaper for trucking companies to ship their goods instead of them doing it themselves.
Maybe it's the same with the presses.
Which leads me to another tax question: If you're trying to make money, is it better to be a non-profit org. and be tax free? Or is it better to write off your expenses and get a portion back?
It just might be a numbers game,...hell, it always is with them.

this was fwd.
to me.. http://www.communityseed.org/html/untitled.html
This was fwd. to me.
i was talking to one of my brother-in-laws about his time in bethel.
he put in about 5 years.. anyway, i mentioned the post about lyman calling the new black brother "nigger", and he also said that it did not surprise him.. but what i found even funnier was the experience he had with dan.
dan sydlik had been staying at the bossert hotel while his apartment was getting renovated.
LOL Ashitaka!!
