The Latest From The Loony Left
by Simon inso apparently, not only can people identify as men or women, regardless of reality, but they've now declared that people can identify as black or white as well!
no word yet from rachel dolezal, who will no doubt be declared a visionary, and sadly michael jackson didn't live long enough to celebrate.. i must say, now that i am a black woman, my views on reparations have completely changed.
y'all owe me some reparations bitches to make up for slavery yo.

I'm a republican. Voted trump. Tired of people trying to force me to participate in their insane desire to be what they are not.
On the other hand I am not with rounding them all up and putting them in mental institutions.
I remember one of the posters on this board not to long ago stating they were suicidal and depressed over failed music career, children leaving, and failed life because of watchtower.
There was also a time that suffering from depression and voicing those feelings would get you committed as well.

Ewart Chitty
by NoAbuse inewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.
the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.
the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.

I have to admit. I do not look at my time at Bethel as wasted. I was a kid from a very poor area who went to the big city... went to parties... drank alot... became a small time celebrity(bethelites were cool lol) ... mad alot of friends, and ultimately became an apostate at the young age of 22, but didn't officially leave until many years later.
Sure I almost died from toxic poisoning after cleaning out an abandoned food trap at the 25-30 building, but I can imagine there are tons of people who never got to have the same fun I did

No abuse, to be honest if you were young then you were worked to death. I remember when I was moved to the Office Furniture department we had to work the typical hours from the end of morning worship till 5 ish...
but also 3 days out if the week we would be back at it from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. in "the world" at abandoned office building dismantalling panel walls and scavenging steelcase desks and chairs to being g back to Bethel and we would repair them and ship them to other branches.
We cleaned the chairs with a chemical called "PERK" that was later said to cause cancer. We used it to clean the fabric of the paper gel walls and chairs.
When we got in early in the morning we still had to be up like everyone else and work normally. The shit was horrible

When I worked in recycling I remember every Monday morning when we had the entire allotment of glass and aluminum that came in the the Henry street building it seem inpossible that one building could drink so much liquor and beer in a weekend...
It was literally like a frat house.
The brothers in their 30s and 40s all had good liquor... the younge brothers drank skanky beer. I still miss Mickeys malt liquor

Because most brothers who were single and under the age of 45 had manual labor jobs.
Cleaning. Construction, auto repair etc...
For lunch in the office complex you had to dress up for lunch in at a minimum a pool shirt and khakis.
In the home section of Bethel and some area of the factory you could wear work clothes but coming yo the table smelly or unkempt was a huuuuuuuuuge boy no. Like huge.
In the 25 and 30 buildings of Bethel however this was not allowed because it was the same area where the governing body ate some dressing up or at a minimum dressing in a button up shirt and khakis was mandatory.
In Brookly bethel there are three main sections.
The factory. The home. The office.
The factory was allowed the ability to dress down, the home was allowed a little leeway, the office was allowed none whatsoever.
It was a very strange dynamic. Most people who worked in the office complex felt as if members of the factory and the home had no real idea of what Bethel was like. The office was literally a different planet.

In the office complex as well as the home most locker rooms were communal showers... many residential buildings like standish also were communal.
Many rooms had showers in their rooms but no one could make it to their rooms from work to shower before lunch.
Bethel was much like a college dorm there was extreme use of alchohol. 57 hrnrybst. Was known as the icebox due to the amount of beer and liquor vonsumed. I went to Bethel at 19 and I was drunk multiple times at the same age.
I am thinking of writing all the filth and insanity down one day. I have awesome shit I remember.
I worked in the office complex, it is where the really ridiculous shit happened lol

When I was at Bethel there was a black brother who was about 5ft 4 very effeminate and everyone joked about him being this way. One day in the locker room of the office complex just before lunch (circa. 1997 - everyone showered in an open shower. There were no doors in a square room, with 6 shower heads on each wall) he was showering along with everyone else. There was another brother from the mid-west (caucasian, and very tall) who had an obsession with ghrabbing people in the shower and giving them reverse bear-hugs while naked anad sometimes while just wrapped in a towel.
On the particular day, he comes up behind the smaller black brother and bear hugs him and proceeds to toss him up and down while keeping a firm grasp on him. This proceeded for about 15 seconds and he proceeded to carry him around like this... for everyone to see. I was like WTF???!! A bunch of other people were in shock as well. This happened everyday for over a week until eventually someone mentioned it to brother Dennis Carrey. The small brother was moved to a different position in 124 building working the desk and no one wanted to say exactly why...
The amount of homosexual activity and jokes and various other incidents that would have had people disfellowshipped instantly in a congregation were ridiculous.
For dog's sake, one of the people who came to bethel the same time I did was kicked out because he was having sex with a prostitute and had her posing as if she was his witness girlfriend. He had money and tons of it because he was a programmer before coming to bethel at what was at the time a very large tech company. The stories I could tell...

Did You Think Jehovah’s Witnesses Were Typically “Racists”?

we had a melting pot type of congregation.
i grew up with all types of witnesses , all with different backgrounds.

I am sure any bethrlite that worked in the office complex will confirm Sydlik had intense beliefs regarding race.
While I was there I remember:
1. Anyone at a table wearing bright colors "must have went shopping in Jew town for that tie/ suit jacket"
2. Blacks playing basket all were like gazelles in their ability to jump and run fast.
3. Most Asian cultures eat foods that even most wild animals will not consume.
I could go on. But I think it is obvious...
