  so, what are they going to fill the "public" watchtower with?

  they already have enough trouble filling the awake with sarong.

  wrapping, interesting bugs and breezy articles on natural science.

  Elders in denial?

  by Bobhere in

  after i was df and seriously questioning my faith in the org ( won't call it the truth) i gave a copy of coc to an elder i have known since i was a young man.

  he read it found it disturbing and said that he didn't realize problems that he found at his level of involvement went so high.

  i then gave him a copy of "in search of christian freedom" he never read it said that he didn't want to question his faith in the brothers.

  Hello Bobhere... If you gave an elder a copy of CoC, I would say to give him some time to really stop and think about what the book had to say. It could take weeks or years. But sooner or later it going to have some kind of effect.

  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).

  My Bethel Experince Part V

  by new boy in

  1. social
  2. current

  bindery...........5th floor building 3 bindery line 5.............. the machines conquer all.. standing in the same spot, doing the same motion thousands of times a day........you would get the 1000 yard stare (seen in the war movies)..........the first week, you would think about everyone you ever meet........the next week you would think about every movie you ever saw...........the next week, about every place you would like to travel to.............................the next week think about every mistake you made...............the next week, someone would walk up and ask you "what are you thinking about?".

  "nothing".......you would say........you were brain dead.. there is eternality!......................some hours felt like it.

  a good friend of mine, jim pipkorn (also from the lanudry) who was also shafted to the "end sheet gluer" in the bindery, got so depressed that for months, he would come back to his room make himself some dinner and go to bed, at about 7:00 p.m...................i asked him why he was doing that, he said "it makes the days go by quicker" .
