  Jesus Christ was cool with Bethelites not being baptized, even after picking Watchtower in 1919 as the one true religion.

  The last time I saw N H Knorr with his arms folded like that was around 1976 in Lower Dining room when the Gov. Body announced the 4 year stay was being nuked and replaced with a one year stint.

  The room erupted in applause, Nathan looked straight ahead just like in the picture, at me, as I was in a direct line from him, 3 tables away, and wanted to see his response, since he was the Business Manager at one time, and the 4 year was his baby. I had to look away, no mood for a staring competition. His wife Audrey wisely knew not to clap.

  Notice N H Knorr - the only guy Not looking at the camera with his arms crossed; was he embarrassed to be there for Christmas, knowing then that Xmas was evil?

  Was told by a bethelite around 1975, that back in the day Bethel was so desperate for workers, that they were taking guys off the street and putting them to work. Initially didn't want to believe it, but easy to believe it now.
  

  
  

  With membership nosediving -80.78% drop from 1925 to 1928, Bethel probably didn't have a choice.

  
  

  'attendance at their yearly Memorial dropped from a high of 90,434 in 1925 down to 17,380 in 1928, due to the previous power struggle, the failed predictions for the year 1925,[8] and a number of significant doctrinal changes that alienated those who sided with Russell's views.'

  When Jesus Christ picked the Bible Students in 1919 as the true religion, one didn't even have to be baptized to work at Bethel. Did you have to be Christian?

  
  

  Arthur Worsley wrote,
  

  
  

  'Then The Watchtower of January 15, 1930, arrived with an invitation to help with work at the Watch Tower Society’s Brooklyn headquarters, called Bethel. I offered my services and, to my surprise, was invited to come. It took me a while to wind up my affairs, and in the meantime I was baptized. I finally arrived at Bethel on June 13, 1930.'

  By 1971 they were taking: 'single brothers between 17 and 35 years of age.'

  I still don’t see a clear beard on the guy ,

  Do you see what I see?

  I called up the Teaching Staff, a Brother Slats Grobnik in fact, he told me it was a guy who went on tour at Warwick a few years back and who had gone to Thailand for 'Self Discovery' and to visit their 'stunning beaches'.
  

  Which was a new one for me as I've heard of guys going to the shore to check out the stunning babes, but never 'stunning beaches'.

  Perhaps Elon used the term "anointed class" in mockery of the mainstream media.
  

  'These materials are included in The Healing Anointing Class. The Curriculum Kits include everything you need for self-study or to facilitate a James W. Goll class in your church or small group.'
