'I have great freeness of speech toward you.' 🤐 But remember, Saint Paul never wrote that at Bethel.😉

to them 'freeness of speech' means the the glib recitation of the party line.

I'd miss breakfast every so often, but would hate to miss Ray Franz's comments, as he was basically the only GB member that didn't sound like he was reading something out of the Watchtower.

He actually could think and speak outside the box.

Correction -

picture of Me asking, "Why are you leaving?"

is wrong. Should be:

picture of a brother like Me, 49 years ago, (full-blown naïve and ultra gullible) asking, "Why are you leaving?"

i've seen this guys history of predictions and he probably owns the worlds finest ancient coin collections in private hands.

'QUESTION: You have suggested that we will end up at war with China, Russia, North Korea, and even Iran simultaneously. How does Socrates conclude such an event that perhaps never happened in the past?

ANSWER: ... Socrates has correlated everything. I am sad to report that we are looking at a global uprising. This time, it will be our pretend democracies that are no different than authoritarian monarchies that meet their demise post-2032.'

A whole lotta hemming and hawing. The only approved answer is, 'wife is pregnant'. He couldn't say, 'We woke up'. He couldn't tell me the reason. The silence was intense. Bethel Elders didn't have freeness of speech!

It's a Big lie, Jehovah's Witnesses -
'OVER six million people in 235 lands enjoy what the Bible calls “freeness of speech.”

N H Knorr invited me by letter, asking me to show up Monday August 12, or was it the 19th?

How did that ever happen? Four or five years earlier, I had come to the conclusion that Bethelites were the strangest people on the planet!

I didn't have freeness of speech in my congregation, in the Great Appalachian Valley, north of FL. courtesy of direct orders from the Elder body six months before arriving at Bethel.

Certainly there'd be freeness of speech at 'the House of God'.

During the summer, it's vacation, assembly time, so it was open seating till Sept. September started assigned seating, I sat next to the table head, across from his wife.

First Bethel Lesson:

After a couple days, the Bethel Elder tells me before breakfast, with just the three of us there, that they'll be leaving Bethel shortly.

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

The guy to Knorr's left imitated him in not looking at the camera.

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.'
