  Chaos at Brooklyn Bethel 12/2016

  this was how it was described to me yesterday by a brother who has been there for some 40 years.

  "everyone is about gone; the governing body is set to leave within 2 months; the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and i have to fend for myself now.".

  "also the aggravation of 4 to 5 business men in suits with clipboards daily checking out the watchtower properties.

  Oh well. That's your take on this. The dialogues are powerful; the plot isn't my favorite either.

  The Angels will guide a nuclear bomb away from the Governing Body!

  this is one major reason why i dont try to wake up anyone anymore.

  they need to take the first step, and then i will help---- if they ask.

  otherwise i just listen and marvel at how some of them think.

  Coming to think of it, that's how 90% of jws and their beliefs are seen by normal people... Hello Happy Lunatics Crew!!!

  a family member who is a bethelite informed me today that there is a letter to be read soon ( this week or next) concerning the downsizing.

  so probably someone who has their midweek meeting early in the week will be able to fill in the details.

  At least someone is going to remove BETHEL SERVICE from their career options. For what it's worth.

  so, the whole weekend i spent it dozing on and off.

  this morning, before waking up, i had a dream.

  i was passing by a building in france (i don't live in europe) and then i recognized a certain building as the one where one of my friends who lives in that country lives.

  How strange, all these things! Diana, I wonder how you cope with having this regularly. I wish this doesn't happen to me again.
