  Ken Little is the Branch Coordinator for the Canadian Bethel.

  He is also the Branch Committee member that is responsible for the Legal Department.

  Then he'll fit right in with the gators and crocs.

  What Was Your Reputation In The Congregation?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  were you considered a "troublemaker", a "complainer", a "fine" brother or sister?

  were you always being called before the elders for one thing or another?

  is your reputation the same here as it was in the congregation??

  Why even bother to read mail from people you don't know? If I don;t know the sender it's off to the delete bin. Don't have time for people's foolishness.

  What did you think about the Bible Tapes?

  by Perry in

  2. friends

  when i was 19 i worked construction with my dad and he always played the bible tapes during the 45 min drive to and from work.

  i didn't think much about it until a few years ago i listened to tapes of the bible from a company called "back to the bible" man, what a difference!.

  the wtbs tapes used an extremely authoratative voice.... with almost pissed off over tones.

  We have a close friend who used to work in the Bethel recording studios in the beginning of the Bible recording era. Said that they tried to talk the GB into doing some more dramatic reading and perhaps differant voices for the various characters, but the GB wouldn't hear of it.

  Here I am dressed in my Ted Jaracz costume. Think I'll go to a hall and see how many lick my boots. Then I'll go back to Bethel and glare at everyone.

  Anybody work in an IT help desk position? How stressful is it?

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my boss is encouraging me to apply for a help desk position that has recently opened up at my place of work.

  it would involve taking inbound calls from both customers and coworkers regarding our software products (i work for a textbook publisher, many of the books we publish come bundled with various cd-roms).. the job would be a significant pay increase from what i make now, which is the primary incentive.

  however, the position is at a different location from where i currently work, and would likely triple my commute time.

  Have absolutely no clue about the tech support venue. But your comment on the commute time is of concern. Please give consideration to the extra stress this will add as well as the stress of a new job. Are you stressed already? Can you handle the increased stress? How does your spouse feel about the additional travel time?

  Wish you success in whatever you decide.

  The last 8 day conventions were held in 1969 giving way to the 5 day, then the 4 day, and now the 3 day district convention. Circuit assemblies at one time were three day bginning on Friday evening, Saturday morning was for field service. This gave way to the single two day Circuit Assembly and one day Special Assembly Day.

  I hated those 8 day conventions. Too much, too long, too boring listening to people like Knorr, who was no great speaker drone on and on and on. BTW Knorr always went overtime on his closong remarks at the conventions sometimes by more than an hour. Why he thought people would love to hear him dribble was a wonder. Met him backstage at a convention once when I had a part, what a pompous ass he was, acted like the world shoould bow to the earth for him.
