Any buildings like those in Warwick have basements. Where else would the real wt slaves work, down by the boilers, sewer pipes, and rats!
The early to mid 70's the bunker mentality was pretty heavy in the area I lived back then, and even for a couple of years after, thinking that the date was just a little off! It took about five years, for it to really sink in, that the GB was wrong! But no on would say it out loud!

The words to the songs, are done at the DC/RC's! They haven't done that at the KH's yet, maybe for a new song. That would drive the sound guy nuts!
Who knows what crazy things they'll do next!

At a regional convention today....
by Nobodyspecial init really stands out to me just how phoney the bonds of forced brotherhood are.
the smiles are paper thin when they see each other in hotels.
the laughs forced.

Hey nobodyspecial, it has bugged me for years, the claim, they have no clergy class. I was an ms for years, and turned down the elder appointment twice, I hated the political crap, I had seen so much of, sometimes having to be careful witch elders you were friends with, or listen to. It was, and is a special privilege class!
At the RC a month or so age, the place it was held, is old and full of some pretty steep ramps, instead of steps. A dear old sister, really hurt her knee, and can't hardly walk, and one elder, has been by to check on her!
I remember by the end of the four day DC's, that even had evening program's, how sore your face would be from the non stop smile pasted to your face, and sore hands from hours of clapping over the dumbest things! And CA's that started on Friday, and ended Sunday night, and if Knorr or Franz, showed up, they would have the closing part, and talk way past the half hour or so listed. I remember Knott showing up one Sunday night, and he finally shut up a bit after 11 pm.
The almost two hour lunch breaks were about the only fun to be had!
Back in my early years, most congregation were almost family and friendships were real, we all thought 75 was coming, and the bunker mentality drew everyone together! After 75, with so many new ones having come in because of 75, the closeness really started coming apart, by the early 80's, it was mostly gone. And as the legalistic branch started taking over the Borg, the real closeness is all but gone. Everyone in a congregation used to know where everyone else lived, and seldom did you need or ask for an invite to pop in for a visit, if you were in the area!
I could go on and on!

blondie, believe it or not, they have started pushing bodies of eldubs to start training more younger ones to try and become ms's and eldub's, in the last couple of years, and co's are pressing the issue. In years past, many times the old el-fart's in charge saw younger ones as a threat to their power, and would seldom bestow anything on anyone, unless it just became a have to. I have been in many cong's, and have see it both ways, but by far, the seldom appointing newer ones was the most often thing done!!!!!!

Already this year many of the RC's had almost all new top dogs running the show. My elder in law says that they want to make it easy to change people in any position, without even having had training! At the one I had to go to, already had almost all new and younger brothers, in every major role in almost every department!

I would like to give a big Thank You, to everyone that made JWR happen!
I also want to give a bug Thank You, out to all the wonderful friends, I made there! And to so many willing to reach out with open harts and arms, to so many, crushed ones!
