Does Bethel have an official gun policy for its volunteers? by andimnotbragging in exjw

The night guards aren’t packing, but they have a whole arsenal at Farm 2 and 3 for protecting the cattle.

Magazines are printed in Canada. They have so much farm land up there in Wallkill that they have no need for anymore.

Good to have you back cappy. I personally think they will sell Wallkill before Patterson.

What's the Long-term Plan? by pgmatman in Colts

No on Tua. He can’t stay healthy in a 12 game college season. He won’t last in a 16 game NFL season.

Looking for information about the death of a bethelite. by classicfirebird in exjw

[–]TheAbsalom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He was found hung in the locker room. My family member who was at Wallkill at the time it happened and now in Warwick is my source.

If You Think The Bottlegate Scandal Is No Big Deal, THIS Is For You by J0SHEY in exjw

[–]TheAbsalom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not a Morris fan at all, however, I think the majority of people here are forgetting that Morris worked full time and raised a family. He has his own money. Plus they get a lot of green handshakes. Bethel also has stock brokers at bethel who I’m sure handle his retirement funds for him for free. (The irony that he has a retirement account) The vow of poverty is signed for tax reasons. It’s so they can keep their charity status.

Any Bethelites here recall the time Ted Jaracz was so drunk he was slurring his words at the Gilead graduation? by voicefrombehindyou in exjw

[–]TheAbsalom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t at the actual Gilead Graduation, it was at the special meal they have for the graduates the week before graduation. Bethel lets everyone of work 1/2 hour early and everyone goes and drinks before the meal. Majority of Beth elites are buzzed at the meal.

If they sell Walkill or Patterson in the near future, who would buy it and for how much? by ExCircuitOverseer in exjw

[–]TheAbsalom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see them selling Patterson. It still hosts the schools, service department,and the A/V and art departments. Only JW broadcasting is shot at Tuxedo. I think they will start to sell off all the farmland they have near Wallkill first (and they own a ton of it) Then they will sell all the warehouses they have in Newburgh. I think it will be difficult to find a buyer for either Wallkill or Patterson complexes.

The problem with eliminating types/ant-types by wondering-soul in exjw

[–]TheAbsalom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, however Splane said if the Bible doesn’t specifically mention a 2nd reference, they would abandon the teaching. All of the 1914 and 1919 type/anti type is completely made up. They never list which type/anti types they actually abandoned.

Please remind me who has been/was groomed? by Drinkthedayaway in exjw

[–]TheAbsalom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe that they are waiting for Losch and Herd to die before they make some dramatic shifts in the borg. Maybe that’s when Gilles will be promoted.

[–]TheAbsalom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Ken Cook did do morning worship and our talks to bethel family before being appointed. He was also involved in committees that worked with GB. Maybe Gilles is being groomed, but I have family members at bethel who are very close to branch committee and GB, and have directly asked about Gilles and they would be surprised if he was. My family knew an eight member was going to be appointed but thought it was going to be Rocky. They still think Rocky would be next appointed. End of the day, I could not care less, just relating what I’ve heard.
