Things Learned in the Night
by Never knew i ever cared
I was at this guys house for the study and on the tv with the sound muted was the yankees game. I kept glancin over from time to time at the screen. When I got home i turned on the game immediatly, watched it unitl the painful end. I don't know why i cared, maybe it's just rubbing off of people who care about baseball & the world series. Or maybe I'm one of those fans who only care when something important is going on, like the world series. I dunno. In any case, i never knew that i cared, but i guess i do.
Brian is a Bethelite
I don't think he knows it yet, but He is. But anyways, we stood there on the corner at night, doing streetwork, and in the meantime playing a game where we each take a turn explaining a different scripture. It was real good, real encouraging, and took my mind off the fact that i had to use the bathroom so bad. After we came out of a study togehter, i felt so upbuilt. It was as if we had just come out of an assembly. It the same feeling I had coming out f bethel. So yeah, I think he's a bethelite, or will be. Altogether, it was a good nite.

you know what's weird, adam?? you think of a bethelite as someone really spiritual...which is good. we live so close to bethel here...and every time I personally go anywhere, I see how bethelites act (the young ones, specifically), and so bethelties kind of have a reputation. I could generalize reaaaally big time here, and say that bethelites are guys who are BARELY 19 who come from idaho or arkansas or texas or someplace equally deserted. I've only met one in ALL my life from NJ. And I never met one from around the city...I've forgotten what the point is I'm making here. Someone help.
I think you're right (well...partially from the little bit I was able to get out of all that incoherent rambling:). People can stereotype bethelites as these role models that are so spiritual because a lot of people look at bethel like that, but in actuality a lot of the bethelites that we've seen (because we live around here), don't live up to the standards that many people think they have.
its sad, but i think for the most part, bethelites are just kids trying to get away from their god forsaken towns in east jabib, OH so they can tell people they're from brooklyn
3 posts above are true, i have met many that im still confused how they got into bethel or why they are still there, and others that i feel like i should know every scripture off hand just to have a conversation with them.
really what i was sayin was not that he was probably like one ofthe bethelites there, but that after workin with him you got the same spiritually high feeling you get when you visit bethel. But yea i get what you mean. Like you said, a lot are brothers who are barely 19, so they still havea lot of growing up and amturing to do. I think the most mature brother werethe ones i saw at Patterson, just because they were older. So I wouldnt look and say to myself that I wana be like any random bethelite, imagining that all of them are showing a good example, but i would definitely wanna live up to the bethel standard that theyre supposed to live up to. Anyway, this brother is a "bethelite" symbolically speaking, cuz of his spirituality and everything
I realized that when my brother went temporarily.. bethel is lettin anybody in these days...
lol. how did they let your brother in, anyway? don't you have to speak english to get in?
really i have no idea and i just learned that he is going back at the end of november i am so thrilled to have him leave again... i do say watch out to all those new york girls.
really? we had a whole bunch of brothers from our hall (born and raised in NJ) that went to bethel.
I cant stand bethalites all they do is steal our women!
spoken like a true Upstate NY kid... pure insanity.
YO CERRAT I HEAR YA!!! They got no game and still take away the hot ones. "Yo baby, want to come to my room and study the watchtower with me with the door open..."
yo dont worry bout those chicks who only date bethelites, they aint good enough for you.
woah...magnum said something nice??!?! what's going on here? are you ok,man?
He's just turned on my Cerrato's macking abilities.
