I feel that this is a watershed moment in my young life. You see, I project that in ten – nah, make it five years – World Services will be open to the public. We’ll (gasp!) know where they live and that won’t be all. Dream the impossible dream with me and picture this:
Karen Zerby is excited about the new GN I just finished. ILY Family! xoxoxo

KingPeter @JuanRS my flight lands in Rio in 2 min. r u sure sum1’s coming 2 pick me up? GBY!
Yup, that’s the bright and shiny future I envision. It’s gonna be awesome.
At that point it’ll be like “so you’re going to WS? Sweet, I hear Miami has some awesome national parks” (I don’t know why I chose Miami, it just came to me) and I’ll have to figure out what to do with all the time I devote to speculating where those WS’ites might live.
And when WS people come to visit for meetings and stuff, what will there be left to tease them about? And what will they have to be all cryptic and mysterious about? There won’t be any point to rifling through their bags looking for their passport to check the stamps, or immediately grabbing their wrist when they first walk in the door in the hopes that they didn’t change the time on their watch yet, or offering them beer after beer in the hopes of…..dang, this actually getting to be kind of a depressing prediction. It’s like all the fun will be gone. Oh well. Change isn’t always easy, is it?
Back on topic.
Until that day arrives, savor this moment with me. My cousin Bethy, daughter of co-administrative head of the oft-publicized NRM The Family International, (hah, this is such fun) longtime member of World Services and all around cool cat, has agreed to let me probe her mind and share these probings with you. I’m excited!
You’ll notice that this interview wasn’t posted in typical Interview of the Month format. Bethy and I cheated just a little bit and did the interview beforehand and now I’m posting it all in one shot. The reason is that naturally, this interview had to get checked over by other WS bunny rabbits to make sure that Bethy didn’t give away vital information as to her whereabouts. It’s a tricky process and a very slippery slope. See, if she slips and says something like “and sometimes when the weather is nice I like to go out for a walk” this would clearly imply that the weather is at least sometimes nice where she lives, which considerably narrows the field of where WS could be located. With that kind of information, it would just be a matter of time before someone connects the dots.
Well, I think I’ve said all the foolish preliminary things that I felt I needed to say to preface this interview.
Enjoy!
Oh, one more thing. At the bottom of this post there are PHOTOS of real live WS people. I should add here that to my overly inquisitive eye, they’re all looking pretty tan. What can we learn from this?
