XBEHERE: When were you at Bethel? I was there in the 90s. We may have been there around the same time.

Ironically I knew both sides of the injured parties. I worked with the bro who's wife was cheating.

I'm glad the Bethel lawyer handled her divorce pro bono.
On the other hand, I feel for her enduring sexual issues within the marriage while at Bethel.
Not that I think this applies to her, but I suspect that JW's repressive sexual policies attract men and women with sexual issues. It's the perfect cover for the sexually repressed.

great line here:
If a couple ends up sexually compatible, it will be sheer luck.

Darth: Yes, that line really puts in perspective how pathetic the JW concept of dating is. Because you really don't know a person until you live with them. But in JW world, you go on a dates in a group setting (museum, etc) and with chaperones. Its even worse at the Bethel level. So its no surprise that there's much sexual incompatability along with the emotional and psychological incompatability.

Mr. CC remembers the parties involved. I can't seem to place them at the moment. The adultery scandals at bethel were always a lot of fun.

I feel Mariuca's story has the potential to be as powerful and impactful in scope as someone like a Barb Anderson, because it gives you some of the inner workings of things at Bethel!
