Excellent! Good to expose the inner working of that spiritual wilderness that is Bet-hell. I anxiously look forward to part 2

Scott I would do that but honestly I was just a worker bee, no influence whatsover. I do remember one of the guys from the photog dept. getting married to a very young, hot bride. She was such a flirt. She ended up getting pregnant and he confided in a friend of mine that she admitted to him it was becasue she wanted kids and hated it at bethel. I saw so many while there that just look unhappy, especially the wives. Sad to waste young life there I am so glad I only put in the time that I did.
Black I was there from 1989-1992 so perhaps we did overlap a little.

On the dating marriage and sex compatability thing I would say one STRONG reason was the WT made it SEEM like as long as you had JAH in your marraige...excuse me:
Your marriage would be fine no matter what?!?
How many articles did we have where couples were on the verge of divorce but damnit thanks to WT$ study and feild service that shit just made all marital woes disappear SMDH.

I look forward to reading the rest. So interesting to get the inside scoop on life at Bethel. So many similar stories.

Even though I never went to bethel I could relate to her story about physical attraction and how much pressure to marry a "spiritually" strong JW man can cloud a young woman's judgement, only to find out when it is too late that as a couple there is no sexual spark (that was my experience and it caused a huge rift in our marriage & was a key factor in the death of our relationship).
I look forward to reading more, thanks for posting your link
