in another video of ex-bethelite (how women are treated) a bethel elder is mentioned who talked to brothers at the table and gave advice abouth marriage and said that it would be the best to marry a women when is as young and pretty as possible, (at 8:45) so you have the possibilty to train her and to mode her in to what you want and get her used in the roles you set for her..... other bethelits made big errors and married older women 24,25.women that would have their own concepts of what bethel or marriage should be.

@ LongHairGirl=> THIS! Plus, the fact it is all a matter of control (mind and body) of the young sisters. More like slavery, in fact. As always and again, SHIESTY!

@toesup I gotta agree with your point; especially since the child abuse cases and the real estate sale of Brooklyn: makes people suspicious (and rightfully so) where all of those "donations" actually went to. . . . . . . . . .

Commuter Bethelites: Now At Warwick!
by HiddlesWife ini just recently read the thread on this subject started by blueblades entitled "commuter bethelites" approximately 15 years ago.
although the program had ended in brooklyn, wallkill, etc., in around 2002, i noticed that the borg has commuters (sisters, particularly) holding this privilege of service at warwick!.
in a few previous postings which i told about my going on a recent bus trip to there, there were many single sisters used in that capacity as tour guides, cleaning the visitors' lobby and even directing traffic (two sisters had walkie-talkies, communicating to no doubt a central office, informing bus operators when to go and when to stop, when to let off their passengers, etc.).

I found all of this very interesting, because my sister and one of my closest two cousins (the three I spoke about in my previous threads) had applied many times for the above opportunity while they were regular pioneers; and they were rejected time and time again. However, now that I know TTATT and the inner workings of the BORG, I am not going to complain anymore about this aspect. Also, after telling those three family members about it (along with them reading the postings of this forum and checking out various YouTube videos), the above is no longer an issue to them anymore either. This is just my observation regarding what's really going on!

@TakeOffTheCrown It's really funny (strange funny) that photos of the inside of a model apartments/quarters are shown, but visitors are told when touring Warwick not to take pics of the outside of the residence buildings. All other sites and scenery can get a snapshot--but the residence buildings (with the small/tiny balconies)=> absolutely not! Makes one think how paranoid the GB is (like they have something to hide!).

Thank you TheWonderofYou for this posting!
The very sick mindset of men like these are tantamount to those who are child molesters/pedophiles! They think that the only good "women" are those who are actually not legal to get married--they want to have a relationship with children, and not grown/adult women! Like I said, the above thoughts of theirs is stinkin' thinkin'; and this verifies the child abuse issues that is prevalent within the BORG. SHIESTY!

Yeah, the W.O.W. (who think they are G.O.D.) are really paranoid when visitors come to Warwitch=> NO photos can be taken of the residential buildings [buildings with the small/tiny balconies--hopefully Lloyd Evans (a.k.a. John Cedars) took some footage of these for his YouTube video when he and his crew recently toured there]. Really strange (and shiesty)!

why jw's commit suicide?
by notalone inwe all know the rate of suicide is high among jw's.
my question is this- was there some subliminal messages that encourage this.
i was a born in and my entire life i would have these thoughts that could come out of nowhere,"kill yourself.

Xanthippe and dupstepped: Your comments are 1000% spot on!
The BORG mandating so many "standards" and restrictions (most of which is personal, imvho) can drive a R&F member to think that life is worth nothing.
In fact, the very low rate regarding finding a suitable marriage partner in this religion has driven a few dubs (2 I personally knew and 4 I heard about) from attempted to actual suicide.
The two (2): One was a sister whose whole immediate family and relatives (on her mother's side) were in the BORG. When younger (before and after her baptism at age 8), she was always on the platform giving talks (assigned and substitute), twice a month on the service meeting and every service year on the CA and DC programs. She traveled far and wide abroad to many states plus countries for theocratic as well as pleasure trips. Regular pioneered and worked on quick builds for many decades, also. Although, she did all of this, she always lamented that she could not find a husband. She was quite attractive, had a good job (worked peak time--4 days per week) and was a very good cook. As the years passed by, brothers she pursued in her cong. and within other congs. she visited didn't showed any interest (and she was not very choosy, either). So, one night she jumped off the balcony of her 10 story apartment building. Some MS in the neighboring cong. said that she left a note with all her thoughts about the above issues. She was in her 40s when she passed on.
The second was a young brother with the same problem and that he was told that he was "awkward and ugly" by some sisters and other brothers in his age group (he was in his early 30s). He was a Continuous Auxiliary Pioneer, gave talks, was on the Service Meeting, participated in quick builds and helped wherever needed in his cong. After, being chided and persecuted for his outer appearance, it was told that he took his life by an overdose of prescription pills plus slashed one of his wrists. Very sad indeed!

@magnum and billy the ex=> You two are absolutely correct! I went recently to tour Warwick. Although the scenery of Blue Lake is wonderfully breathtaking and the outside grounds are picturesque, the tour guide sister assigned to the group l was in advised us that pictures can be taken of everything---except for (wait for it) the buildings which the Bethel Family reside in! It is "a cardinal rule that no one is to take photos of the buildings where the family live in. Visitors can only look briefly at these areas when --and only when they come for a tour", she forewarned us adamately.
These particular buildings (and I really wish one of my own fam members could have snuck a snapshot) have on every floor a balcony and spacious windows (kind of condo-ish, imho). So, it does seem that the GB and their folks arranged the whole Warwick setting to live in the lap of luxury (they don't care about the R&F!)!

Recovery From The Jehovah's Witnesses - A Guide
by pale.emperor inhey guys.
a friend online asked me about my recovery and how i managed to recover relatively easily from watchtower indoctrination.
although i think a major part of it is acquainting oneself with information about the watchtower and it's history, a lot of it (for me at least) was an inner game.

Thank you so very much, Pale Emperor for every word that you said! I've gotten so much encouragement from your posting than I received in my 38 years in the BORG! IT'S TIME TO GET MY PARTY ON!
