  has anyone read this book?

  looks interesting.book description.

  ever since american prisoners of war in korea suddenly switched sides to the communist cause, the concept of brainwashing has continued to fascinate and confuse.

  Have not read it. Did not see it reviewed in the current academic literature.

  It appears to be a revision(?) or a re-release(?) as it was initially published in 1983.

  It was, evidently, reviewed in "British Book News" July 1983 p414 but that publication is not available to me (or others?) on-line.

  Amazon will let you read a few pages here

  it was made by a women who in later years wore crotchless panties and bras which had holes in the nipple areas.

  he not only knew the woman in question (she's now deceased), he has met her numerous times.

  up until recently this secret of her year's long sexual affair with rutherford was kept by the family.

  On the 1930 census, Bonnie claimed to be 31 years old, and thus presented herself as born in 1899-1900.

  One caveat is that, at times, census enumerators would call at a home and not everyone (or even no one) would be present. Rather than make a “return visit,” the enumerator might have asked the person who was home (or a neighbor) the name and age of the other, not-at-home, residents.

  Not that the analysis is incorrect, just that we are always uncertain as to who supplied the information to an enumerator.

  at least 1 JW-derived cult has committed mass suicide in recent history.

  Which cult and how "JW-derived"?

  Please and thank you.

  Ironic hypocrisy of Bethel "service"

  by MinisterAmos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i normally let people make their own decisions with a very hands off approach, but after reading the "living together in bethel" (or whatever the name of the piece of crap book is) i need to vent a bit.. anyone here is very familiar with the "quit your job or at least cut way back" talks that we were subjected to seemingly every other week.

  after all, good dubz need time to prepare, attend, pioneer etc.

  a good friend of mine left her job at an insurance co. to pioneer.

  Perhaps it is the "Dwelling Together in Unity" book issued to Bethel workers.

  Thank you. I may have my copy from the early 1980s.... I will look perhaps this weekend.

  Survey/Psych Paper Results

  2. experiences

  thank you to everyone who participated in my jw adolescent survey for my developmental psychology term paper!

  several were interested in how it turned out, so here are some of the findings from the survey.

  from those that responded, fewer jw adolescents (about half as much) took illegal drugs and had sex than the average teen.

  a good suggestion. i have not tried that. thank you.

  my guess is they will not release information of such a personal nature plus he was a "quasi-bethelite."

  thank you for the suggestion, though.
