Yes. Fear, dying to self, downplaying genuine and proper human reactions, robbing individuals of their right to reason, think, and make educated judgements. Especially as a sister. The sisters are second class and without a husband as your ‘covering’ you’re pretty much eaten alive. I remember at an SSOT when a sister asked if she could do the translation work because she spoke English and Portuguese and the bros said no because she’s a sister. Not long after I heard sisters translating the messages during a conference. How confused was I! So, did he mean only what was written and not spoken? I don’t know. Anyway, there was a video on Facebook yesterday, not there today, but the sister shared about her experience in the LC and how she was in an abusive relationship with her husband. She received no help from the elders and even told that she wasn’t “dead” to herself and that’s why she cried. Seriously??? Where do the bros get off? I know a sister from a locality I used to meet him whose husband was abusive. She went to the bros over and over asking for help. She was told to submit to her husband, go to the meetings, and get into the ministry. At one point she even asked her then sixteen year old daughter to commit suicide with her. Praise God He intervened! In a separate locality, this sister used to tell me how her husband was never home to help care for her and the children because he was always with the bros or caring for a young brother. I was told by an elder in my locality that she was ‘planting negative seeds’ in my mind and I have to be careful. There were other issues in the church she brought up about how the sisters always cook and watch the kids while the bros sit back, meet and eat. She was a successful doctor and that was frowned upon by the elder in my locality. Sad sad sad. So at one point (I used to babysit for her) she just randomly said that she is not allowed to talk about the church anymore to me. Ok. So whatever
