Re: Marriage advice
In the last few days I was meeting with the brothers of the ministry in Madrid, there was a very pretty sister of Spanish origin, physically the way I like a woman, younger than me, and she was consecrated, serving full-time in the congregation where I was meeting. Possibly she liked me, because once in a meeting we were talking about how Rebekah had given water to Abraham's servant to confirm that she was the girl he had for his son Isaac, and he was confirmed through that act of service and care. Precisely in that prayer meeting, after the prayer session, while interacting with the brothers in the house where we were meeting, she approached me and gave me a glass of water.
I felt in my heart that this seemed to be a sign, and I found it very interesting. Later, after I had stopped meeting with the brothers of this ministry, I met with a brother and asked him what was happening with her life. He told me that the brothers were planning for her to marry a brother from the "training" who was in another town, who was almost 12 years older than her, and so on. I sensed that this marriage was arranged by men, and it saddened me that this sister had been "kept, or rather sold," to a man with privileges within that ministry.
The hierarchical men of the Recovery Ministry are not fools; they set aside the most beautiful and younger sisters for the privileged men within that ministry. Without a doubt, the privileges of religious men within that ministry are: position, fame, money, and beautiful women.
So, young brother, if you fall in love with a sister within the Recovery Ministry, you must be courageous and overcome. The healthiest thing is to help her leave that ministry and join you in the calling the Lord has for you. If you choose to stay within the Recovery Ministry and overcome there, you will have to marry secretly and without the permission of the hierarchical men of that church, since they will most likely defame you so that that sister, even more beautiful, will not marry you and give her to some man who benefits the hierarchical interests of the Recovery Movement.
