Re: Widow's Colony
Thorwald, I know of one "widow's colony" that was in Matsumoto, Japan, in the early 90's. It appeared that the single mothers were moved there in order to take advantage of Matsumoto Prefecture's generous welfare system. (One mother I know was getting 400,000 yen per month in governmental support.) As a sideline, one of the higher-up (female) leaders visited their home and told the members that they needed to have more sex with the very few men who lived there as helpers. (The women weren't inclined to have more kids, being single moms already.) Nevertheless, they "yielded" to the will of this "leader" and within 2 months, all the women were pregnant. Even while still in the cult, I was shocked.

Re: Widow's Colony


Having children should be a wonderful event in life, when not imposed by one person on another. However, it should come as no surprise to any thinking individual that getting women pregnant, particularly in an insular context where they are systematically cut off from the outside world, literally and/or through brainwashing, can be a very effective tool used by manipulating dictators to reinforce and maintain their power over their minions.

Re: Widow's Colony
Hi Bashan, there are so many things to share. Right now im living in Virginia with Israel Selah (from Puerto Rico), trying really hard to have a relationship, that group touched our emotions in a bad and sad way, there still a lot of pain...but i know, by faith, that the Lord is and will be taking care of us and show us the way. The only thing they couldnt take away from me is my love and faith in God.......i'll be praying that good things comes your way, God bless you, Ileana (Ninive)

Thorwald, I remember a "widow's colony" in Hawaii in the early 70s. I stopped in Hawaii for a few months on my way to Asia. That was at the end of 73 and the beginning of 74. All I remember about it, though, is that there were a couple single moms, maybe more, living in an apartment separate from the other homes. I visited there once, but can't remember the reason for the visit, who went with me or who was living there. I also remember single brothers being encouraged to marry those "widows", but can't remember if it was in a ML or not. That, of course, was before sexual promiscuity, and even masturbation, was allowed for the rank and file. Since dating wasn't allowed, the only permissible way to have sex was through marriage, which had to be approved by leaders.

Yes, I also remember the "widow's colony" in Puerto Rico.. it may have been in Toa Baja if I remember correctly. I would deliver food and supplies there from San Juan. I was known as Timothy in the family.
