From a long time ex-member
On the outside, a nice loving group & generally this is true
You see utopia and welcoming arms
The real picture
1. You give up EVERYTHING and any monetary belongings you give up also – not in itself too bad since it is community after all.
2. If your single you work and I mean work 6 days/wk at the whim and discretion of the “leaders”. You get a place to sleep, decent food and most of what you need although those things are dependent on available income and pecking order.
3. You like to read, listen to music , use social networking – forget it.
4. You might like to visit relatives, sorry only if you are in good proven standing since these people are apt to try to lure you away
5. Any say in your affairs – NONE, you gave up your life remember.
6. Any dissenting thoughts , don’t go there or you’re going to have to repent to the community.
7. Any questions about leader directions – NOW you’re in for it – you just did the biggest NoNo. The word of the leaders is absolute.
8. Like it where you are – too bad, they have this little thing called “Adjustment of the Saints”. OK brother tomorrow morning, no on second thought in one hour you’re on your way to another community.

So that is some of the things coming your way if your a single “brother”
If you’re a single sister, that’s a different matter.
1. Women are subject to any male who is a “responsible brother or leader”
2. You do not get to work in any area that might bring you in contact with single brothers unless it is a very supervised area
3. you will be doing a lot of cooking, cleaning, washing, taking care of kids
4. If you’re a married woman – you are COMPLETELY under the control of your husband. Your role is to essentially be a baby factory.
5. You will however, if you have proven yourself, be invited to the women’s meeting. Women have no position in the all deciding men’s club.
6. Children? – well your expected to dish out discipline with the rod for any transgression involving a child’s will going against ANY adult. If you don’t discipline someone else will do it for you. Still don’t want to discipline, now your husband gets it because you’re not an obedient wife. That doesn’t work, well its time for the dreaded cabal where those leaders (men remember) will decide your faith and probably require you not be a “sister” or attend their Saturday “breaking of bread” until you ask for forgiveness.
Oh yes, since you’re all sinners at heart, a regular cleansing of your sins is required at the main meetings so get ready for Yom Kippur – the big day of atonement.
