Pat:
The last I heard was that Betty was blaming the disgusting behaviour of George on the fact that the other leading brothers failed to disciple him..hard to imagine ANYBODY discipling George.

Please understand, this is not in any way an excuse for the leading brothers but Betty has got to blame somebody. Couldn't possibly admit she knew anything or could have done anything because she herself is directly responsible for most of this.
She was the money person. She had a computer in the upstairs boudoir where she kept account, at least at the beginning, of the money, and where the sisters/secretaries would type up the high letters from his majesty. What ever became of the computer?
She was responsible for counseling. We know about the torment Judy went through with Betty and now we've heard from dear Susan McCarthy. Oh, BTW, Elizabeth Geftakys - yes, Elizabeth was also counseled by Betty in lieu of her talking to Tim & Ginger. Can you imagine?
She also was Dan Notti's mentor when he first started the wheel and line speeches (don't know what else to call them) and I get chills just thinking about the couples' meetings where sisters, dear people, were turned to mush right before our very eyes - groveling in humility and self deprecation with Betty's sincere approval, right there knodding and commenting how great it was that the sister was able to demean herself in the midst.
How can anyone think it possible for George to subject himself to anyone? He was never accountable as he was too busy making certain everyone else was accountable.
