  At least you're out of there. It's funny what some JWs can get away with or convince themselves is acceptable. Some are good at playing the system. One of my sisters, an active witness, was married to a worldly guy. When they divorced she moved in with another worldly guy. The Elders came to council her but somehow she fobed them off. From what I heard she confused the crap out of them and they didn't know how to proceed. My sisters are quite unusual. They laugh and think the Elders are joking when they start comming over heavy.That combined with the saying "if you can't bluff them with science baffle them with bull shit" somehow keeps them out of the backroom.

  Your story reminded me of a new sister in Sydney who was found to be pioneering™ 'off the earnings'. When found out she was quite puzzled, she'd always been a pro and to her it was as natural a proffesion as window cleaning™.

  I wonder if the elders called a J.C. so they could get to the "bottom" of the problem....

  Thank you all for your kind responses, although I must say the entire experience made me such a stronger person.

  One MS that was with us briefly (fly-by-night, I think) was a get-rich-quick scheme telemarketer. I realized this when I saw him on the telly one evening! And he was a real greasy kind of guy too.

  Plus, it sucked cause all the money I made cleaning, my JW hubby spent most of the money back at the club during business hours.

  Your hubby sounds like an old JW "business associate" of mine. You're not from Toronto, are ya?
