Barbara- Since I know that you are reading the comments in the forum today, I would like to introduce myself. Well, not really, as I am still anonymous. But I feel that I know you due to reading all the information available about you and your husband. I wrote a message to you about your court battle. Don't know if you saw it. I do not know how to navigate in this forum yet. I am still a witness. I had no idea about all the controversies going on. I was the ideal Elder's wife-I did not ask my husband about any case, did not listen to gossip, tried to think the best of everyone and tried to please every person. Yes, as this forum describes it, a typical Dub. I would never have looked at any information on the internet, being the obedient to the bone person I was, had it not been for the fact that the Elders in the Hall treated my family very badly. I was shocked and dismayed, and then it occured to me to type in the words Watchtower and Abuse, as I reasoned that if my family had been treated badly, perhaps others had also. Of course the information sent shockwaves through me!!!!! I don't know if you actually live in Tullahoma Tenn. but I have been there before. My brother married a girl from there some 34 years ago. Anyway, for some time now my husband and I have been so depressed because of finding out what's really been going on. I would like to ask, how do you think the G.B. justifies not relating the facts about the United Nations to the rank and file? Did they give any excuses when you were at Bethel?
