    I have a cousin who was a full time pioneer and got married to a man who was made an elder. She has been suffering for years and years. In the privacy of her sister's company and some cousins she kept saying as soon as her girls were old enough she would make a move. She was forbidden by her husband to associate with anyone in her family without his presence. This was despite the fact her father and mother have been in the truth for over 60 years. Her father being an elder and all her brother and sisters raised in the truth, most long gone.

    About 6 weeks ago I sent her a link to a website for women only of xjws. GUESS WHAT?!!! After being on this site for about a month, she got the strength to get her elder husband thrown out and start her own life!!!!

    I am going to see her Monday for a week along with her sister who has been a huge support.

    I am so thrilled for her.

    I will be gone next week.

    Wow, what a change! Now you get to iron a big red A on your t-shirt. LOL.

    Could you post the link to the website here? I'm curious what she was reading.

    I heard that one of the parts on this summers DC is about sisters who are going to school and educating themselves so that they can leave their husbands (made no mention whether this was due to the factthat the husbands were abusive.) After reading your experience and several other I can see how this can be a problem for gods happy people:)

    Great news! I always love to see a woman become empowered after being held under the thumb of an asshole.
