Bill,
I confess, I have been a "lurker" for some time. But I must respond to you. I have loved your site and am happy to know that there is someone championing these poor and abused people.
I am an ex-wife of an elder, pioneer, bethelite, etc. I was mentally, emotionally, and physically abused all during the time of his "glory days". A piece of my story was even in the Awake several years ago on anger management. Seems the Bethel elder that was my table head at Bethel saw a few things that made him concerned. But he never did anything at the time to help me. But, I guess he saw enough to use it later so that he could write an article the society would publish. (Possibly for his "glory days"???)
Anyway, this is just the tip of the iceberg. But I would love to contribute to your efforts. May take some time to write.....how long can it be? How long is too long? I may have to do some major editing......
Thanks again to you and to Kent for all your efforts!
Love,
Dee
