    "The above is what the rules are with one exception: A person's OWN fornication is not grounds for Scriptural divorce as per the WT. This is to close a loophole that would allow anyone to go have sex to get out of a marriage easily. Of course this tends to get communicated verbally at CO meetings with elders and KM schools since no Scripture explicitly states this."

    As far as I know, that is incorrect, (unless something changed in the last four years). I know of many who used that exact loophole.

    If you knew this "clan", you would understand that there really is no other place for this young woman to go to. Once the grandparents gave her her walking papers, she is OUT!

    It might be difficult for her at first Min...but it sounds to me like she needs to get the hell away from ALL of these wackos and make a normal life for her and her child.

    There are agencies out there to help her get started and I hope she finds them.

    After reading the thread about the elders getting involved with visiting relatives committing fornication in their homes, I can see how IMAGE is very important. Giving any appearance that you're in agreement with something that could stumble another is good enough reason to get you kicked out!
