As a child I used to wish and pray that my mom would leave my father who was abusive. The same thing, how she couldn't leave him because of the violence, only adultery. It was the hardest thing to stay silent and in my chair at his memorial service a month ago when the elder spoke about how much he loved his family, wife and children. I was almost sick. Yes, the elder was one when the abuse was going on. Thank God I got away and never married a dub.

My JW nephew was pushed down some stairs by his abusive JW wife of 10 years. She had been an undiagnosed bi-polar person who he had put up with for 10 years. Also an alcoholic undiagnosed or treated. She refused getting any help. The elders came to my nephew telling him after he separated from her that he should NOT get a unsciptural divorce. My nephew slammed the door in their face and told them to mind their own business. Kudos to my nephew ! He has been fading for 2 years now not attending meetings and is happier than ever after divorcing his ex " Ms. Psycho ". Elders mANY TIMES intrude in personal lives when they have NO business doing so. They tried it on me 7 years ago - even 4 years ago after I'd stopped attending meetings for years. They are total A-holes essentially
