Well they BOTH actually 'qualified for the ministry'!! Although by now the violence had by both of them, become a part of every day life!
Mrs was waiting on jehovah and Mr was getting away with almost murder. Mrs got baptised, he did not. Oddly enough there were a fair number in the congregation who appeared to favour the less spiritual Mr and plenty in the congregation who seemed only too happy to watch in the hope that Mrs, who was making progress, should fall flat on her face! Elder Spoutcrap was a regular visitor to the home, dishing out his unqualified counsel on a weekly basis, but by now he failed to realise that Mr was taking the piss out of him, BIG STYLE!
Mr had the JWs sussed by now. He had complete control over his wife, kids and certain members of the congregation.Lets forward a little. As was to be sadly expected, Mr went way over the top one night and Mrs who had supressed enough somehow finally found the strength to leave. 'For the kids', she would say.
Mrs didn't get the support of a worldwide loving brotherhood, she never even got the support from the congregation that she deserved. Elder spoutcrap and his wife were at a loss for words, for once! Mrs struggled on her own for a while, still attending meetings, but eventually gave up. She is still on her own with the children. What was it all about? Totally unecessary! An intrusion by 'gods people' and another marriage bites the dust! That my friends is the secret of FAMILY CRAPINESS!

Witnesses secretly love to watch successful people in the
congregation fail. There's great jealousy in these kind of
closed, narrow-minded groups. It reminds me of an old
East European/Communist era joke.The Angel Gabriel visits a man in Poland/Yugoslavia/Albania
He says "I will grant you any wish - but I must give twice as
much of whatever you wish for to your neighbor"The man thinks a awhile and says:
"Beat me half to death"

The wt is like a social processor that takes a reasonably good marriage union and breaks it down, back to its component parts. Jehovah is the catalyst.

I believe it is because JW's are not taught to be compassionate. For example, how many give $$ to charity (besides the WTBS) for a reason other than tax write off? How many would volunteer their time for a worth-while cause that they could not count as service time such as visiting the forgotten elderly in nursing homes, volunteering in the school district, or even going oversees to work in an Orphanage?
Many view it a priviledge to travel the country working on "quick builds" - I would be shocked to find ONE JW who spent a weekend pounding in nails to build homes for low-income families through charities like Habitat for Humanity.
JW's are giving and appropriately compassionate only to their own and those they feel are making "spiritual progress" - not because they are bad/evil people, but because they are constantly reminded to spend their time/energy on the Kingdom Work. After all - everyone else outside of the organization is part of Satan's world.
Over time compassion for mankind is simply chisseled away.
