A man was studying with the witnesess whom happened to be a old friend of one of my sisters, whom used to lead a very imoral life.
This guy turned up at sigle womens houses quite often.
Anyway this nice man started studying the scriptures,after 18 months or so his wife even attended the meetings. Whom we were told was an old dragon, nasty, overbearing and disloyal,hence, when we actually met her she was kind honest and sweet.Her husband had given everyone the wrong impression of her.
My wife started studying with her, which the husband didnot like.
As we found out, the rat of a husband kept his wages for himself spent, all his earnings on himself, and she had to work for her neighbours in the scope of ironing and cleaning there houses for a pittance, as well as baby sitting to earn enough to buy food for herself.
Of course there were the beatings and abuse thrown into the marriage. He used to work on the roads earning around seven hundred pounds per week.
There washing machine broke down and needed mending but, he made her wash all his dirty tar ridden clothes in a bath leaving her hands bleeding and red raw, he eventually had the washing machine fixed after six months, he had done his damnest to make her leave the property.
He would not pay for vet bills for his sick dog which was put down.
The local elders were informed but would not believe the information we supplied to them, they ignored his wifes pleas for help, they eventually got divorced.
THIS MAN WAS THEN MADE UP AS A MINISTERIAL SERVANT.
He then met a sister, was free to marry and did just that, all with the blessings of the elders ,
QUAKERS OR WHAT ??????Any one else experienced this type of treatment by a ministerial servant.
