  I actually would have been right on this one. I have only heard this for Catholic and Lutheran.

  Jw's don't believe in annulment....

  Divorce is only acceptable IF there has been adultery committed.

  I know if my dub wife left me for no reason it would not be a problem with the ding dongs.

  Yeah they are not in favor of separation either whether legally or unofficially even if no one is doing anything immoral. Basically unless your mate is unfaithful you're stuck.

  You can get a baptism annuled (after providing proof that you were actually disqualified to get baptized in the first place); but you can't get a marriage annulled, even if consummation never occurred.

  And if you get back together with an extranged wife or husband, and spend the night together, the assumption is that you had re-consummated the marriage.

  edit to add: Of course, if the "estrangement" was by divorce, then you've committed adultery, and you both get df'd (unless you prove your repentance by re-marrying...then, if you're lucky, all you'll get is a reproof).

  If annulment was allowed.....the dubs would be having mad sex like bunny rabbits, then annuling the marriage and doing it again. Sounds like fun!
