Born JW in 1978. Daughter of pioneer and elder. Sister of regular pioneer and elder. Father is chairman of HLC, and also PO. Baptised 1993. Married a 'weakling' in 1998 after being blackmailed about him telling my parents what we had been up to. Regularly pleaded with elders to let me leave him after suffering physical, mental and emotional abuse as well as no financial support, without divorce or ever wishing to remarry. Was told "only death and adultery end a marriage".. and i wasn't gonna kill myself! DFd Oct 2001
