http://jwdivorces.bravehost.com/decisions/ctrdivorce.html - the founder of the WT/JW and a reflection about his views of himself and life and the religion he built. His legacy is alive and well, even today.
"While professing at all times to be guided
by the Word of God the undisputed evidence is that he would sulk for
weeks at a time and not speak to his wife, and would resort to the pen
to have any communications with her; instead of approaching her
personally to try to secure reconciliation of their differences and
praying with her as a godly man would have done, he went about among her
associates and told them she was under the hypnotic influence of Satan
in the form of her sister, who was his father's second wife." A little bent.
I remember reading an article that had photo copies of a local area news paper that included the facts, from court, that she filed for divorce due to cruelty, an in part because Russell would lock himself self in a bedroom with the 14 year old "house girl" that cleaned. When she was called to testify, the court was told she was traveling - Russell had given her some cash and put her on a sloooow boat to Australia.
For those that know my story - the divorced woman I was engaged to lived her entire marriage under the training of Russell's legacy. Beat her and treated her like a servant.
I don't see much difference in the JW thinking today. Russell was the original child sexual abuse scandal. Is it any wonder that it still exists, and covered up, by the WT/JW.
