Terry,
I enjoy e-books, but even more, I love audiobooks. There's just something about having a book 'read to me' that makes the experience even better.

Are there ever any scriptural reasons why a man would get a separation from his wife?

These conditions are mainly geared toward a JW Sister™ separating from a non-JW husband.
The JW husband is supposed to be presiding over his family appropriately, providing for them, etc. If the wife's spending is out of control or their financial situation deteriorates, he is expected to take charge and find a way to provide for his family within his means. It could require moving to a less expensive home, selling a vehicle, taking the bus to work, spending less on material things, working overtime (provided it doesn't interfere with Meetings™ and Field Service™), etc.
If his JW wife is unwilling to cooperate, the Elders™ will consider him unfit for Privileges™ because he is not "presiding over his family in a fine manner". If he were to separate from her it would reflect poorly on him, not on her.
I think a staunch JW husband would rather move his entire family in with his mother-in-law before admitting that he cannot get his JW wife to be In Subjection™ to his Headship™.

Bubblegum:
"How do I know he is going to be made one?" Two elders have been trying to talk to me over the last two weeks, they want to know if I am still hurt emotionally. Would it trouble me if I saw him giving a talk at the Assembly or reappointed? What do I tell them? One had the nerve to come to the house my house and others are ringing my phone off the hook. What do you think they are going to ask me next?
Tell these idiots that if he is appointed, you will go to the media and expose the lot of them. Tell them that if he is appointed, THEY will be bringing reproach on Jehovah, not you - you're trying to protect vulnerable children from being abused the way you were. Tell them that more kids will be at risk of being harmed by him. Tell him that you will tell every parent in the circuit and district what he did to you.
It isn't "slander" if it's true. He confessed. They know what he did. Damn right you're still hurt by what he did. How can they DARE to call themselves Jehovah's Witnesses, when they knowingly appoint CHILD RAPISTS to positions of authority. How are they any better than the Catholic Church who just moves priests around from one parish to another when they've been caught molesting kids?
