Genesis 2:22 says, “22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.” Scripturally, God created marriage. NCC, ancient Israel did practice polygamy. Do you see polygamy, as it was practiced by Israel in the Old Testament, as being an “open marriage”?

Scripturally, neither the husband nor the wife has the power or right to make theirs an “open marriage”. Scripturally, God created marriage, and he didn’t offer an “open marriage” option. Either marriage mate can forgive the other’s adultery and stay with that mate, but no human has the power to make adultery “not a sin”.
P.S. I’m sorry I misspelled your name above, LouGoode. I’d first spelled it “LouGoodes”. Then when I deleted the “s”, I accidentally also deleted the “e”. And now, the software doesn’t let me go back to fix it.

That was an excellent video, LouGood. I’d never seen a video by that lady before. Thank you for finding her for us.
Your video was good, too, Anna Marina. Speaking out against abuse and immorality will always anger the perpetrators, in every country.

I hope that if they divorce, her suffering won’t be over-whelming. Next, I hope that a caring, responsible man, inspired by her beauty and value, will win her heart. She and her little daughters deserve a safe and warm family life.

Do any of us here speak Croatian? I have the Pimsleur Croatian language course. I bought it in about 2008, when I was attending a Croatian JW group. It occurs to me that there may be stories of Evans on Croatian social media. IS there a Croatian social media?

Yes, LMsA, most wives probably hope he’s serious when the husband says he wants to improve. It’s emotional abuse for a man who is sinning shamelessly, with no intention of stopping, to keep giving glimmers of hope to his wife.

If there actually “is” some speck of mold in the bunker,... perhaps due to heavy rain and a flood,... Lloyd might be using that as in the Aesops’ Fable of the Fox and the Sour Grapes. “Aw. The bunker had mold anyway.”

Anna Marina, I think that he’s saying that tongue-in-cheek. I think he’s really saying that people should find several groups that seem like good possibilities for friendship and support, and then, when one turns out to be toxic, drop that one and keep the others,... while keeping an eye out for yet another that might be a good match.

This video is only 8 1/2 minutes. It's 2 months old. I don't know how I missed it. It's great because it addresses the vulnerability of exjws who, having escaped Watchtower, latched onto Evans,...thinking that they'd found a new home,... only to have to uproot themselves again.
