Yes, JeffT. And there's really nothing anyone can do about it, except the wife herself. In South America where I lived for twenty years, an indian man could be hitting his woman in the street. But if another man tried to stop him, the indian woman would give a tongue-lashing to the would-be hero, yelling, "Get away from us! I'm his woman, and he can even kill me if he wants to." We had to be warned about this local cultural norm, lest we be attacked by both parties. Apparently, the ritual had the effect of confirming the woman's loyalty to the man and cementing the bond,... at least in her mind.

“...Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” Gen. 3:16. Sad, but oh so true.

Just a suggestion. If someone would make a collection of all the posts and tweets where Evans claims to have mental issues, those might later prove supportive to Dijana in any custody dispute.

Here’s the table of contents from Evans’ second book. He says, “Protect your privacy online”. (Lol. He neglected to say, “...from me”.) Please notice the chapter heading, “Be realistic with your family”. He leaves out entirely any chapter recommending illicit extra-curricular activity for those leaving Watchtower.

The statisticians are teasing us?

I can’t remember them all now, but one Chinese menu specialty, at every Chinese restaurant, was Chicken with Nuts. You’d think JW ex missionaries and need-greaters would have better decorum than to laugh at that, wouldn’t you?

I read somewhere that Evans’ second book was more like a pamphlet.

Writing another insipid, poorly-done 'tell all' full of confessions and lies .... Not worth the price to read.
Really, what exjw stuff is even left to put into his new book? Will he try to twist his wife’s disgust with his “open marriage” idea into a “Watchtower aberration”?

If his translators translated "word for word", he got what he paid for, i.e., professional translators don't do that. It would have been hilarious,... like reading a menu from a Chinese restaurant translated to English... in South America. Some ex missionaries and I used to read those menus like comic books. We laughed till our sides ached.
