    there are always reasons behind this type of behavior. dollars to donuts her daddy was a domineering A##HOLE like the husband, or was never there for her as a little girl........I learned alot from going through my own metamorphosis in life, dealing with the demons and skeletons in my own family closet. the husband is totally a textbook case of someone who has to control everything in his life because of the deep fear of loss and abandonment issues, or he was dominated as a child, himself. it's definitely one of the more interesting cases i've ever heard though...........sad, is right.

    How many of us beautiful, capable sisters were reduced to craziness by our husbands and the org?

    I really feel sorry for the lady. Her story reminds me of a "brother" who came back to our congregation when I was about 17-18. He was living with his mother who you could tell absolutely adored her son. He was a good looking young man (tall, dark, and handsome) but his eyes always had that faraway look, even when I tried to engage him in conversation. I've often wondered what led to his breakdown and if he really should have been back at the hall.

    It is a very sad case. The both of them could benefit from intensive counseling.

    This is truly a sad situation, but think about it for a moment who is the victom in the eyes of the JW's?

    We all know that the husband is an ass but I bet at the KH he is being coddled and told how spiritual he is for having to put up with her etc.......

    As far as the CO telling him off, if so great but where was he for the past few years that led up to this, has he gone to her aid now, and where will he stand when she gets out? Chances are he will just want to know if she is putting in hours talking to her fellow patients! - Sorry to cynical I know.

    As I stated, his telling him off is hearsay.

    However, there is one thing worth noting. This CO is Black; prior CO's were White, and the husband may have been able to pull the wool over their eyes. At least, that's the way I see it.

    FHN, she is a beautiful soul - in and out

    Mrs. Jones, a KH is no place for those with emotional issues. I know because I've been there and done that, but ours is a strong family of women. My g'mother and mother kicked butts and took names!

    Snowbird maybe I should come there and give you a ride to go see her...and while you see her and her doctors I will gladly go find that brother and show him how abuse can really hurt and even leave him with some permanent damage as a reminder of what abuse can do to a person. Dirt bags like that so called Elder really don't even deserve to live !

    She sounds beautiful. And one of the first big red flags for me in the org was the way untrained, uneducated elders treated the mentally ill. I didn't think it was right for them to be disfellowshipped. I felt it unprofessional, unloving and even dangerous.
