OUTLAW- Very true. None of those claims are true. Jehovah's Witnesses have very unstable marriages because each party is supposed to be married to the WT society first- their mate second. Sick
...Jehovah`s Witness`s have the most Stable Marriages...

The org sets couples up for dissapointment and failure. First, the dating pool is excrutiatingly tiny. People get married for the wrong reasons, not for compatibility and great chemistry. This headship thing? Sets up men and women to have impossible expectations of each other. And it never helps for a man to treat a woman like she's a minor child that he has the "god given" right to control.

One elder would stand holding the hand of his second wife during prayer (so sweet and loving) while the sister who it turns out he was cheating on her with stood one aisle over. He also conducted the tower at an assembly while this affair was going on.

I divorced my JW husband. I think the reason there are alot of JW divorces is because too many marry too young. That is what happened in my case.
The older ones do seem stable and will stay together regardless. It's the young generation that realize it ain't worth it!
