    Elders are put in a paradoxical situation. They either keep secrets from their wife/family. Or they break elders' rules.

    Knowing how women operate, there's a lot of congregational secrets that leak out during pillow talk.

    There was always some very dramatic event in my last congregation. It would have been hard to ignore them all and just go on as if everything was all sweetness and light, as we were supposed to. These are all true, but you guys probably won't be shocked. After all, you've been dubs, too.

    An elder's son fell in love with the wife who was half of a couple who just moved to our congregation. Eventually, she divorced her new husband and married the elder's son.

    At an assembly at a school, a couple of adolescents went into a closet and closed the door, locking themselves in. I think a school official had to be called to find a solution and set them free.

    A sister's (unbelieving) husband had an affair with her (fleshly and "spiritual") sister while his wife was in the hospital having a baby.

    The wife of a "Jonadab" left him because, allegedly, he wouldn't buy furniture and other household necessities.

    A brother was asked by a householder if he would like something to drink. He asked for a beer.

    A family who was not approved for baptism because, apparently, they could not answer the baptismal questions, moved to another state and notified the congregation that they had been baptized in a regular church.

    A congregation couple's pregnant non-JW daughter who had been living in another state moved back in with her parents. A pioneer brother fell in love with her and married her.

    I could go on, but you get the picture.
