I went out with a real "macho" Witness when I was 18......he started showing signs of wanting to control my life: he didn't want me spending "soooo much time" with my friends" OR my family, I didn't need to work and "if we're going to get married, I want you to be a proper wife." Fortunately, I was smart enough to realize that there's no way I would ever put up with a jerk-off like that and dumped him. The idiot wouldn't go away and started stalking me......I told him in no uncertain terms to f*ck off and leave me alone. His response? "You need a good beating". I grinned at him and said "You try hitting me and you better make sure you get a good one in, cause you'll be going 6 feet under."
This guy is married to a sister who has the I.Q. of Forrest Gump and I hear he hits her (whenever the mood takes him). He's also an elder.

Mary, thats sick! I am glad you had the self esteem to get the hell out of that relationship. I honesty do not get those types of men and the women who marry them...

It's important to note here that in our western cultures, abuse of men by women is on the rise.

Spanking for Jesus...
Found this article today and thought I'd share it with you all. Since this thread already exists here, I figured I'd ressurect it here.
BTW, suggested it to my wife. She is not having it. "Submit to my headship woman!" Perhaps during sex...

Domestic violence by any other name smells as bad.
My mom was abused. My parents (before and after they were JW's) were scary control freaks! There was physical abuse. There were also horrible threats, e.g., "I'll knock your a** through that wall," or "I'll hit you with this hot iron." The sad part is that when kids live in a situation like this, they think of it as normal, or at least don't think of it as abnormal. People need to understand and care about how such behavior affects their children.
So I grew up and married an elder. I could not purchase anything without permission. I was castigated for spending too much at the grocery store. On rare occasions, he would do the grocery shopping and spend twice what I did, but that was okay. I was not entitled to my own thoughts or feelings. Finally, I realized that I was an adult and did not need this harassment. I left.
What is unhealthy about human beings is how readily they adapt to almost any situation. My heart goes out to all women and children, even some men, who are in an abusive situation. I pray that they free themselves.
