i knew an elder who's wife left him not divorce seperated..... he started seeing this sister and went out to dinner with her every kh gathering there they were sitting and very open with their feelings.. finally this elders wife filed for divorce and less than a month later ..........this elder and sister were married.. he told me while he was still married i know who i would marry!

i thought if this was anyone else they would be talked too so fast.. everyone in the hall whispered about the 2 but since he was an elder no one had the guts to say anything..... anyone else see elders or others because of their status..... get away with things anyone else would be df'd for?.

I saw something somewhat similar happen... our presiding overseer and his wife were still living in the same house, but on all other counts they were separated. In fact, he would sit in the front right hand corner of the hall, and she would sit in the far back left.

They travelled in separated vehicles and lead separate lives. At that time I was about 18 years old. I was friends with the p.o.'s son. I remember going to a sister's home to watch a movie and the p.o. was there too. It was quite obvious that he and another separated sister were emotionally involved.

I guess because the rest of us were so young they figured they were safe. Anyway, in time my friend - the p.o.'s son - was publicly reproved and so his father stepped down but being very vocal that it was over the conduct of his son.

It made me so sick because we all knew he was up to no good and it was actually very disturbing for us kids to see what was going on.

I ended up moving away so I'm not sure what ended up happening with this situation. I heard the former p.o. and his wife did officially separate and go their own ways, but i'm not sure beyond that.

That's nice... they don't bother to give us one. It doesn't matter that we have written them three letters... somehow our place gets skipped over.

Bitter? Nah. Not me! LOL!

Thanks to all of you for your warm welcome! I hope that JWM can keep you all entertained (LOL!) since I am using any spare moment to shock myself with Ray Franz' 'Crisis of Conscience'... I know it's taking me a while to read it which is very unusual for me... but I am really pondering over what he is saying and even re-reading as I go, just to take it all in.

So please keep JWM busy so I can sneak away and read! LOL!
