I had to respond again. So many marriage were broken up because one spouse would not “follow God” or really Jane. The spouse would not be willing to give up all and move to Spindale. Their wife and children would move there and that put pressure on the husband to move. Usually if they did not, it ended in separation and divorce. To me, that is abandonment if one spouse moves out and into another town or state. There were very nice families. The whole family attended church and were involved. Then, one would get pulled to WOFF and the “Christian” family would be torn apart because one spouse refused to serve “Jane.” I can think of easily 20 such situations. But, as Jane would say, God hates divorce, (but it is okay if they will not serve her?).

Lahna, thank you for your story. I am so sorry. I had similar situations as yours, where I needed to help relatives, but was rebuked because I went to help. Who else was to help them? Does the Bible not state that we are to help the widows and orphans (or do they have to be in WOFF?) We are to honor our mothers and fathers (or do they have to be in WOFF?) God did not put a disclaimer on His word when He tells us to help others. Jane has gone to help “relatives” not in WOFF, but that is ministry. Sam even took relatives fishing to be a “minister” years after fishing was another item added to DO NOT DO list.
You know the marriage of your husband to the woman in the church was probably arranged way before your divorce by Jane. The woman had gone through a forced divorce as well. That marriage is one in which Jane can control both partners.
