There was (is) a lady living in the North East who has had a really tough time. Her husband was extremely violent, especially when drunk, and inflicted severe beatings, including knocking out several of her teeth.
She eventually got up the courage to leave him and started the long road to recovery.
After a couple of years she met a new man and they got along fine, she began to get over the past and found a little peace and happiness. One day they got interested in a local church and decided to join the congregation. They became good Methodists. The Methodist church lays a lot of store in their Deacons, or untrained (inexperienced) people who are 'called'.
Anyway, a couple of these deacons started to tell the couple that a relationship outside marriage is wrong and that God will only recognise the first marriage. Divorce is also wrong. The only 'Godly' solution was to go back to her husband, who she now hasnt seen or heard from for six years. Her new man was horrified but accepted that if that is Gods will then amen.
She tracked her ex husband down, begged his forgiveness and moved back in with him. He now beats her on a regular basis and refuses to let her go to church.
This was the situation a year ago, not sure whats happening now.
They are all ******* insane.
