Severe damage was done by an ignorant ministry she trusted to do the right things. They simply were not educated sufficiently to understand where and how she needed help. They could only figure that if she was unhappy or needed help in any area of her life that "I" had to be at fault. They did not possess the refinement to understand that there could have been any other reasons for her seeking counsel. As a result of that faulty reasoning they would come and attack me, which was, in reality, an attack on the marriage. She fully realizes they took a very stupid approach and failed to offer her counsel that she sought. She fully agrees that for them to be so simplistic in their errors in reasoning failed her, as well as inflicted damage on the marriage for both of us, and she is fully aware that their stupidity hurt us and could never help her. They left her far more deeply troubled and hurt simply because she asked for counsel for herself in dealing with personal problems. They never properly responded to her requests for proper counsel and greatly increased her own problems with their ineptness.

So, she has no trust in any church ministry at this time. The ministry of WCG is fully responsible for that. It might be a long while before she can look at any of them in a positive light because of the drastic errors and damage inflicted by the stupid ministry that so very deeply hurt both of us.

I will be supportive when she comes to the point of interest in church matters again. I will let that rest and leave it between her and God and I fully believe that is the best way for me to view it. I trust that God, in His Greatness, will work with her at the time she can cope with it.
