my GF was an ex-JW. Her husband was a rising young elder-to-be in their church and he was
beating their little girls (5 and 10 years old) with a belt -- with the fucking BUCKLE sometimes.
.
When she went to her church elders for help, she was told that he had a God-given right to
keep order in his house as he saw fit.
.
When she got a restraining order and eventually divorced him, they declared her "possessed"
or something and told everyone in their church that she could only be dealt with by the elders,
as the Devil had taken her over.
.
That was her whole life -- social, economic, family, etc. She was cast into oblivion.
.
I was there when they showed up on her second-floor doorstep to preach to her. I answered
the door and started threatening them with extreme violence and, the more I thought of my
GF and those little girls, the more furious I became.
.
I snapped. Bigtime.
.
In retrospect, it's probably a very good thing that I couldn't catch up to them.
.
Assholes.

I had never before and never since had intentions like those.

Sorry. As you can probably tell, it still is a very powerful negative in my life.
