I find your religion as (Jehovas Witnesses) to be a
hypocrite teaching,you say you dont believe in divorce
well my ex husband left me with two boys and went to live with a spinster who had three young children outside wedlock in Bispham.Lancs they got married after our divorce 18mths later and now went to spread the words of being hypocritical in malta.
