Ok, I see this:
"Divorce & Jehovah's Witnesses
Jehovah's Witnesses interpret Scripture to indicate that the only grounds for divorce and remarriage is adultery. If a Witness divorces for any reason other than adultery they cannot remarry without risk of being disfellowshipped.
Separation from a partner is allowed in the case of spiritual or physica ...[text shortened]... example of religion sticking it's nose into areas that should be out of their realm of control.
First of all there is one official website of Jehovahs witnesses and its jw.org, jwfacts is an apostate anti witness website, you can make of that what you wish.
Secondly the Bible is quite clear and its tedious to have to repeat it, there is a single ground for divorce, marital infidelity. Jesus himself states that if anyone divorces and remarries on any other ground they make themselves an adulterer, or have you never read,
I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Matthew 19:9 - NIV
This makes rather a mockery of your first statement that women cannot initiate a divorce and the second objection that it is done to control people is nothing more than a piece of nonsense and I really wish you would refrain from using these scriptural principles as a vehicle for your anti religious propaganda.
I will repeat it so that you make no mistake about it, for any Christian living by Biblical principles there is a single scriptural reason for divorce, that being adultery. Jehovahs witnesses did not author this, did not originate it and did not interpret it, its self evident to any reasonable and rational person reading the Bible with an unprejudiced mind.
