What was the wildest thing you saw an elder do or say? (page 2)

OMG, how could i forget this one.

This was during the bookstudy where we were covering The Greatest Man who ever Lived.
Remember the story about the woman with the "flow of blood"?

well, the conductor paused for a long moment, leaving us all hanging and half to himself
half hoping we would help him out... he stared at his hands in wonder and said:

"i don't understand. where was she bleeding from?"

the entire room remained silent. he shrugged his shoulders and moved on.

ROFLMAO...

Taking it that your word "wild" can also mean repulsive, this is my witness to something which happened I'm only guessing about ten years ago.

A District Overseer elder who was Afro-American was talking at a district convention. He began jumping on a black JW woman who was carrying a crying baby in her hands saying in approximately these words "I'm an Afro-American man and can tell you that the Afro-American woman with the loud baby who has the blond hair didn't get that hair naturally. You see it doesn't happen."

In other words he was singling her out, a way of making fun of her and jumping onto to her for not getting her baby to not be crying and disrupting his talk.

Well, he was wrong. There are persons of African and among Pacific Ocean Melanesian islanders who have red and even blond hair. To me, though, he was even wronger for his rudeness. But, no, that's not the whole of this true story about the guy.

Later I had to go into the men's bathroom. The bathroom that I entered had no stalls. They were wide open. There the same D.O. was sitting on a commode making no pretense whatsoever at modesty, his privates area open.

My stomach turned sick. I just couldn't believe that a man of God or even a man pretending to be a man of God could not only be so verbally crude but so exhibitionistically crude.

I left at once feeling embarassed to be a JW and wondering how such a quack could have risen to become a D.O., that is until I read that Pat Garza openly alleged Ted Jaracz now on the Governing Body of JWs of having molested herself and other kids when a D.O. in Los Angeles.

At that moment a lot of things clicked together and my eyes open wide in astonishment as I realized from that and many other things I'd seen and heard that a lot of the JW elders who do their most to hide child molesters have their own little stalking and harassment groups that communicate with each other.

In fact, moderators permitting, I think I'll start posting a series of such observations made while a JW in good standing. If so permitted I'd like to call it something like JWs - "Just The Facts, Friends"

Confession

We had one elder who was known as a kind of loose cannon. The first time I was in service at this Hall, a large group of us was in the parking lot when a sister called out to him, "Brother R____, do you have any aspirin?"

His loud reply? "No, but I've got some really great acid!!"

----

Once while he was conducting a bookstudy in his own basement, he posed this question to the group... "Do you really thing Jehovah wants a bunch of fags in the new system?"

A MS, now elder, already told me that he smoked pot when he was young. Guess he wasn't raised in the troof.

Well in this loving congergation that I went to...Elders have been known to scream and curse during judicial comitties-

In my own personal experience: An elder has said that 'worldly' guys are into all kinds of kinky sex and went on to mention a few of these and even quoted scriptures.

Also, that same elder said that even though I was reproved for having sex before being married that since my husband was worldy that everytime we were intimate we would be commiting a grave sin because he was worldy.

I have to tell one story.....lol.

I was on my way out and I just didn't care anymore who heard, not like I did before. Anyway, it was during WT service, the subject was about sexual content and how porn can affect us spiritually. This Elder answered saying how porn gets into our minds, and we are likely to always remember such vile images. He then continued to tell of an experience...This is the time I woke up fully, turned in my seat to face him and listen closely.

"I was watching a film once and in one scene, a woman showing full frontal nudity appeared. Quickly, I turned the movie off with a feeling of shock and embarrassment. Yet, I still can't get that picture out of my mind." answered the Elder.

I said laughing (a few seats away) "Are you sure you're trying too?"

A few(about 8 or 9 people) heard, his wife glared at me. I don't care it was funny.

I was studying with an Elder and during the study he asked me
"Have you ever kissed a girl that smoked"
kind of taken back i replied no. Then came the famous line...
"Back when I was at Bethel...."
He then went on to relate an expierance where he and some buddies went to a club in NY and some girl that was smoking 'planted one on him'
The phrase 'Back when I was at Bethel" has become a favorite of mine.

I have just pi$$ed myself laughing at this one.

Brilliant!
