    My sister and her husband live in another city/state from me, so I don't get to see them that often. He's a ministerial servant, they have two young children. I heard a story that happened to them recently...

    He was taken aside by an elder, who wanted to inspect his bag to see how many toys they were bringing to the meeting for their daughter to play with.

    Apparently, someone complained!

    He's still very much a true believer, so he puts up with shite like this, but if someone had done that to me, there would have been a Ballerina Barbie crammed way up an Elder's big fat, pushy nose!

    Amazing!

    I wonder what the magic number was? Is 5 too many? 3? I don't have a Bible handy, so I'm afraid I can't look up the verse where Jesus told his followers not to bring toys to the meeting...

    He shoulda brought along an electric Harley and have her ride around sounding the horn and quoted the fulfillment of the scripture children will be disobedient to parets as living proof and that he is showing Jesus like compassion and understanding in hoping she will see the light on her road-trip around the hall apostle Paul style!

    Surely the elders cannot argue with scripture inspired of god?
