Is it true that a Gilead missionary murdered two other missionaries?

  When I was a missionary, I lived in several missionary homes (graduates of MTS sometimes lived there with Gilead Grads).

  So of course at first we were all formal and nice. In time, we kind of got on each others' nerves.

  And at first we all told these great experiences from MTS and Gilead.

  After a few months, those stories lost their luster, and we all started to tell the inside scoop about our congregations, Bethel, etc.

  So one of the Gilead missionary couples told me that while they were in Gilead, brother Jack Redford told them confidentially that there had been a murder in a missionary home a few years ago. I seem to remember it was in the South Pacific. A missionary brother had some issues with another missionary couple. He went into their room and killed them one night.

  They told me that brother Redford told them this as a lesson on how bad things could get if they let their emotions get away with them, and didn't solve problems. He said murder wouldn't happen, but be careful and be nice.

  They also told me that they were told never to tell anyone outside of Gilead this information. The brothers "wouldn't understand."

  Awakened at Gilead, did you hear this story? Or anyone else?

  So it IS true. The Gilead Grads also told me that out of each Gilead class, two will be disfellowshipped, and one will become apostate.

  I used to think, "Wow, how COULD they become apostate after going to Gilead?"

  Now I know.

  I can't copy it over but just do a search with "samoa".....mike adams says he did the deed and served 15 years in prison.

  Date: Monday, April 29, 2002 Time: 05:32:21 PM Mike Adams here: I enjoyed my work at Brooklyn Bethel, Mountain Farm and W.T. Farm 1974 to 1979...worked with Steve Watters and so many others, ...remember one big factory worker giving me some static at the table I was waiting on so I dumped the full gallon of milk on his head and cooled him off quick! Also worked nights as walking watchman, and days as Moving & Maintenance Crewman, our crew consisted of seven guys all named "mike"...One poor watchman wasn't watching and stepped into an open elevator shaft down at the Squibb bldg...used to snowboard from 124 down to Squibb and at night almost ran down a couple of governing body members in the hallway from 124 to 107 on those furniture coasters...also made trash runs with "Marcus Stapletonius" and if anyone remembers the wierd sounds of loud toilet flushing and laughter emanating from somewhere in the towers at night, that was me and mike presutti, the dual-headed 'Phantom of the Towers' playing with recordings and loudspeakers out the windows. We later moved from the 5th floor to the 7th and a better view. Sure missed our housekeeper on 5. Any one remember who took ALL my hawaiian print shirts in the laundry? Hope the turkey got full use out of 'em--they were each tailor made as a gift from my mom, one-of-a-kind materials. Any cotton-pickin', finger-licken', chicken-pluckin' apple pickers remember when I was assistant Mountain Farm overseer? What about you cotton-pickin', finger-licken', chicken-pluckin' potlikkers? Steaming pots, pans and milk cans, hunting deer, raccoons, snakes + fishing (in addition to your congregation assignments, meetings and text, return visits, etc.? Whatever happened to Tyler Paiva? He was a worker...I left in '79 to marry a girl from my congregation in N.J. We pioneered 2 years then served as missionaries in Samoa. In 1986 I killed our fellow missionaries Ed & Cath and served over 14 years in prison...released in the 15th year. Still disfellowshipped and wife asking for divorce after 17 years...its been 23 years now and I haven't finished the papers...always busy in Samoa keeping the Airport and power plants [email protected] This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

  Okay... that post from Mike Adams is absolutely bizarre.

  He buried the fact that he murdered two innocent people in cold blood amidst light-hearted banter of banalities...

  Somebody help me out, here. My mind can't process it.
