the end before i left this god forsaken organization. I had expected to tell a lot on these boards about what i witnessed in this organization...i'm tentative because for one i don't think a lot of people would even believe me...and because i don't want to put all this personal stuff out on front street. but one thing i had to say because it's just to great, and probably won't be believed either....
before i left, about 8 months ago.....i met with the group to go out in field service on a saturday. was pretty small group, was just me and one other guy, then at the last minute about 8 people came in. one of the people that came in was an older man who was an elder, probably around 80ish. he was sitting with his wife off to my right flank, in the middle section seats, in the front of the kh...listening to the other elder take the group out. so the elder that is taking the group out starts asking questions about how we can offer this magazine in different ways...and he asks the group for participation, i raise my hand, he calls on me. I proceed to give your standard run of the mill answer, when i'm done speaking, the older man elder off to my right flank, edges up on his seat and he is shaking for some reason, he proceeds to put both of his arms out and cuffs his hands together to motion that he is choking someone to death. he made this gesture at me, full on, shaking with his hands in a choking someones neck configuration, and shakes real hard for like 3 seconds, then goes back to what he's doing. i swear to god this is true, and i swear to god the elder who was conducting (had to have seen this), asks this same guy to give the prayer for the group.
