Have anyone here ever told a elder he is full of poop. (page 2)

Wasanelder Once

My sister's MS husband took a belt to her. I immediately went to an elder and told him and he said it was a private matter and he/they couldn't interfere. I called him "Chicken-shit" and left. Went inactive for a LONG time after that. I should have called the cops.

Once after a service group I ended up calling an elder a dickhead as he had been very unchristian towards me and others for months for handing our reports in a couple days late. I'd had enough and blew my top a little. Some were shocked, other's laughed. Needless to say he was sweet as pie from that point on.

Was an elder once: I remember in my congregation a ministerial servant that had a non-witness wife was removed from his position due to having hit his wife. She later did become a witness though.

I am usually pretty peaceful and passive, but in the past when the elders flexed, I have shot them down big time. Like get in their face. This was a long time ago in a different place (west coast). Elders out there are a special kind of @$$hole. East coast I find them much less power trippy around metro areas.

Phizzy

Some (many?) Elders are basically Bullies, bullies cannot take it when you stand up to them. We had an opinionated, arrogant bully elder many years ago, Mrs Phizzy stood up to him, told him he was an a-hole,(not in those words I guess), and left him to stew.

A couple of days later his wife told Mrs Phizzy that she had really upset him, yea, we thought so, he didn't have the courage to discuss things further face to face with Mrs Phizzy.

I remember years later he said to me "You haven't been to my house for over a decade". Yea, I wonder why, maybe because you simply didn't listen to Mrs Phizzy, thought SHE was wrong, and you certainly didn't change. They, Elders, are all of necessity full of s**t, but some are more sh**y than others.

When i was still an elder, I told a fellow elder that he was a Pharisee.

I worked with a bunch of JW's once. One of them was a big time elder, ex-co. We were always at odds because he just couldn't help but push his weight around and taking over everything. We got into a big fight one time and I told him to go Fuck himself. I'll never forget the look on his face. Sheer shock and awe. His lips quivered as he shouted "You can't talk to me like that!" I told him "I just did!" We eventually handled it among ourselves and he never pursued it with the congregation. But it was one of the most truly satisfying moments of my life.

You folks are bold, love it.

I know when I was DF'd I called the elder an f*ing prick.

I certainly felt like doing so on a number of occasions, but was just a little more diplomatic about it than that. Mind you, I made sure the meaning was abundantly clear whenever I did so!

Footnote: The definition of diplomacy

"Diplomacy is the ability to tell somebody to go to Buggery, but in such a manner that they actually look forward to that journey."

(Working with a crew of rather roughneck guys who are mostly bigger than I am, I am presently perfecting the art of diplomacy!)
