Did any of you sisters or brothers ever help life long Witness hatred disperse? I know the Five Sisters who have not spoken in twenty five years, it's odd to see them give parts on Circuit Assemblies, or District Assemblies knowing the dark hate that exist inside them. These parts helped me realize that the Organization is impotent in reigning in hatred with the rank and file. I got myself shunned by two of "Five Sisters" for involving myself in their personal business! "No good deed goes unpunished!"
A refresher to young members who might have skipped past this part of history, here is a excert from Wiki
"The Hatfield-McCoy feud (1863-91) involved two families of the West Virginia-Kentucky area along the Tug Fork, off the Big Sandy River. The Hatfields of West Virginia were led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield while the McCoys of Kentucky were under the leadership of Randolph "Ole Ran'l" McCoy. Those involved in the feud were descended from Ephraim Hatfield (born c. 1765) and William McCoy (born c. 1750). The feud has entered the American folklore lexicon as a metaphor for any bitterly feuding rival parties. More than a century later, the story of the feud has become a modern symbol of the perils of family honor, justice and vengeance."
