Well i was accused for a few things in the past. But i was young. I never influenced any other witness with anything that i did. But i was yet punished and my privledges taken away.
ANYway. Over a year ago in october 2001 i was walking with an ex girlfriend of mine. Who is not a witness. She is a smoker. So she was looking for something and i held her Cigarett for her. As i did that, and elder and his wife and daughter drove past me. I knew it was them. But thought nothing of it. Since i was not the one smoking. Anyways, four months down the line, this elder calls me in after the meting. I refused so my brother and i went on another night to discuss this with them. Calling us in seperately, asking my bro first, and TELLING him that they saw ME smoking on the one side of a Mall. He denied itand said it wasnt true. Since they never said they saw him with me. Upon speaking to me telling me the SAME story, i denied it, since i knew where they saw me and that i was with 3 other people.
So trying to defend myself i got angry and cocky cuz i was being interrupted every for trying to defend myself. And they woyld CONTINUALLY put words in my mouth. Accusing me of things that wern't true. Bringing up my past etc... Using it against me. So the more they accuse me, the more angry i get, they start saying im not RESPECTFUL. But as i try to tell them they not respectful to me by cutting me off and not giving me the chance to defend myself, the more i get into trouble.
In the end. I was Disassociated from the cong for being cocky and having worldy friends. Which was the one girl i was with that i havnt seen for 6 months. The smoking was not an issue anymore. Infact they dropped that and i was Not punished for the smoking "Situation". Rather just for being disrepectful for defending myself and having worldy friends. Which everyone has.
Can anyone tell me if this was a fair punishment or if they were right, being as seeing me with a smoke is what brought up this issue, was yet afterwards dropped.
I think they were just hot on my A$$ and always wanted to get rid of me and screw my spirit up, and make me feel ashamed, Which i dont since i have SO MANY stories i could tell bout elders daughters and sons. Would be fun though.
Tell me what you people think of this story. Its a small thing. But worst has happened to me.
