there was this one bro that always said "fateful" when he meant "faithful".SPAZnic, I knew an elder who did that when I was a kid. Were you in Port Arthur?
Ahhhh! I finally remembered his name... not sure how to spell it, but it was something like Br. Celestien. (cell - less - teen)
Does that ring a bell SPAZnic?
Minimus, the elder in question was the TMS overseer and my question was related to something under his oversight. I was actually surprised when he wouldn't respond before knowing if I'd asked the PO.
Benext, if, for some reason, you were regarded suspiciously, the elders would get together and agree that if Brother or Sister so-and-so speaks to any of us----"Don't give them an answer".....The elders do that. They really do.......Maybe not in your case, though.
The elders always seemed to have something to say on how to raise children. Some of them had kids that no one could respect and some didn't even have any. They always whought that they were the last say on how to treat your wife, even if they were controlling and abusive in thier relationship. The ones that own businesses would cheat and steal, even to fellow witnesses.
One elder was very much into telling people how to run thier lives. He was a contractor of some sort and was currently between jobs, oh goody he could go pioneering while his wife worked. His father-in-law was a CO, so we know how he got his position. when he finally got a job it was driving a tour bus on the Strip in Las Vegas. Must be a real blow to his ego, being a big time contractor (if he realy had been).
drawcad, How can an elder make his living by driving a bus to casinos???.....Minimus loves casinos.
