A couple of peeps mentioned Bro. Silva. I have fond memories of him. Great speaker who just arrested your attention. He served in Michigan for awhile and shortly thereafter seemed to drop out of sight. I hear he's doing well, I believe in Florida. He seemed to be a very open-minded. I wouldn't be surprised if he ever posted to this site under some type of guise.
Speaking of scandals, Lenor Brown was mos-def caught up in one. After serving in Michigan, I believe he went south (to Georgia) and got caught up in a little love triangle. I liked him, though. He was great speaker and he even played some basketball with some of the young ones...which I thought was cool. I hear he's in Georgia now, reinstated and selling real-estate.
I've already mentioned this before, but there's a Bro. Antrim Smith who is currently terrorizing a circuit in Cleveland, Ohio. BIGGEST A-HOLE I'VE SEEN IN THE TRAVELING WORK. Not a drop of humanity or loving kindness in this man's body. STRICTLY IN THIS THING FOR THE POWER AND PRESTIGE. CARES ONLY ABOUT HIS POSITION AND HAS GONE ON RECORD AS SAYING THAT IS THE "MOST IMPORTANT THING HE GUARDS OUTSIDE OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH JAH (his position)." Threatens brothers with removal if they don't side with his views no matter how off-base they are. When he left Philadelphia & Michigan circuits, there was a collective sigh of relief by Elders, MS, pioneers, publishers, children, infants, pets, EVERYBODY. He cozys up to the DO who grades him on his "performance" but treats everybody else like indentured servants. TOTAL JACKASS!!!
