Dannyboy has it right: these types don’t get called down.
I’ve finally used Blueblades scripture <interlude for scriptural enlightenment>
1 Peter 4:15 "However, let none of you ( including an Elder's wife ) suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a BUSYBODY in other people's matters.
<end interlude for scriptural enlightenment>
on my father, the biggest gossip/meddler/busybody I’ve ever seen. He should have been DF’d 10 years ago for this mischief.
Do you think you get any justice from the eLDERS? Any enforcement of a scriptural requirement? No, it doesn’t suit their selfish needs. Besides, the "old man" politicked so badly to the CO’s that things were reversed and muddled over and over again.
Finally, when active JW’s from another congo complained, through their committee’s, the local eLDERS "roped the area off and declared the whole thing A FAMILY MATTER". They basically said we’re washing our hands of it and everybody else leave it hands off.
He is allowed to use the religion as a club, but you can't get any redress or relief over the matter!!!
So, all I’m left with is being able to group the "old man" with thieves and murderers. Then there is the fact that he now qualifies for the STALKING LAWS!!!
So, I’m left with a dysfunctional family, bordering on lawlessness and winked at by the eLDERS: proof positive that there is no Holy Spirit in that religion!!!
