Never really had any problems with elders...Circuit Overseerers on the other hand. Br. Molovski (the CO) came up to me during his winter visit, this being right after i was diagnosed with Bi-polar type II. I was in the restroom, hiding out from people I didnt feel like talking to, and he came in...
"Sam, are you okay?"
"Um, well, Im just really depressed right now, and I really dont want to see anyone..."
"Well that doesnt matter, you need to put aside your feelings and think about what Jesus would do!"
"I really dont want to...its not really an issue, I am i here alot"
"Well, I'll talk to your parents about that. Depression is just another trick Satan uses on us to stop us from doing God's work, Its not real, its just in your head"
OMFG that made me so angry. That was the last time I saw him. Maybe..7 months ago? Right before I really started to fade....Never saw him again, and Ive been happier since.
If he died, I can honestly say the world would be a better place......Same for Br. Aliki....my goodness that guy can be a manipulative little ****.
