  What was the wildest thing you saw an elder do or say?

  after replying to a recent thread, it made me think:

  i`ll bet that there are some wacky elder experiences out there.

  there was also the famous f-bomb during the prayer.
  a newer brother (k, so it wasn't an elder) had the closing prayer and seeing that it was his first time, he brought up notes to ensure he covered the major points...
  well, unfortunately he lost his place and slipped in a frustrated "F*CK!"
  
  good times, yes.

  OMG, how could i forget this one.
  
  This was during the bookstudy where we were covering The Greatest Man who ever Lived.
  Remember the story about the woman with the "flow of blood"?
  
  well, the conductor paused for a long moment, leaving us all hanging and half to himself
  half hoping we would help him out... he stared at his hands in wonder and said:
  
  "i don't understand. where was she bleeding from?"
  
  the entire room remained silent. he shrugged his shoulders and moved on.
  
  ROFLMAO...

  during a shepherding call discussing doubts about the organization,
  this one elder said that he read this book on the Masons and was so fascinated by their beliefs...
  
  the other elder glared at him, like "what the heck are you saying?"...
  
  then i became a Mason.

  In the spirit of match-making, who do you have a crush on?

  by MsMcDucket in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  oh, and i suppose i could answer your question (sorry).

  i've been privately reproved twice.

  i quit pioneering the first time and they wanted to know why. well, there were many reasons why i didn't feel i met the qualifications (i.e. clubbing, boys, drinking, smoking, drugs)... but i only told them that i smoked. they asked if i'd stopped? i said yes, and that i felt horrible for doing it... hence private reproof.

  and i drove home smoking.

  2nd time, i was moving away and wanted to clear my "conscience" or anything that might follow me (let's not question the whys here).

  so, i invited them to a JC meeting! told them i had started smoking again (but in reality had slept with a boy, and then the rest, drugs, clubbing, drinking, smoking). this confession resulted in 2 months of no commenting "priviledges".

  well, if you are posting on this ex-jw site, then you're probably not too concerned over what they'll think or say.

  so, i say, just lie or give minimum detail if you must.

  try to cry (you know, fake a few tears)... if you don't want severe discipline and want to continue on in that ogranization, then tell them how very repentant you are, and you'll probably get off with public reproof.

  of course, that all depends on the BOE.

  good luck!
