I knew a couple years ago very kind wonderful guys with great families but when they questioned anything they were promptly removed and marked. Lost contact with them and later found out they both died.

RADICAL ELDERS WHO BROKE THE RULES - we salute you
by dannygwalsh inthought id inject a bit of light hearted humor , any stories of elders who were unorthodox in a witness way , .
there was one elder in the hall i used to attend called ronnie [edit] , who i still like and admire as a person to this day , he was always very outspoken when he didnt agree with the society on there policy and doctrines and was pra, ctically opposed to bethel service , i remember him giving a talk on applying for bethel service in the km many years ago , and at the end of the talk he said joking with a wry smile , i dont know why any of the brothers would want to do that , sounds like slave labour to me, also whe he was conducting the revelation book study , when it talked about the seven plagues of god being fulfilled in a wt convention in ohio in 1919 , he turned round and said , i dont know where the society get all this from , ... .
he also had a very distinctive voice spoken thru pursed lips in a rasp like voice saying thats just stupid , whenever he didnt agree with the society and other elders , a great man in spite of his beliefs , he was one of the elders on my jc who srongly opposed my disfellowshipping , but he was overuled- .

Daniel your comment makes me think of Kinky Friedmans' who is running for TX governors' comment about letting gays marry so they can be as miserable as everybody else.

Did you report this to the Police? I hope so. My god how can the cong mark you you are the victim here. I'm sure Blondie will have some good advice and possibly some legal recourse for you. I know you must still be hurting and I'm not sure I could forgive something like that. I rescind part of my first post. Sorry. dear you are in my thoughts and prayers

WELCOME TO THE BOARD KATHY!
Many here are not bitter, some with good reason, keep a calm heart and yes forgiveness is a good quality, just don't forget. Reminds me of a stupid saying screw me once shame on you screw me twice shame on me. For the most part people here are very helpful and encouraging. You will learn a whole new world exists of great people. Looking forward to your posts

If you are in a country that controls every aspect of your life and have no knowledge of anything else I guess you could claim to be happy. Yes it does sound familiar.

Is this for real? When sharing a room at Bethel thats it sharing not stating what can and cannot be used. I didn't know the rooms had kitchenettes I thought they got all their meal communally. Sounds like this guy has OCD. I'd ask for reassignment. Maybe he did this so he could have a private room. lol
