Please don't take the mick....but I got disfellowshipped for kneeing an elder in the nads

by outinthemeadows in

an elder in my congregation got on my nerves because he kept putting his arm around me and i'd asked him to stop.

a few weeks later he did the same thing again so i used my knee against his micro-penis.

a judicial committee was formed even though i was being sexually harrassed by this octapus of an elder.

You know what? I agree with the OP. People ought to just keep their hands to themselves. To continue to hug a woman who specifically said she doesn't want it is at the best very stupid and patronizing. At the worst, it's harassment. He apparently didn't listen to what she said. She made her point a little more firmly.

I was in a congregation with elders who liked little blonde teenagers. It was very creepy to be "hugged" by them.

I like you. Creepy asshole deserved to be kneed, he didn't listen to you when you told him to stop touching you.

My story....

by Come On Out The Waters Fine in

tell us a little about yourself and your family.. found this form so i decided to post it.

(it will be interesting to re-read this in 10 years).

i'm actually not a total newby to the group.

Thanks for sharing. I found it interesting that you found it difficult to make decisions for yourself after leaving the wtbts. I noticed the same thing -- difficulty making decisions at first, difficulty being responsible for myself. I learned, eventually, but it wasn't always easy.

My sister died

by poppers in

just got word that my sister died.

she had surgery for heart valve replacement about 5 weeks ago, and when they opened her up for it they found cancer.

we had an extra special relationship since i was her "birthday present" when she turned 10 in 1951. this is my second sibling to die of cancer in 14 months..
