Sparked a memory here. My father ex-serviceman in World War 11, studied with witnesses and baptised before the questions became part of the deal. He never really made any personality changes and often was at odds with the brothers. My brother was to be given a public reproof for conduct unbecoming a christian. My father had not been to meetings for years, he turned up for the announcement with his long shepherd's stick and stood up after the announcement and shook it in the air and called the elders a bunch of Judas's and hypocrites, he said he was guilty of crucifying his own son in going to them for help. I was 14 at the time and died on the spot of shame, thinking of my poor brother of 17 who just sat there white as a sheet. He stayed even after the meeting. My father left and carried on shouting outside the kingdom hall at the elders who went out and tried to pacify him.
When I think back now, I realise how much gall he had, to be able to do that.
