An elders daughter claimed to be suicidal and also appealed her judicial committee's decision to disfellowship her near were I live about ten years ago.
Her father was a strict elder who strained the gnat for everyone else except his thoroughly spoilt daughter.
I asked him why she was appealing - he said it was because she could, not that she had any grounds.
I asked about being suicidal - he said of course she wasn't but she may get off on this technicality.
He said she was too valuable as a spiritual asset in the congregation to be disfellowshipped.π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈ
Unknown to the judicial committee, she was also shagging three or four other 'brothers' regularly at the time this was all going on...
Her elder father was a complete disgrace who made everyone else's life a misery with his strict, exacting rules.
A classic pet line of his was: 'If you haven't been on early morning ministry you can't go on the congregation bank holiday day out.'...what a complete hypocrite/tosser he was!!!!
