One of the elders, Johnny. To this day I get nauseous (sp) just thinking about his face with his oversized nose. This is the same man who beat me with a stick in the KH, he said nasty things to me, would call me up when I was home alone to call me a whore, and yet those things weren't as bad when compared to this last statement: My son was born. He was in NICU. Johnny knew that. I was devistated when I had to leave my newborn, firstborn baby in the hospital. I went to the sunday meeting the next morning with pillow in hand (boy was I sore) and as I was getting into the car afterwards so that I could spend the rest of the day with my new baby, Johnny Elder comes up to me and says, "Why didn't you bring your son to the meeting? What kind of mother are you?" Him knowing full well where my son was and why.
When I found out that this man has had contact with my children when they visit my mother's home, I told her that I would move half way across the world if I had to to keep that man away from my children. That didnt go over too well. I wouldn't say that I love him less, I despise this man and I'm not yet ready to forgive him and I don't know if I ever will be able to.
They'll let anyone be an elder it seems.
