I saw that elders could "get away with murder " no consequences; elders wives could stir up trouble n gossip with no consequences at all; elders children could get away scot-free from anykind of sin(stealing, lying, driking, celebrating worldly festivals, flirting, worldy association) with no consequences at all ! Except for the publishers, they had to face punishment, consequences, disciplining, counseling at every step of the way despite their not breaking gods law.The publisher misses one meeting, he is asked into the backroom/second room.
I have way too may such experiences to share. I wont go into details mate coz its a sore spot, would rather leave alone.
