This happened in Oakland, WV. Anyone ever hear about this? My uncle was as crazy as a loon, and evidently when the elders came knocking, he decided to beat them up. Just curious if anyone ever heard the story. This would have been 20 years ago.

Sounds like a take on the song, "I shot the Sheriff."
"I shot the Elder, but I did not shoot the Minsterial Servant." What kinda wacko beats up janitors?
Talk about a "Do not call"

"My uncle was as crazy as a loon, and evidently when the elders came knocking, he decided to beat them up."
I would def. buy a book with that title on it.

I was just a kid, but evidently the elders came calling for an unannounced shepherding visit. My father's side of the family suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, so it must have kicked in that day and he laid them out right there in his yard. Needless to say, he was disfellowshipped promptly. I've only heard this from family tales, so I'm not too sure of the details. Of course, my mind can see their book bags flying through the air with mags falling out along the way. I've always wondered if they turned the other cheek.

seriously though, I'm with IPSEC - I'm not cool with violence but this dude was out of his mind so I find this story amusing. -

I've long held the opinion that most elders would benefit greatly from a sound asskicking. If it happened more often they might think twice before getting too pushy with people.
