Yep. One of my old elders was having an affair with one of the local pioneers for 3 years before he got caught. It makes we wonder how the hell he could possibly sit in judgement on anyone else during that time frame, knowing what he was doing.

Seems like most of the offenses are sexual.

My father molested me when he was an elder and i was 10 -12 ish When i eventually told 10yrs later he was still an elder he was "removed" but it was announced as "bro so and so is no longer an elder" and everyone assumed he'd stepped down and commiserated with the family on whata great elder he was and how great it must be to have him as a father.
Never df'd totally stumbled me. Especially as he was supported and i wasn't.

Mia, being molested by your own dad is awful.

My kids' grandfather was an elder...until he had a baby with his pioneer daughter. She was 17, but indicated the abuse had gone on for as long as she can recall - around 4 years old. This was around 1970 in Ontario.
Despite this, when I met the family in 1985, he was again an elder with the local congregation totally unaware of the situation. I wasn't even aware until shortly before my marriage to his son, my now-ex-husband.

Knew an elder who was raping his kids... well, at least he was still an elder until one of his kids went to the police and he got arrested...
