    had the nerve to counsel Teddy J of the GB about the unkind way things were communicated

    to the assembly hall staff, citing the counsel the service department wasn't following it's own advice

    they give to elders about treating the friends with kindness and respect.

    Since that day Teddy J had it out for him and eventually had him thrown out of the assembly hall and

    disfellowshipped. This happened nearly 5 years ago and although he has attended every meeting since

    and submitted numerous reinstatement letters, his request have been denied without explanation.

    Parlay, thats quite a story. Can you expound on that? I'm sorry if I am not familiar with who are,

    Are you from Bethel? Please continue .....although I am not surprised by what you stated.

    The Service Department is very vindictive. Very forgiving to themselves and their mistakes, very harsh on others. Many Brothers get "blacklisted" from convention parts, appointments and other "privileges". I have no doubt that Ted is behind the removal as an Assembly Hall Overseer, but I really doubt that he has anything to do with the disfellowshipping or length of time for reinstatement. Those two matters are typically handled localy...... but you never know

    It was the Jersey City, NJ assembly Hall. The brother was an elder in my congregation.

    I knew him and his wife. He had been a bethlelite and pioneer before becoming

    the AH caretaker. His name is Ernest Ricketts.

    Teddy may not have directly difellowshipped him, but he made sure it happened.

    And no matter what congregation he has gone to, the local brothers have always been

    "consulted" by Brooklyn, which has led to his reinstatement request being denied.

    Interestingly, one body saw no reason why he couldn't be reinstated, until they were

    contacted by Brooklyn.

    P- It sounds like you might be intimately familiar with that person. Are you wanting to tell us more about yourself?
