METASPY- My you were certainly dealt with in a extremely harsh way. When the elders meet with you - it usually is about finding fault in us. I'm sorry you went through this. Hope you are doing better

The elders always sent their wives to hound my mom.
--> you see my mom was overworked during her good years, and had insomnia.
she told the sister studying with her "I cannot get baptized because I cannot do ALL the things you ask of me".
Her answer with the elder at her side was "no problem, do what you can".
I guesss it wasn't the truth because when mom could not go to night meetings, the elders wives kept on hounding her.

when I was dating my wife, elders also tried to stop me from dating her.......
"she's used meat, divorced women are trouble". they did not actually say that verbatim....... but the jist was there!
my wife is lucky (me too): I knew her since she was 9!
she came to my hall once with 2 friends, and a little girl.... (elders and others were gossipping about her "daughter"...... she was not my wifes)!

DA CHEECH- Yes, I really know what you mean ! I'm sorry your mom and you and your wife were treated that way . The elders tell you one thing ; then they expect something else out of you - pretty typical " elder " behavior !
And, I found out like you did - when it came to dating sisters in the congregation the elders really got nosy and could not " mind their own business " . I'm glad I'm out ! I'm sure you are as well ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper -

Considering I was just talking about unjust treatment of witnesses on another thread - thought I would bump this up to get experiences from some who dealt with it - or overcame it. How did you get through it ? Would like to hear from you ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
