My brother-in-law has always been a jerk and I never liked him. He married my sister and had a family. Not long after, he became an elder and he thought that he was the shit! Not gonna lie, he appeared to be a suitable servant in the beginning. After some time, he started feeling himself. His ego made him think that he was one of the more qualified elders in the KH. He got more family responsibilities that he and he alone could do, even though there was a more qualified family member. Time went on and he became more haughty and disrespectful to others in the congo and certain family members. As an older man in the congo, he shirked his responsibilities quite often and left some unattended. Started to complain that "aren't I doing enough for so-and-so? "Why does this person need assistace, again"? This led to rumblings among sisters and a few brothers that this brother was someone who others could not stand. Working for a major company allowed him to purchase a few toys for him and his wife. Some would say that the children were spoiled. Money was spent on vacations and the latest technology toy. This brother was indeed not keeping his "eye" simple. As I have said, I could not stand his smart-ass. There were complaints throughout the years that this brother was not kind and most certainly was no longer "shepherd material". I complained as well as others because he could not be trusted with judicial matters. Then.......WTF????!!!!!
Recently, my dear brother got disfellowshipped for "messin around". I was shocked because he "sho is ugly" (Color Purple reference) to me. I always wondered what my sister saw in this peon. All of this went down and everyone was, and still are talking. I never and still don't know all of the intimate details but my sister left him briefly, and to my knowledge, they are working it out. And get this, this jackass called me and tried to check me, thinking that I was spreading his business. He was told a lot of unpleasant things and was left with "kiss my ass". I would not have went there, but this "onetime elder" was speaking to me in a manner that was VERY unbecoming an "elder" and said a lot of vile things and untruths. All the time I was thinking that "he was faking being an elder all of the time". Well, I thought hard about this info and it was bothering me quite a bit, so I am putting his ass on blast!! Now, I don't like to take pleasure in someone else's misfortune, he has it coming. Now I feel so much better. I often wonder if I was the only one dealing with this? This just makes it easier for me to disassociated myself. Thanks in advance for listening. I'm in a stressful situation already and I'm just tired.
