Brother going baptist
by dogon ini have a brother that was a witness for twenty years, all four of us left the witnesses and for the most part are agnostic or atheist.. my brother that is going baptist is going because of a woman, he has always had a problem with not having a personality of his own, he has a very bad temper and never knows when to shut his mouth, he thinks nothing of telling people the most hurtful things and does not see that he has stomped all over someone's feelings.. he is 33 and met a woman in nursing school in wichita.
they started to date and are now planning on a wedding after only one month.
another of his flaws, he is very impulsive and a sucker for anything that makes his ego feel good.

was anyone ever told they would have been stoned to death by an elder?
by looloo ini was when i had an affair , but this elders pioneer daughter told me she understood why i had done it , i was feeling dreadfull and so guilt ridden but he said i should through myself at my hubs feet and beg forgiveness from him and had i lived 2000 years ago i would have been stoned to death !
the strange thing is a few years later this elder told me he had feelings for me , but he was married and old enough to be my dad , although i liked him as a person by then and had forgotten what he had said to me about being stoned to death, i was a bit annoyed that he told me not to tell anyone ,and yet was telling other people to tattle tale on others , i know he felt really bad about his feelings though and i did feel sorry for him , but asked him not to visit anymore as it made me feel guilty towards his wife , maybe it was gods way of getting him to see things from a wrong doers point of view ,as he had a reputation for being very harsh on wrong doers (like myself) maybe he makes a better elder nowadays after that insight , or maybe they think i was sent by satan to seduce a pioneer and an elder !

First witness visit
by dogon ini had a couple of dubbers visit since my move to hot springs.
one was an older man who was very nice and did not want to talk, he just wanted to ask how much for property in my area and how much it cost to build my house.
the other was a ydrtc young gungho who thinks he knows a lot more then he does.

I Come Bearing Gifts! Part 3 of 3
by Shepherd Book inafter my phone conversations with the elder, it seemed only right to attempt to contact our accusers.
since the elder violated the biblical directive and refused to put me in contact with my accusers, i was unable to contact them directly.
i did not know their phone numbers, email addresses, or home addresses.
