Chapter 2: IT ONLY GETS WORSE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So the next week one of the elders who handled my case told his wife the sordid details. She told people that for months I had been engaged in practices that were disgusting. It spread. My mom found out and she went ballistic. My brother was on the elder body as well and was already upset i didn't come to him first. I found out from my elder friend that he demanded to know what I did. His outbursts had gotten so bad that the elders had the C.O. talk to him and convince him to stop his probing. When he found out what had been going on he now went on a tirade trying to somehow get me disfellowshipped... yes my own brother.
What is even wooorse is that he told my father who was also an elder that if I was allowed to stay in his home that he would no longer qualify as an elder and my mopther would not qualify as a pioneer.... did I also mention that my brother was the manager of the company I worked for??? So he said he knew he could not fire me, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut he had employed over 20+ witnesses and he let them know that I was on public reproof. So at work no one would talk to me except my worldly supervisor and the few other worldl;y people there. My father spoke to the C.O. and he said they would not be removed from their positions so they allowed me to stay. However, I now had a curfew... yes a man in his 20's had a curfew. I worked a 3rd shift job from 12 to 8 at this point... so I had to be home by 9 in the morning and could not leave unless it was for a meeting or service. TALK ABOUT CRAZY. My suprevisor offered to let me move into his basement and 2 girls I worked with needed a roomy. I was 2 weeks away from doing it but I lost all courage and continued. I did however enroll in school (My parents refuse to sign paperwork for tution and grants so I had to work yet another job to do this).
I was suffering I was washed up. Yet, the slore that left me out to dry was PIONEERING AGAIN. SHE WAS DATING A BROTHER AT BETHEL! I finished my schooling got an amazing job met my current wife and life changed greatly. However she married this brother and went to BETHEL. Many people I knew that knew I was dating her asked her about our situation. Somee people toldme that she hinted I was the aggressor and PUT HER IN SITUATIONS that were not appropriate. This lead many people to put me in a category that no man wants to be put into... but hey you gotta preserve your own image right. My wife caught wind of it and this lovely woman just brushed it of and never let the lies bother her. (I LOVE THIS WOMAN MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF )
Well one day years later I was at Bethel on a tour... who do I run into??? You guessed it. This bitch acted as if she had no idea who I was. I wanted to say, "Should I pull down my pants??? I am sure you will recognize that" but I just laughed audibly to let her know that I knew what she thought I knew. THAT WAS ONE OF MY BIGGEST REGRETS IN LIFE. I still think I whould have made a stink.

Thanks I had to get that out!!! Ther eare many more details that I would have shared but they are not pertinent to the story. The thing is I had to tell someone this because honestly no one really gets it and no one really gets mad like I do. Even my wife said, "Just let bygones be bygones. SHe was a fucking bitch... she will get hers" I am sure she is right. It just sucks that no one knows how low she was. Typing this out is soothing. I thank you for letting me.
I am going to spend some time writing stuff out on here and just letting off the steam.
