WERE YOU A WITNESS FU**?
by minimus ina very good friend of mine ,who was an elder at the time, accurately came up with an expression when somebody acted in a certain way.
let's say a person was a real goody 2 shoes, always supporting the organization, and probably either lierally or figuratively, screwing his brother or sister, he would be labeled a "real witness fu**.

i remember many years ago disfellowshipping a terminally ill older woman because she chose to live with her disfellowshipped "apostate" daughter who was caring for her.
