That was the end for me, of course.
Many years passed that I wished that even one of them in that place would reach out to me as a brother in the Lord, even if I didn't really want to be part of Laodicea.
But I always respected the instruction of that elder.
I never spoke to them again.
When years later I sought out and attempted to make peace with this elder, he denied recollection of the event entirely, he apologized vaguely before those watching him expectantly that if I were upset then it must have transpired, and he never attempted to speak to me again.
All the gathered saints there that day sang a joyous hymn about brethren dwelling together in unity but none of them ever attempted to contact me again. I had to surmise I hadn't passed the test, whatever it was, and that consequently the instruction not to contact me had not been officially lifted. (Although the elder had also denied that day that such an edict had ever been issued.)
The Lord's eye salve has been costly to me indeed.

Did you leave the LC after that incident? What a horrible, humilating experience that must have been for you! How sad.
Those people have absolutely no cooth how to address people ! Clearly there was no anointing on that 'elder'.
What made you go back to that elder?
How long were you in the LC?
As for the song......brothers dwelling in unity...yeah..right. Unity with the elder nothing more. I pray the Lord will if He hasn't already, shined His light on that 'elder' to repent and ask, truly ask God's forgiveness and YOURS!
I pray the Lord has healed all your wounds.
God is Good..He is JUST also. Vengence is the LORD's.
