Being "a good brother" in my opinion is really arbitrary. What's the basis of being a good brother? One who submits unequivocally "to the brothers" and whose absoluteness to the ministry is without question. All the while to be "a good brother" doesn't require good character. Oh you could be anywhere. Let's take Oklahoma City for example. A brother leaves his wife to take up with another sister, but in the minds of the elders, "he's a good brother".
A brother can be physically abusive towards his wife, but as long as his actions and speaking doesn't betray what it means to be a good brother, his standing with the responsible ones is unhindered.
However a brother can find his standing as "a good brother" questionable if submission isn't unequivocal. When you begin questioning the responsible ones, that's when a brother seems to lose his standing.
