On my mission to Hawaii I was assigned to an area with on of the worst SPs I've ever known. Aside from calling his wife as the Stake RS President and pressuring the Bishop of his home ward to call his 24 year old son as 1st Councillor in the BP, he was also infamous for his policy of calling members from the congregation with no prior warning to bear testimony during Stake Conference.
Members were, understandably, wary of this practice. They all accepted it as something that was a possibility and they were a bit nervous by it. We knew members who would leave the meeting before this practice started so as not be in line to be called out.
I have never before, nor ever since, seen a stake that undertook that practice.
Has anyone else seen this?
