So I have never attended the bookstudy that they reassigned me to around January.
I stopped attending bookstudy altogether then. I stopped attending any meetings
after the Memorial (which I attended out of town- not at home). I am really pleasantly
surprised that I have heard absolutely nothing from the elders since before the memorial.
I heard others inviting me to the bookstudy, clearly put up to it by the Book Study
Overseer, and then finally he invited me, himself. But that was back in March.
The secretary is very thorough (in his indoctrination, loyalty, and in being secretary).
He sends this email to everyone on the bookstudy list that reminds us that we have
the responsibility to clean the hall this week. Technically, I am totally inactive and should
not be on the bookstudy list. Certainly, it is improper to tell someone that they have
the responsibility to clean a hall that they don't set foot in. I know, I was on the list and
he never removed my name. My wife got her own email, so it's not to inform her.
NOW- what to do? I don't want to antagonize him about my not coming to the hall.
(Feel free to suggest antagonizing responses, but I won't do it.)
I don't want to bother with him at all. I just got ticked off when I read this.
Ray Franz said (something to the effect) that these men become Spiritual Taskmasters
instead of Spiritual Shepherds. So true. Your thoughts????
