One of them studied WT literature with me, then led me to the alter of Jehovah at baptism.
But the absolute worst thing the elders did to me-
They made me one of them. I didn't even think to reject it by the time they tore me apart and
remade me in their image. -

I was aux. pioneering 4 months a year when I was out of work, but when I worked, I did only 2 or 3 hours or FS a month. Afterwards when I was out of work and free to aux. pioneer again, 2 elders had to sign a slip of paper. One signed, the other elder didn't want to sign, so I wasn't allowed to aux. pioneer. His reason was that I didn't do enough hours in the FS while I was in my working season.
The elders knew that I had a seasonal job and was prone to do more or less hours depening if I worked midnight to eight or not.
That elder told me to quit my job if I couldn't do more than 2 hours a month FS.
I did 350 to 400 hours of FS a year, and they tell me to quit my job...... because 3 or 4 months a year, I do less than the average.
That was the slap in the face I needed to wake up !!!

JH, the problem is that you are too honest. You should have lied about your hours, just like many of the elders and ministerial servants do.

When I was younger, a prominent elder went after me. He was the Society's go to man in this area. I eventually resigned as the PO in my Hall and went to friendlier pastures. He sucked.

He truly sucked donkey balls.
I would think he would at the least be publicly reproved for that

Hey Min,
Not TRULY, yet ...
Questioning family members behind my back regarding my "activities" and refusing to call on me at all the meetings because of alleged apostasy.
