Craziest thing you've ever been "counseled" for???? (page 2)

Honesty

I was always the butthead who did the counseling.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

Honesty-

What kinds of crazy things did you counsel people on?

A few of us went camping for the convention. Apparently we were loud, yeah right, we were all in bed for 10.30, after at the most two pints of beer. But because we were a group of single teenagers some took it upon themselves to say how loud we were on the campsite. We were just having a laugh for f**k sake.

One by one, we were brought in front of two elders in the second school a week or two later.

Sitting by myself made me appear "unfriendly".

If you knew me, you would see how silly this was.

Using the bible at the door just when the CO started promoting only using the magazines...........

I said "hi" to someone who was disfellowshipped. You'd think I had robbed a bank by their attitude!

for wearing knee length skirts while doing stage demonstrations. They should have been floor length skirts. (showed my panties once while getting up from the table during a school talk :) )

Lets see, this is coming up on ten years ago...

I had roommates at the time, and I went out for the day. I was gone for the afternoon, but someone underage came over and drank one beer with my roommates while I was gone.

I was pulled aside and lost all my priviledges, including being able to give even #2 talks.

I was already on my way out, but that sure sped things up for me.

Repost, but I put it up again every time the "crazy counseling" thread comes back.

Got counseled for cutting open the Watchtower and Awake bundles with a razor blade, and god help me, sometimes one of the top ones would get sliced. I always just tossed it, and then put up everybody's mag order into the little boxes we had for that purpose.

Watchtower & Awake mags used to come rolled up in brown paper, about 40 to a roll IIRC. It was my job as assistant magazine servant to go get the big canvas bags of them at the post office every week, at my own expense, load them in my car, and then get there early on Friday night to cut them open and count out everybody's standing order into the mailboxes.

The new jerk of a PO spotted some mags which had been razor-cut (they were impossible to get apart without cutting a few of them), and gave me a good loud talking to in front of others on "proper respect for Jehovah's food." What was so ridiculous was that probably less than 20% of the magazines that people bought to look theocratic ended up anywhere but the trunk of their car, in a laundramat after they were three months old, or eventually into the trash.

Bottom line; no matter what one did someone had an ax to grind about it.

Petty, insignificant people with a self righteous sense of power.

I guess thats what you get when your an Elders oldest son (must set example)

The funniest thing was what didn't happen.

In my final judicial commitee hearing (last of 4) I stood up after

getting pounded on for 20 minutes, flipped them all off (both hands)

and told them to F**k Off. I'm done and out of here. Do as you will!!

Never heard from them again.
