I first became intrested after my brother joined up. I studied and was baptised July 21 90. I was a memeber of Applewood in Mississauga. Most of my experience was not to bad other then the complete waste of time. The elders didn't really try to tell me what to do. Eventually I found it insane to have a meeting about how important meetings were and although I was only around for a few years I had seen enough. I drifted away and so did my brother. I'm still sort of baffled by the whole thing. I can't believe I fell for it or that anyone would want to be involved, especially at a high level. I had no previous religious experience to compare it to so I just believed what ever was said and i just as quickly tossed out what was said later, it seemed way to complicated, when the truth has always seems very clear. Take care.
