Punkofnice,
That is good you just wanted to serve. I do think my parents saw a lot of abuse and special treatment of people by the elders. My mother was in opposition and it ended with an elder asking her to step into a small room in the kingdom hall where she claimed she got yelled at for the entire service. My father for some odd reason did not go look for her (well he was odd). But after that incident my mother no longer wanted to attend. I do remember my father expressed he was not allowed to think for himself. They thought this movement was based on a truth foundation but they were wrong. Both were woefully ignorant of the whole creation story of Russellism etc. My father knew more though. My parents visited the US in the 90s or so and there my mother saw something new to her that my father knew about; existing Bible student groups preaching on campus. In my mother's mind, it was very important "the truth" was not divided
