I don't have any washtowel quotes. However, I remember Jesus teaching from the Bible itself that, if he lost one sheep, he would leave the other 99 and search for the lost sheep. When the lost sheep was found and brought back to safety, he would rejoice about it.
That is not how the hounders appear to be doing their jobs. Now that we know what the Bible teaches about it, let's see what those washtowels say about it.

I went of medical leave of absence in NOVEMBER 2006, meeting attendance was slipping as of SEPTEMBER 2006, I've attended about 4-5 meetings between Nov 2006 and now. I've recieved 0 calls since then. It's all talk to me, and practically told me my worth to the congregation. Not that I need someone to call or throw a sympathy party,but it showed me who my REAL friends are and are not.

WTW, maybe in your bible it says that Jesus went looking for the one lost sheep and rejoiced upon finding it. I bet in the NWT, however, it says Jesus threw out the one sheep because it was a black sheep and might rub off on the others. When it finally stumbled back in, he wouldn't let the other sheep so much as baa at it for 9-12 months, until it showed it would never run away again. Bad little sheep.

I don't have any WT quotes, but it's my understanding that the elders are supposed to check in with the "lost sheep" at least once a year.

Maybe your expectations are too high?
It's been my experience that for every expectation, there are a thousand shysters available to fill it. Unfortunately, people don't spend a whole lot of time investigating potential shysters.
Whose fault is that?
