Whats the dumbest reason youve been counseled?

My friend was counseled for having a bad attitude because he wore white socks w/ his suit.

I was counselled for having a slit in my skirt that came up to the back of my knee. The skirt was almost to my ankles. It was an elder's wife who didn't like it, and she made it quite clear. In front of a bunch of people, she told him it was inappropriate, and sent him over to counsel me.

I was only 13, but I remember standing up to him on it. I asked him if he'd like to try walking around in a skirt that long without a slit. I said I'd be unable to walk if it didn't have a slit to my knees, and that I could see plenty of people in the congregation whose skirts were shorter than where the slit came to on me. He still said he didn't think it was appropriate, and I said it wasn't his place (or his wife's) to tell me that, and that I would continue to wear it. I told him he was out of line in front of about 20 people.

Let's turn this into a nice bulleted list, shall we?

Counselled for reading too much from the Bible during my answers at the Meetings. This is because the Bible is a reference for the Watchtower, and not the other way around.
Counselled for spending too much time with my computer. *cough*
Counselled for going to gym every night.
Counselled for bleaching my hair.
Counselled for doing exceedingly naughty things with "worldly" girls at house parties. gHod only knows how they found out about that!
Counselled for being at worldy parties in the first place.
Counselled for not doing enough Field Service.

It never ended!

When I was young, I was the one that played the Music for the KingDumb songs, and one Sunday I was feeling very poorly still went to meeting tho, but I decided not to play and let the bros/sis sing without music.

After the meeting this really Jerk of an Elder came up to me and said very angrily, "We don't have any time here for moody musicians" grrrrr....lol

Umm I was 18, and dating a girl, they counceled me about this, you know the line for marriage, well I'd already stopped seeing this gal, two weeks earlier. I told them this, and I said is there anything else, they sputtered, I walked out. And never looked back.
