I was counseled on my first public talk because I emphasized certain parts to made a point and it wasn't 'balanced' enough. lol
Also, my audience contact was 'great' but I had manuscript style notes. For some reason that was a bad thing - the type of notes you have are more important than your audience contact.

Once I was told by an elder of my congregation that "the society does not recommend the use of Palm Pilots to put your talks in there"...
I asked him for the article where he read that... I never heard back from him...
Unbelievable...

When my son was a teenager, he and his friends made "crop circles" . . . .
I'm so proud of my boy!

I got counseled for EVERYTHING
* Hair too short (wasn't feminine enough for service)
*driving too fast in the parking lot
*taking my English Witness friends to visit Las Vegas when they were out here
* patting my fiancee's butt at a family gathering
* Wearing a "vintage 50's style" I was trying to draw attention to myself apparently
* getting a ride to college from a single brother when my car broke down on the way there.
* being the only girl in the dark on the beach with 5 of my male witness friends during a congregation picnic.
* Bringing a King James bible to the meetings
* Researching with books that weren't provided by the society
* Spending too much time at the gym
........... the list goes on and on

Once got a "special needs talk" after the bookstudy by the conductor because a friend dropped off a copy of MS Excel for me to use until Microsoft sent me replacement disks. He went on for 15 mins to the entire group about "terms of use" for software. I had a long job to do at home (even though I took time out to come to the stinkin' Book Study which meant I'd be up all night), so I needed the program immediately.
He never bothered to find out why I was borrowing a copy of the program. I left as soon as "amen" was spoken and never talked to him again.
