    Oh yeah.     I can't believe they didn't disfellowship me.    Drinking, girls, strip club, some more drinking, and some more girls.       They did publically reprove me once.      Privately several more times.

    Trouble- yes

    Backroom AKA "flogatorium" nope, helps when your Elder father runs defense for you.

    I once watched the zombie movie Dawn of the Dead at the theater with a JW friend of mine. I made the mistake of telling another friend and, sure enough, I got a talk by an elder soon after. After giving me his counsel he told me, "Don't you know that living people played those parts?"

    Duhhhhh.

    Been to the back room several times. The reason was always because I said something that sounded a little too much like an an apostate talking.

    Never in the back room, but I've been told a couple times that I and my wife need to comment more and I need more recruiting time.

    I've  been there for scaring someone by saying " i don't think i can direct anyone to this organization in good conscience because I don't think the governing body is the channel to the creator".

    If you say that you'll be back there in no time of yea and there was a second accusation since I expressed not having delight over the execution of billions at armageddon

    Been there too much recently because of my "personality" (yes, that is the official reason??WTF??)

    Now if they want to talk to me, I say, "sure, but not in the back room. Why cant we just chat as friends out here in the hall like a group of normal people?"

    As blondie said NEVER go into the back room. That will NEVER be a fair fight...you will be manipulated and ganged up on in a heartbeat!
